Artist 1:
Forever May Fall (Charlotte, NC)
Song - "Who You Are"
I asked Forever May Fall, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We are a female fronted band that blends styles of bands like Breaking Benjamin and Bad Omens with pop production like artists like The Weeknd. We worked with Josh Landry (Lø Spirit) on this track and we hope you’ll enjoy it!"
A bit more about Forever May Fall (taken from their Spotify):
Forever May Fall is a four-piece rock band from Charlotte, North Carolina founded in 2017 by vocalist & songwriter Jillyan “Fox” Brennan. With one album down, a lineup change, and a global pandemic abruptly halting momentum, the band has come back swinging with their hiatus breaking single “Aftermath” released in February of 2022. Rebranding and blending the sounds of influences such as Evanescence, Halestorm, Bad Omens, Spiritbox, Underoath, and many more, Forever May Fall hopes to break the molds of any one genre. Working with producers such as Joshua Landry (LØ Spirit, Motionless in White, Funeral Portrait), Kile Odell, (Nita Strauss, Motionless in White, Fozzy) and Wes Lauterbach (Lowborn) has made that possible. “No two songs sound exactly alike. We have our sound on it for sure, but everyone we’ve been blessed to work with has added their own bit of finesse to each track. To me, that makes each release more exciting,” says Jillyan. “This is our rebirth” – a word that has stuck with guitarist & songwriter, Colt Crevar since his addition to the band in late 2020. “Rebirth, rebranding, we’re getting back out there and we’re doing it in a big way.”

Watersdeep (Washington, D.C)
Song - "Hopeless & Restless"
I asked Watersdeep, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We draw influences from a variety of bands, but mostly love to blend 2000's emo with modern metalcore (Also our mascot is a duck, which is pretty unique)."

"Everyone is a multi-instratrumentalist that came together through the power of craigslist."
A bit more about Endfall (from their Spotify):
"Endfall is currently a 4-piece American Alt-Metal band from Fayetteville, Arkansas. The band originally formed in 2015 as a collection of local misfit multi-instrumentalists that were able to join forces through the magic of the internet. The members of the band cite their influences as spreading across a wide array of genres. With such a variety of influences, they each had backgrounds involving a variety of playing styles. Recognizing this as playing to each members' respective strengths, they have incorporated a balance of heavy and melodic tones instrumentally as well as vocally into their sound."

Artist 6:
Dying Oath (Wytheville, VA)
Song - "Burn"
I asked Dying Oath "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We come from a place where only country music and bluegrass are played.There are no music venues or even bars. We have overcome every obstacle imaginable. We have played huge metal festivals with no management and no label. We work extremely hard and would love to have someone that we admire check out our music. It\nIsn't about money or fame... We just want to pick your brain and hear what you think."
A bit more about Dying Oath (from their Spotify):
