We're from Utica, originally formed in 2002 and have endured 2 major lineup

For all of you have not heard of us..our names forthehorizon <@ born and raised
in syracuse ny we get together as often as possible to play...sadly as of now,
4/5ths of the band attends college so our practice's are usually smaller shows.
anyways, here in syracuse we hooked up with Aux records.. they released our
debut 5 song ep "if all else fails" and helped us out in more ways then we could
count this past year. As of dec 05' we have started to write the new record and
are looking forward to sharing it with you all. peice by peice, show by show. we
have also shared the stage with national acts such as emery, saosin, every time

http://www.myspace.com/dontfeedsatanbandbio:
D F S is from Utica, NY and contains former members of Malice In Underland (Ox),
Ground Floor (Mark & Brandon), and No CLue(Josh & Ox). The group formed in
October of 2004 under the name DriftingFromShore. After welcoming Rob(Malice In
Underland) in April of 2005, and the decision to officially change the name, the
band became unstoppable. Ox joined the band in mid June to "round out" the
already versatile sound and from there the band exploded onto the scene with
their intense stage show and mesmerizing song-writing capabilities. After
winning the 2005 WOUR BATTLE OF THE BANDS things really started to pick up. Just
recently the local paper, The Observer Dispatch, featured DFS on the cover of
their "Weekend Plus" and "Fusion" newspapers as well as an in depth article
dicussing our recent good fortunes. This was an awesome experience for us and
the article is available online at
http://www.observerdispatch.com. We're currently in
the process of writing new material.
D F S just recently returned from Albany, performing at Norhtern Lights in
Clifton Park, NY and is set to be returning in the near future.

Torment The Vein
http://www.myspace.com/tormenttheveinbandbio:
Formed in 2004 by AJ Cole, former frontman of Inborn and noted solo artist,
Torment the Vein has often been compared to powerhouse bands like Staind, the
Deftones and Breaking Benjamin. With vocals in the vein of Aaron Lewis, AJ has
rounded out the rest of TTV with Syracuse-area musicians Steve Remp on drums,
Josh Sherman on bass, Brad Baker and BJ Carter on guitars.
After months of practicing and writing TTV is ready to create their path of
destruction. Already signed to indie label Red Steel Records, TTV maintains
their positive attitude and willingness to succeed, expecting even more of this
band than previous endeavors. Nothing is going to stand in this five-some's way.
After a summer of touring Torment the Vein will release their debut album
"Perfect" in August 2005 on Red Steel Records.
