I want this to be generalized so others could share this thread but..

I am for sure going this year but I think I am less familiar with bands this year than the last few.. I guess I'll manage in the end but who should I check out? I'm more of a metal fan than punk but I still like some stuff
I guess I can list who I am super stoked to see and maybe you guys can help me fill in the blanks

Ampere, Circle Takes The Square ,Coalesce
Comadre Forensics Ghost Mice Municipal Waste
Ruiner Sinaloa Suicide Note
The Holy Mountain Worn In Red Young Widows

thats quite the curve ball in there..

Idunno, you might check out A Wilhelm Scream, Shook Ones, Cloak/Dagger....if you have some time to kill just google each band and sample some of the stuff they have streaming and see which ones you might wanna check out

Sharks Come Cruisin'. I am most stoked to see that band.

yeah that's definitely my plan! maybe check out a band or two a day.

but I'm always looking out for a good live show too... I know municipal waste will have a good one them and comadre blew me away just from stage antics and the crowd.. and that is totally what I live for at the Fest

I think you need to let us know who else is confirmed Cam, because they aren't in our list here.

Should I add them to the list??? It isn't listed on their MySpace.

Paint It Black

I saw them. They have sing-a-long cue cards.

Awesome.

wilhelm scream, none more black

more bands should do this.

I'm glad AWS is playing because I haven't been able too talk to Nuno because he's been touring since someone asked me to see if they were playing.

I know cool dudes. 700k @ m3!

hehe

just listened to them
I hope I'm done filming for the day when this band plays
sounds like a ridiculously good time

Emotron
because he is simply hilarious
and puts on a very entertaining show.
I was introduced to his music at last year's Fest.

everyone should see atom & his package
