Bedford, United Kingdom. A fairly unknown place for those who aren't familiar with the UK, but slowly escaping the town and wanting to be heard and known are the exceptionally rowdy 4-piece rock/pop band Don Broco. Don Broco formed just over a year ago and consist of Matt (drums/vocals) , Luke (bass/vocals) , Simon (guitar/vocals) and Rob (vocals).The four boys have been working extremely hard from the get go and have a lot to show for their constant effort and determination. Accumulating over 160,000 MySpace plays that's not all they have under their belts.

Have you heard of Otenki? Sounds like Naruto’s friend right? Wrong. Otenki is a power pop band out of Houston, TX that formed in 2004 and has been making a name for themselves ever since. The band currently consists of Enoma Asowata (guitar/vocals), German Hernandez (vocals), Fausto Padilla (lead guitar/vocals/programming), and Josh Tenorio (bass/vocals). Just a short six months after forming, the band recorded their first EP. Then, soon after they won the Taste of Chaos Tour Battle of The Bands Contest and played along side of My Chemical Romance and The Used for the inaugural year of the Taste of Chaos Tour. Then went on from there to play the Ernie Ball Stage at the 2005 Vans Warped Tour and once again won the Battle of The Bands for the 2006 Taste of Chaos Tour. In 2007 they successfully went on a self promoted US summer tour. Did they stop there though? No. This year they once again were included in the Taste of Chaos Tour and also joined Vans Warped Tour on the Kevin Says Stage. Now with over one hundred shows under their belt and an ever growing fan base this Texas band has brought us their new EP, Making Sense Of Static. The New EP was produced by Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Circa Survive, Senses Fail).

Know Them Before They’re Famous: Farewell

About a twenty-five years ago, The Ramones said it best, “We want the airwaves/We want the airwaves, baby/If rock is gonna stay alive.” Now let us flash forward past the fanny packs of the 90’s, the rise of pop-rap to musical conformity, and a stock market crash, to the present day music scene. Gone is the grungy edge of The Ramones, The Clash and Blondie; gone is the anarchist attitude that gave rock its sound. But in the slew of highlighter deep-Vs and Technicolor sneakers, one band holds true to their punk predecessors. Clad in classic Vans and the simple colors of the past, FAREWELL is bringing the punk and rock back to punk-rock music
