Many of you know, Jesse, now of LEFTSTRONGER was a member of
a popular Baltimore band called Close To Normal as the lead singer/front man and song writer. The songs he originally wrote Can It Be, So Close
and Reborn were performed by the band at many excellent venues
in Baltimore. LEFTSTRONGER is now in the studio working on an album
and playing out with ALL extremely talented band mates Rob, who is
the most amazing guitarist in Baltimore, Spencer-best bass player.
Jesse, Rob, and Spencer are experienced and multi-faceted
musicians that pull the band together and knock the socks
off Marylanders. LeftStronger is soon to tour the East Coast.
Jesse is 24 years old and perfomed many times within the Baltimore
music scene, including headlining at Rams Head Live, Recher,
Fletchers and many more. (Not bragging, but said by many) his voice
is often compared to Chris Cornell of Sound Garden and Audio Slave,
Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and
Scot Stepp of Creed.The original project called LeftStronger...performs catchy songs that gets the crowds going crazy with energetic and melodic vocals. The talented band members, stage presence and ability
to command the audience makes every show a must-see. The lryics and
original music will rock you to your core! Jesse writes very catchy songs
with lots of hooks. He has an easy going personality and great range.
Elise Major

Elise Major is without a doubt one of the most talented outfits
to breakout of the northeast of the United States, and will
undoubtably put Baltimore back on the Rock & Roll map. All the
right elements are there; great musicianship, a tremendously talented
front woman, and songwriting craftmanship. The sky is the limit
with this band that combines driving bass, riff-heavy guitars and
a more classically-inspired arrangement.
Elise Major is a winner of the Silver Award in the Rock/Alternative
Category in the 25th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for the song, "Green", Honorable Mention in the Rock/Alternative Category in
the 25th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for the song,
"Icebox (Piano Version)"

Dropout Year
www.myspace.com/dropoutyear
Moving forward has never sounded so sweet. After heartbreak, sweat
and even some tears, Dropout Year is finally in peak condition. Consisting
of lead vocalist Steve Reter, guitarists Brandon Reter and Adam Goodman, bassist Dan Ciarrocchi and drummer Jordan Young, Dropout Year has
found their most stable and productive lineup to date. So with firm ground under their feet, Dropout Year can finally focus on their goal: bringing catchy, bright pop-rock to as many people as possible. A goal like this doesn’t happen overnight. Dropout Year aren’t an instant success story,
but that’s not to say that the band hasn’t had plenty of early triumphs.
With three EP’s under their belt and a new 8-song EP out early this
year, the band knows how to craft the melodies fans crave with the
honesty of a dear friend. From following the 2008 Van’s Warped Tour
and selling over 3500 CDs in three weeks by sheer force of will to securing studio time with producer Rob Freeman (Hit The Lights, Armor For Sleep,
Cobra Starship), Dropout Year have created their own opportunities.
As Reter says in his typically upbeat fashion, “With every move we make
in our lives, we affect everything around us. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. But we’re always in transition and ready for the next move.” Don’t be surprised if the next move he’s talking about ends up
being one that turns Dropout Year into a household name.
Woodbine Hotline
myspace.com/woodbinehotline
Our name is Woodbine Hotline. Pay strict attention to what we say
because we choose our words carefully and we never repeat ourselves.
We've told you our name: that's the Who. The Where could most
readily be described as Carroll County, Maryland. But we've played all
kinds of different shows. We one time did a show at the Shops at
Kenilworth mall. The What is easy: recently we planned and set in
motion events to release a new CD by the name of "The People That
You Meet." As for the Why: beyond the obvious reasons, it's
exceedingly simple... because we can. Which leaves us only
with
the How; and therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.
Victory by Revenge
www.myspace.com/victorybyrevenge
core death metal but we do not wish to hurt you in any way.
We're - the girl next door - minus the boobs (We are 5 dudes that are
super sweet hearts and love our moms very much.)
There are 5 of us and we all have our own awesome personalities.
Greg Friedman, James Ennis, John Rossomondo, Casey Phillips,
and Rick Butler. Come to a show or talk to us on myspace
and meet us all!! We live in the middle of nowhere in
Howard county, MARYLAND (Represent!!!)
