Hollywood Ending is a four-piece band formed in summer 2011. The band consists of Tyler Wilson (vocals, 17), Cameron Byrd (guitar & vocals, 17), Dan Geraghty (guitar, 17), and Chris Bourne (bass, 19). Hailing from Maryland, New York, and the UK, these boys came together with a shared dream of becoming big in the music industry. They got their start on season 4 of Radio Disney's Next Big Thing competition making it in 3rd place. Since then, they have released two singles "You Got Me" and "I'm So Over You" which have been a success with fans and can be heard on Radio Disney. They have appeared on three tours since the formation of the band, opening for artists like Action Item, Honor Society, and Allstar Weekend, playing many sold-out shows across the entire United States and Canada. The past 7 months have brought Hollywood Ending an incredible career. With all of the success they have had already, and their brand new debut album "Always 18" out this August, you can expect great things to come from these boys. They're just getting started!

The After Party

With songs that instantly catch listeners' ears, and a sound that combines the best of the boy band era with modern day pop rock, it's no surprise that The After Party is quickly becoming a favorite for music lovers across America. Though the group formed just over two years ago, this Kansas City, KS quartet has already begun to make an impact in the underground music scene. In November of 2009, the group released their debut EP "All The Wrong Places," produced by Kevin Gates (Nevershoutnever, Romance On A Rocketship, The Ready Set). These six songs, along with facetime on MTV's Teen Cribs, instantly brought attention to the band and allowed them to begin touring nationally. Though the boys were fresh out of high school, their charisma and professionalism on and off stage gained the band respect and a dedicated following, opening opportunities such as a featured performance at the Texas State Fair, an acoustic tour sponsored by Hot Topic, and support performances with acts like Cartel, We Are The In Crowd, the GS Boyz, and Runner Runner. The After Party recently recorded their sophomore EP with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Cartel) and released it April 4th, 2011. By listening to tracks like "Can't Stop" and "Secret Lover" it is evident that the group has graduated from playing adolescent pop rock songs into writing Top 40 hits, ready to take over radio and clubs alike. The group is currently supporting Allstar Weekend (Hollywood Records) on their entire US/Canadian Tour and is set to release their third record this summer. These talented pop rockers are poised to make a huge impact in the music scene in the very near future.

 

THE GETAWAYS
In the summer of 2008, The Getaways began strumming tunes and singing their hearts out in the local scene with hopes of making something of their music. This band embedded their distinctive synth-laden melodies into the very minds of fans and friends over the years. In 2011, this group of Maryland-based rockers have accomplished and achieved quite a lot, with no intention of slowing down. Between directly supporting and sharing bills with acts such as We The Kings (S-Curve), Motion City Soundtrack (Columbia), Mayday Parade (Atlantic), Family Force 5 (Tooth & Nail), Jeffree Star (Popsicle) and more, the band has toured the east coast alongside acts such as Just Surrender (Razor and Tie), The After Party, Floral Terrace (Crushtone) and My Arcadia. The Getaways have been featured in Substream Magazine, on Baltimore's 98 Rock (97.9 FM) radio station, and even signed a licensing deal with ESPN to have four songs off the first record featured during both the 2010 Lacrosse season and the 2011 College Baseball season. This, included with the band's inclusion on the Maryland date of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour, only foreshadows things to come for The Getaways in the future.

SANDLOT HEROES
Armed with catchy pop/rock songs and talented members, Sandlot Heroes is committed to a new kind of sound. A mix of introspective, original lyrics and sing-along choruses set their music apart. Sandlot Heroes has amassed an enthusiastic following, coupled with extraordinary radio success, over the past few years as they burst on the scene from Bethlehem, PA. The band had three #1 requested songs on Eastern Pennsylvania's Top-40 station B104 and sold over 20,000 singles of their hit, "Out of My Hands." The band has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in alternative and pop music, Hot Chelle Rae, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Yellowcard, The Ready Set, New Found Glory, Saosin, Hawthorne Heights, Jason Derulo and more. Sandlot Heroes recently returned from a whirlwind run of the U.S. with Honor Society on the Rock the Red Kettle Tour. MTV Buzzworthy recently featured Sandlot Heroes, praising that "their songs are hooky enough to be pop tunes and hard-core enough to be rock songs. Looking ahead, Sandlot Heroes music will be featured on the popular MTV series, "Teen Wolf." The band's debut album, "American Love," is set to be released later this year. Sandlot Heroes is poised for more success, continuing to record and perform, tour the country and add to their growing fan base.
