Sevendust Heavy Metal/Alternative Metal: The Atlanta-based quintet Sevendust became one of the rising acts in late-'90s heavy metal with an aggressive blend of bottom-heavy riffs and soulful, accessible melodies. The band, comprised of frontman Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly (guitar), Clint Lowery (guitar), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums), first appeared in 1995 as Crawlspace, releasing the single "My Ruin" on the Mortal Kombat: More Kombat recording. Shortly thereafter, the group changed its name to Sevendust and released a self-titled debut in 1997. Two years later, the bandmates issued the gold-selling Home and played over 800 shows alongside such groups as Creed, along with a stop at Woodstock '99. Their angst-ridden third album, the aptly titled Animosity, appeared in fall 2001, and Seasons followed in 2003. In late December 2004, word surfaced that Lowery had left the band. Sevendust announced ex-Snot guitarist Sonny Mayo as Lowery's replacement. Next, Sevendust's fifth album and their first self-produced effort, appeared in October 2005. 2007's Alpha climbed to number 14 on the Billboard charts and paving the way for the band's seventh effort. Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow arrived in April 2008, featuring an appearance by former American Idol star Chris Daughtry.

Shinedown Rock/Alternative Metal: Melodic hard rockers Shinedown hail from Jacksonville, Florida and feature vocalist Brent Smith, guitarist Jasin Todd, bassist Brad Stewart and drummer Barry Kerch. Snapped up by Atlantic Records during the early ‘00's flurry of post-Creed and Nickelback signings, the group released their debut album Leave a Whisper in 2003. Whisper ended up doing quite well for the band, aided by its single "Fly from the Inside." Shinedown also supported it with a heroic slate of live shows, remaining on tour for most of 2004. The following year the band issued a live album documenting those shows, then returned in October 2005 with their sophomore effort Us and Them.

The Almost Rock/Alternative pop/Post-Grunge: The Almost is an emo solo project by Aaron Gillespie, drummer and occasional lead singer for Underoath, the Christian metalcore outfit he co-founded in 1998. Choosing to come out from behind the skins like his idol Dave Grohl before him, the Florida-bred Gillespie (who relocated to Salt Lake City in early 2007, following his marriage) wanted to explore a different outlet for his songwriting outside of his hard-hitting main gig. Written as Underoath was recording their critically acclaimed 2006 album Define the Great Line (and recorded soon after that album's completion), the songs on the Almost's melodically-inclined debut album, April 2007's Southern Weather, are pointedly lacking Underoath's metalcore sound; the album's first single, "Say It Sooner," features a rhythm guitar track directly inspired by Johnny Cash's original musical partner, Luther Perkins, among others. Although Gillespie played all of the instruments on Southern Weather, which was jointly released by Tooth and Nail and Virgin, he formed a full band version of the Almost for touring purposes. This incarnation featured himself on vocals, guitarist Jay Vilardi, bassist Alex Aponte, and drummer Kenny Bozich.

Cover Girl Presents Teddy Geiger Alternative Pop/Singer Songwriter: Teddy Geiger began playing piano at the age of 8 and guitar at the age of 12. He wrote his first song at the age of 10. First seen in national media as a finalist in VH1's In Search of the Partridge Family, Geiger toured with Hilary Duff, serving as the opening act on her summer 2005 Still Most Wanted Tour. His first single, "For You I Will (Confidence)", was officially released in February 2006 to positive reviews. His debut album, Underage Thinking, was released on March 21, 2006, and peaked at number eight (#8) in the US Billboard 200 albums chart. Geiger had a small role on the short lived television series Love Monkey, which originally aired on CBS and was later moved to VH1. He played the young up-and-coming musician Wayne Jensen, starring alongside Tom Cavanagh and Jason Priestley. His song "For You I Will (Confidence)" was featured as the theme to the show on the later episodes and was nominated for "Best Love Song" in the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. He has already released a second single, "These Walls", which began receiving steady radio airplay in September 2006 and was later released as a music video. His debut album Underage Thinking won the award for 'Best Album of the Year' at the annual MusiqTone MusiqAwards. He was also nominated for 'New Artist of the Year' but lost to Panic! at the Disco. Geiger also received an AVMA for Brand Spankin' New Artist in 2007.

With Special Guests Hilary McRae Singer Songwriter: A singer and songwriter who knew her calling by the age of 15, Hilary McRae would be one of the first ‘developing artists' to release an album on the Starbucks Cafe and Concord Music Group's label, Hear Music. Her retro-soul style, which drew comparisons to seventies soul and pop, was collected on the full length Through These Walls in 2008. The album, which was created with long time collaborator Zach Ziskin, also featured the talents of arranger Charlie Calello. The album would go on to peak well within the top twenty on Billboard's Top Heatseekers. Scott Harris

Kill Hannah Rock / Post grunge: Kill Hannah was essentially vocalist/guitarist Mat Devine's dorm room four-track baby until a move to Chicago in 1995. After recruiting a few supporting players, Devine and Kill Hannah debuted the sound — a glitzy mix of gothic tendencies and fashionably crunchy modern rock. Steady local gigs followed, as did a series of self-released EPs and a couple of albums (1997's Here Are the Young Moderns, 1999's American Jet Set). Devine finally found a lineup that stuck as his band's dogged, sometimes thankless tour of duty on the Chicago music scene dragged into the new millennium. With guitarists Dan Wiese and Jonathan Radtke, bassist Greg Corner, and drummer Garrett Hammond along for the ride, Kill Hannah continued to build a buzz locally while showcasing for majors frequently. The hard work finally paid off in late 2002, when Devine and the band signed with Atlantic. For Never & Ever appeared in October 2003; in addition to new material, it featured a few retooled versions of older songs. Kill Hannah toured in support of the album through year's end, returning to the studio later to complete their next record, 2006's Until There's Nothing Left of Us.

Faster Pussycat Rock / Hard Rock: In 2001 Faster Pussycat reformed featuring original members Taime Downe (vocals), Brent Muscat (guitar), Greg Steele (guitar); alongside Taime's former Newlydeads bandmates Xristian Simon (guitar), Danny Nordahl (bass), and Chad Stewart (drums). Danny Nordahl had also played in The Throbs, and Danny Nordahl and Chad Stewart both also play in Motochrist. A remix compilation Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy was released the same year by the band, featuring industrial rock remixes of their classic tracks, along with a bonus cover of KISS' "I Was Made For Loving You". This divided fans as many of the band's older fanbase who enjoyed standard hard rock, were not familiar with industrial rock. Steele would leave the band half-way through the band's 2001 tour with Poison and Cinderella. Tracii Guns filled in as guitarist for the rest of the tour, but once the remaining dates were completed, Faster Pussycat continued as a five piece. After Brent was unable to tour in 2005 having been diagnosed with throat cancer, Eric Griffin from Murderdolls filled in as the guitarist for their United States tour.	L. A. Guns Rock / Hard Rock: L.A. Guns started in 1982 as a straightup dirty rock n roll band. The band was put together by Tracii Guns in his last year of high school. The band has had some noteable members such as Axl Rose, Phillip Lewis and Jizzy Pearl, but continues today with band members Marty Casey (the Singer) Jeremy Guns (the Bass Player) Chad Stewart (the Drummer), and of course Tracii Guns (the Guitarist) and Big Al (The other Guitarist). L.A. Guns has been a work in progress without an end in sight, continually touring and of course writing and recording a huge variety of rock n roll sounds. Some people believe that L.A. GUNS may be the last true rock n roll band that hasn’t had to rely on outside writers or the help or corporate funding to have continued success.
