Stepping out at
THE AP FALL BALL
Forget
about the economy, political fear-mongers and the G20 Summit: We’ve got a
sweet, sweet tour happening! This month’s issue is dedicated to the moshers and
shakers of our “fall formal.” Get your tickets now or end up lying about why
you weren’t there to whatever friends you manage to keep…

MAYDAY PARADE
The ambitious Florida pop contingent no longer have to worry
about selling their discs out of their van, but it doesn’t mean they’ll be
kicking back and chillaxing anytime soon.
SET YOUR GOALS....
Be careful: SYG have perfected their pop hooks and mosh
mechanics. We don’t want you blowing out a knee in the pit while they’re
playing.
THE
SECRET HANDSHAKE
Luis Dubuc learned early on that there are only two kinds of
music: good and bad. He hopes you understand that, as well.
YOU
ME AT SIX
These British pop punks are coming for the scene. It’s
outsourcing we can get behind.....
