Brothers ‘n Arms was conceived in early 2010 in central Texas when the Vines brothers got together to jam with bassist, Jesse James. The three realized from that first day that they had enough common ground musically to start a new project. As the weeks passed, the trio placed the framework for a powerful project that became known as Brothers N Arms. The sound of the group is a blend of influences that ranges from Metallica to POD from Nirvana to Zeppelin.  
“One of the early things we talked about,” says vocalist and guitarist, Daniel Vines, “was keeping it simple. We wanted to do something special and new that also pays tribute to the great power trios of the past, like Motorhead, Nirvana, Rush, and others.”

Least Of These
7:45-8:30

Least of These is an indie/post-hardcore/rock band from Denton, TX. In their short time together, LOT seen success at venues in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and is looking to expand their influence since the upcoming release of their first EP, More Than Conquerors in Summer 2011.

With influences like Thrice, As Cities Burn, and So Long Forgotten, Least of These writes heavy-hitting, melodic rock songs with passionate lyrics to share their intense love that they have for promoting their faith through music. We thank God for the opportunity to be able to do this, and we appreciate all of you for taking the time to listen.

"This EP, More Than Conquerors, is a passionate collection of songs put together by an extremely talented group of four guys based out of Denton, Texas....Each song has an incredibly heartfelt message and meaning which makes the album feel inspired, not only by the ideas of the writer, but by the voice of our Almighty God speaking straight to the songwriter. This album is a great one if you like indie rock with meaningful passionate lyrics. Even though this is only a seven track EP, in some ways it feels like the perfect amount of music. But it also in other ways doesn’t feel like enough. It has a really kind of bittersweet ending which left me feeling satisfied. I definitely recommend checking out this band and album." - Cimarron Hatch - Indie Vision Music

"Overall this is a great debut from Least of These. They have crafted some very creative and enjoyable indie rock. These guys have a lot of talent, and I look forward to seeing what they come up with next. For this being their very first album, I am looking forward to what they come up with in the future. Least of These have created a strong debut album that is well worth your time to check out." - Joshua Clark - Christcore.net


sosaveme
8:30-9:15

Through life’s journey, sosaveme realized that all they could ever really offer anyone was honesty. This truth became evident in their music, relationships, and individual lives. The music stemming from sosaveme is a reflection of the band members’ passion to share what lies within their hearts- whether it be attractive or scarred and dirty. It is this kind of honesty that unites the music makers with those who listen.

Like most bands, they’ve toured, slept in a van and practically bought that entire van over again part by part. They’ve played shows for two kids, played shows for hundreds of kids, and battled life on the road since 2005. However, through all these highs and lows, it's the people that have come to matter most. Each life has a story – and these guys want to know yours. Rather than simply performing, sosaveme strives to develop relationships and consequently inspire and encourage these new friends.

The band went into the studio this summer with Tyler Orr of First Street Studios (As Cities Burn, The Chariot), to create a passionate expression of the intensity previously captured only in their live show. They most definitely succeeded. With pleading vocals, daring instrumentation and gut wrenching lyrics, this is no fairy tale album. It is a haunting self-reflection that searches the darkness of the human heart. The lyrical content touches on grace, pride, self forgiveness and the death of love. The finished product is entitled The Garden, and releases October 4th, 2011.

Geared with fresh music and a renewed spirit, sosaveme is ready to play shows, share their art and encounter individuals across the world. Look at sosaveme.com for continual updates.

Sons
9:15-10:00

As the first sound plays, the doors open. The ceilings are high. The walls are covered in elaborate art that tells stories of allusive faith and possibilities. Angelic harmonies begin to circulate varying guitar frequencies that drive and sooth the passion inspired inside of you. This is the musical cathedral built by SONS. This is where potential is realized.

Playing with a poetic message and delivering it with power, SONS have created a masterful sound filled with highs and lows – polarizing swings that mirror the beauty of life’s struggle and redemption. Led by multi-talented Aaron Newberry, SONS have spent the last four years manufacturing a gracious grassroots following on an empty budget. Their explosive ‘The Genesis Prologue EP’ surpassed 10,000 downloads, and their debut album, with a release date yet to be determined, was funded completely by preorders. Over 7,000 dollars raised purely on anticipation!

Produced by the up-and-coming Jared Fox, at Fox Den Studios in Nashville, SONS' release of their first full-length will be monumental for both the band, as well as the progression of Christian and Mainstream rock. Their versatility is matched only by their sincerity. SONS have facilitated a medley of tones that has cultivated a truly refreshing, eclectic resonation.
