SATURATE
The Houston based four-piece quartet, Saturate, made it’s debut in the summer of 2005. Exploding on to the southeast region with an electric live show and original sound to cater to a broad variety of listeners. It didn’t take much time to become very well known throughout the area of Texas and Louisiana. They have been non-stop with their activity since the first show and continue to push further, “We’re on a mission here, this band and these songs aren’t just an option for us, it’s all we have..we will never quit. period.”(Jimmy Miller)
The band is now currently working the new tracks for the third upcoming album, untitled as of now. Still on the search for a management/label to make a home for the band. Saturate plans to have a single ready for everyone by early 2012, with a new video. The Twinz will once again be shooting the next single, In Our Own Way. It will be released independently. Saturate intends on keeping busy with shows and recording to ensure an early 2012 release. Everything the band does and pushes is independent and done inside the house of Saturate itself, so the support of many truly help.

DOWNSIID
Initially formed as a 4 piece at Ft. Hood army base by drummer Rich Burgos the band soon evolved with members shipping out to other locations. Singer, Jason “String” Atwood joined the band after a chance meeting with Burgos at a tattoo shop owned by String. After a short time the band’s DJ Akira MC found himself in the fold and the band was completed with Jason Quintero on bass and Spanish and G. Dell, lead and rhythm guitarists respectively climbed aboard. “Downsiid’s early years had hardcore roots until String’s writing and voice developed a new sound that consisted of hard rock with soulful vocals,” related drummer, Rich. “As the band matured over the years, strong musical and big singing hooks became a huge part of our sound. Today the commercial side of Downsiid has surfaced and hooks, musicianship and creativeness are the number one priority in the writing process.”

THE LAST HOUR
“The Last Hour” is a Modern Rock/Alternative band originally formed in Eden, NC by Travis Comer, in the Summer of 2005. Along side this early lineup was drummer John Bowman, bassist Cyle Ritchie and guitarist Justin Carter. In early 2006 the band decided to part ways with guitarist Carter & drummer Bowman. They would later add Chicago native Ray Mietus on drums becoming a power trio based out of Greensboro, NC. The band soon began recording demo tracks for songs that would be featured on the band’s first E.P.
The band officially reunited with former drummer Paul Salas in July 2012. They have since played SXSW 2012 shows along with national acts such as 10 Years and TRAPT. The band is currently in the writing process and will hit the studio early 2013 to record their sophmore follow up to “A Month of Sundays”.
