Abraham Backfur

Abraham Backfur is a group of rambunctious students from UVM who are redefining the genre "sophisticated punk". They rock their crowds out of comas and into a world where rock and roll rules as supreme law. Gerard Williams (CA), Adam Gero (VT), Ish McDonald (MN) and Felipe Gallego (CT) found out that although they came from four very different places and rocked in four very different ways, all agreed there was only one way to truly play rock: Get the crowd raging so hard they can't get out of bed the next day. A guaranteed show that forces you to leave your baggage at the door and wake the f**k up.

Rush Angel

Rush Angel was formed in mid- 2006 in Bristol, Vermont. Influenced by everything around them, they take Pop-Punk and Punk-Rock and compose original material with a unique sound, while maintaining their Pop-Punk roots.

Rush Angel has been working hard on the writing process of a handful of brand new songs, and they have now added them to their live set list, so enjoy!

Rush Angel is currently gathering the means to hit the studio one more time with the new material and some of the old as well, to record another new EP, and possibly a Full Length soon after.

Lendway
http://www.myspace.com/lendwaymusic

Lendway is rock band embedded with pop sensibility that utilizes the character charm of rich vocal harmonies and tasteful sound scapes. Lead vocalist/guitarist Mike Clifford and lead guitarist/vocalist Matt Hagen are seasoned songwriters who have collaborated to build an extensive repertoire of original music. Mike's experience with self-engineering and production is evident through his passionately controlled voice and tonal guitar minimalism. The coloring of Matt Hagen's guitar work resonates a dominate presence with sweeping melodic signatures that gently bend tangible qualities into a flourishing listen. Lending his own unique compositions to the band is bassist/vocalist Kevin Lynam whose background in jazz and eclectic rock make way for a palatable low end. While drummer/vocalist Todd Gevry is well versed in just about every genre of music, he defines his style in rock and pop through a solid foundation of warm playing, tasteful craftsmanship and the heightened ability to complement dynamics and textures with those of his own.

The Unrehearsed

Formerly "Jessie Leigh and the Unrehearsed", Jessie Leigh decided to conserve energy and share the limelight with her fellow band mates. They were formed at Johnson State College in 2006 by drummer Kyle “Monster” Reardon, former bassist Erik VonGeldern and “Singer/Songwrecker” Jessie Leigh Albright. Joined soon after by lead guitarist Steve “Short Shorts” Audy, the original line-up was complete. VonGeldern left the band and moved to Boston after an explosive argument and fist fight caused by the severity of egos and over exposure of Audy’s legs. But they’re still close friends while Erik continues studio work for the Unrehearsed’s next album to be released in May 2009. In need of a bassist, The Unrehearsed sought out the talents of world renowned musician, Axel Handy. With the well blended talents of The Unrehearsed, there’s a guarantee that you’ll have a great time and a chance that someone may lose their pants...
