From the Persil Booking website:

Hey fuckers,


march will be hot as fuck, you'd better get ready! wanna know why? here's the explanation...



LIGHT YOURSELF ON FIRE
(Tampa, FL - Usa)

Featuring ex members of REVERSAL OF MAN - SCROGS & OMEGA MAN

Band
http://www.lightyourselfonfire.net
Myspace
http://www.myspace.com/lightyourselfonfire
Label
http://www.seventhrule.com


Light Yourself On Fire is a group of four veterans of Tampa, Florida's vibrant "hardcore" community, notably former Reversal of Man vocalist Matt Coplon, Robert Winslow and Ken Karg of Omega Man and Scrog and John Allen, also of Scrog. Light Yourself On Fire is a logical extension of the band members' collective musical pasts, a love letter to Florida's metal history and a substantial statement in its own right. Despite the disc's eighteen minute runtime, there is more than enough material here to merit one's interest. Their brand of metallic hardcore might have more in common with Coalesce than Black Flag or Converge but there is an undeniably punk approach to even the disc's most metal moments. There's a little bit of everything in LYOF's stylistic bag of tricks (shredding, grinding, chugging, squealing, screaming, etc.)
and these guys make every last note work!!!

FIGHT AMP
(Williamstown, NJ - Usa)


Band
http://www.fightamputation.com
Label
http://www.translationloss.com
Myspace
http://www.myspace.com/fightamp


Hailing from New Jersey, FIGHT AMP channels a sound and presence that harkens the days of old and is reminiscent of the AMREP / dirty dingy side of extreme music. FIGHT AMP (previously known as Fight Amputation) have spent nearly six years toiling over their sound, traveling the country, self-releasing records, self booking their own massive tours, sweating in basements
and sleeping in vans crafting what is now their highly refined and most focused effort to date, MANNERS AND PRAISE, as well as their debut Translation Loss release, HUNGRY FOR NOTHING.

“Fight Amp’s live show is akin to a sonic tornado. Fast, furious, and noisy!
This band is flying the tattered noise rock flag high and doing it right!! Maybe even better than the glory days of Amrep!
Prepare for your pummeling.” – Decibel
