-Joe -Central NJ -I play drums and write music with Marloneisha, The Best of The Worst, In Angles, Fleeting, The Great Repression, and some other projects. I rap sometimes too under the name caustic wit but i'm new to that. I do this Choke Artist thing with some of my best pals, we try to cover local/underground music on our website. We release music and run shows sometimes too. You can catch me at a show playing drums or holding a camera and headbanging. I put some drum stuff on my youtube channel every now and then, but definitely not as often as I said I would haha. Some of my favorite bands/artists - tera melos, bigwig, hopesfall, mustard plug, a tribe called quest, misery signals, we are the union, weatherbox, glassjaw, dillinger four, little brother, fordirelifesake, a wilhelm scream, veil of maya, counterfit

Hey, I'm Kyle. Some of us are cool and some of us are going to be new friends.
I'm in Old Bridge, NJ. Specifically Cliffwood Beach.
I'm not involved in anything right now but I love radio. So I hope to get back into that as a real career instead of just doing college radio.
Favorite band? Not sure. I'll take the cop out and say that the band I've seen most in my life is Less Than Jake, so they're up there. The Movielife, New Found Glory, Blink 182, Four Year Strong, A Loss For Words, Vanna, Every Time I Die, Have Heart, Comeback Kid, Saves The Day, and Big D all hold special places in my heart.
I can talk about sports all day. Hell, that's what my radio show was about. I'm sure a few of you know about my love for sports since I'm constantly blowing up Facebook with updates. It's probably annoying as fuck.

-Hi I'm Tyler
-I'm in NC! The Asheville part.
-Formerly of Corporate Fandango and Neither Scene Nor Herd. Currently playing in the newly founded Fashion Bath, based outta here in Asheville. I play da bass.
-I listen to a lot of progressive stuff. Anything from The Dear Hunter, to The Fall of Troy, to Closure in Moscow, to Manchester Orchestra, that kinda stuff. I'm trying to get more well-versed in some electronic and good hip hop. If I had to pick 3 of my favorite albums this year, I'd go with St. Vincent's self titled, Closure in Moscow's Pink Lemonade, and Madvillainy. Tons of other good ones came out this year too though.
-I basically just work two silly jobs and play a lot of music and sit around playing video games with my frands. That's essentially my plan until I've got enough money to finish my last two years of school. Super exciting stuff!

-Tyler (b) Rativa. -North Jersey - I play guitar in Gifts , and Facility. From time to time or mostly when i have extra time and money I book shows anywhere I can around new jersey. Usually they're in the hardcore / emo / skramz vein. Typically though, I just book bands that I personally would like to see. If they're about some really cool politics or something that's always a plus as well. - Some of my favorite bands at the moment are Ampere, Waste Management , The Assistant , Sunny Day Real Estate , Guidelines, Three Shades Of Dirty , (early) boysnightout, Youth Of Today, pg.99 , (early) mogwai , (early) cavein. - I Love message boards and think this is an awesome idea!! - deadformat.net/collection/Psychedelic

Favorite bands: lower definition, chon, dance Gavin dance, emarosa, ttng, piglet, invalids, the story so far, rufio, in angles
Things: art is cool
