East Coast Dreamers – Breaking Hearts To Break Barriers (CD)

The East Coast Dreamers start off their “Breaking Hearts To Break Barriers” with a track that skillfully unites pop-punk with what is currently called “emo”, while staying away from the pitfalls present with both genres.

East Arcadia-Demo (CD)

East Arcadia Demo-Despite the decidedly emo sounding name, East Arcadia is a very hard hitting punk band with sharp vocals and ever present bass lines. The drums, being played at a breakneck speed, never fail to keep up with the superb vocals and guitar playing and add a whole new dimension to the band.
