A band that shows endless perseverance; Woe, Is Me have proved themselves to be a continuous sign of not only hope, but an example proving that it’s possible to overcome even the impossible. Their sophomore album ‘Genesi[s]’ is jaw-dropping and brutal yet deliciously poppy and inspiring. This is the beginning of something new, something of vital importance to the modern music scene that carries with it a message of consequence.


Memphis May Fire have consistently pushed the envelope to redefine both themselves and the various sub-genres they’ve made their mark within. Their fresh approach to an otherwise stale scene gathered critical acclaim and facilitated the delivery of their music to the masses and established a live precedent that the band continues to build on today. Fast forward to 2013 and Memphis May Fire have broadened their reach and welcome a new world of possibilities within the scope of their burgeoning career. Their high-octane live show acts as a testament to their ever-increasing identity and always leaves the audience wanting more. Their latest album ‘Challenger’ “is exactly what its namesake implies – it’s a battle cry, a war. Memphis May Fire have been near breaking point for years and they waste no time letting it rip this time around.” - AbsolutePunk
