Hermosa Indie Signs Band

Hermosa Beach independent label Hardline Entertainment has signed Southern California rock band Nations Afire, the company announced Tuesday.

The band's new full-length album, The Ghosts We Will Become, will be released later this summer. The title song performed in a YouTube video is shown here with this article.

Nations Afire, a four-piece rock band, features current and former members of some of Southern California's hardest hitting bands of the last decade, said Ken Seaton, Hardline label founder.

Guitarist Chris Chasse has an impressive resume that includes tenure with Rise Against; vocalist/guitarist Nik Hill and bassist Brett Rasmussen are longtime members of the Orange County hardcore outfit Ignite and drummer Todd Hennig was the percussive force behind Death By Stereo on three albums.   

"We at Hardline are very excited to have the opportunity to release the Nations Afire record," said Seaton. "I have known the guys in the band for many years through their previous projects and have always been a fan of their music. This record The Ghosts We Will Become is a perfect blend of punk, hardcore and rock that is still very accessible."
