1) TEN SECOND MARCH (Grand Rapids, MI, USA)

Ten Second March formed in 2004 by Rob (Rotten) Costley. In 2005 the "Broken Knuckle Anthems EP" was released to critical acclaim and the band hit the road for an endless amount of shows over the next few years. In early 2007, the band released the "Noble Ribbon Boys" digital single that signaled a rebirth of sorts for the band. In the fall of 2008, the band released "The Path You Chose" on it's own Media Riot Records Imprint. The songs on this record describe a journey that most, if not all of us, can relate to. Songs like "Hey Jimmy" are a tribute to a fallen friend and brother and deal with issues of loss and grief. "Heroes of the Corner Bar" is a typical night out with our friends. The "Divided you fall" is a call out to our scene. The music is still straight up street rock with a punk influence. The themes are still working class, DIY, punk fuckin rock. Ten Second March prides itself on being nearly 100% DIY. We do all our own recording, writing, artwork, fliers, bookings, T-shirt printing, and almost everything else. We don't know how to do it any other way.

Line-up:

Chris Flap - Guitar/Mandolin/Vocals

3) THE BEER BARONS (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)

Brewed in Ottawa, Ontario, the Beer Barons blend traditional celtic and folk music and deliver it with the speed and intensity of punk. Everyone who has experienced their live show is well aware of their unique style of drinking music that makes you drink faster!

Starting in the early months of 2009 The Beer Barons immediately started churning out feverishly alcohol fuelled covers of their favourite folk songs as well their own audience gripping original compositions. It was clear by the summer of 2009 that the Beer Barons, through their song writing and showmanship, were a force to be reckoned with!

Over the next couple years the Beer Barons would share the stage with peers at the top of their game such as The Mahones, The Dreadnoughts, and Farler’s Fury as well as other top notch acts from the local Ottawa scene.

In the winter of 2010 the Beer Barons released their first demo “Six Pack Sampler” themselves. It is the product of two years of whiskey, tears, and heart wrenching line up changes. Despite all the forces that were working against them the release is a success and contains an eclectic collection of songs containing humorously bawdy sing-along’s (Dicken’s Cider), epic historical ballads (Flibustier of Martinique), gritty pirate tunes (Man Overboard), and crowd pleasing favourites (Folsom Prison).

Now with a powerful new line-up and 2011 just getting started, the Beer Barons are preparing to take the scene by storm!

Line-up:

Davey Lawless - Vocals, tin whistle, harmonica
Eryk Chamberland - Guitar, backup vocals
Tom Birkhan - Drums
Sarah Grant - Bass, backup vocals
Dan Bader - Mandolin, backup vocals
Eve Chamberland - Accordion, Banjo

6) THE GREAT DRUNKARDS (Novi Sad, Serbia)

The Great Drunkards were formed around the end of May in 2008. It all started when Gandy, Vlasta and Leo were drinking in the pub, 'twas Gandy who came up with an idea and said: "Let's make a music band"! Just a day later the band started working, looking for more and more members and playing more and more songs, to make them what they are today, the Great Drunkards. They play Irish indie/folk/rock music with a little bit of their own experiments, or how they like to say, they play the Irish "Hard Folk". As far as the name is concerned, 'twas in a merry month of June, when they were having a binge after a rehearsal, one of the members said something like: "How great drunkards we are...", and there it was, the band was named, Great Drunkards! What will happen with them in the future, nobody knows. But one thing is for sure. Their jolly spirits will never grow old.

Line-up:

Aleksandar Filipovic - Mandolin, octave mandolin, lead vocals
Vlasta Iker - Fiddle
Dejan Boljanovic - Accordion, vocals
Leo Bosnjak - Guitar, vocals
Jovana Milic - Bass
Vukasin Vucinic - Drums
