Miss May I is a melodic death metal/metalcore band hailing from Troy, Ohio. The band has been around since 2006, playing local shows and steadily gathering a loyal fan base. In 2007, they released their first EP, Vows for a Massacre which contained five songs. 2008 saw the release of their demo EP, Demo 2008. On December 6, 2008, the band posted a blog on their myspace stating that they had signed to Rise Records and soon after released their debut album Apologies Are For The Weak which reached #29 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers. Not long after, then-bassist Josh Gillispie announced his departure from the band, and was replaced by Ryan Neff, formerly of Rose Funeral. On August 17th 2010, they released their second album, Monument. The album received excellent critical reception, and the album was toured extensively. On 20th June 2011, they released a Deluxe version of Monument featuring the original tracks, 3 new ones, a B-Side, music videos, interviews, live performances and more.
We Came As Romans is a modern metalcore band formed in 2005. Hailing from Troy, Michigan, We Came As Romans are pushing the envelope, combining influences such as the intertwined singing/screaming vocals of Underoath, the theatrical, orchestra-infused metal of Chiodos, the crushing breakdowns of The Devil Wears Prada and the positive lyrics of August Burns Red on their debut Equal Vision release, To Plant A Seed. Their second album, Understanding What We've Grown to Be, released in September 2011 featured a darker tone than their previous album while still maintaining the band's overall theme of positivity and brotherhood. They announced that they will be releasing their third album titled Tracing Back Roots on July 23, 2013.
Signed to Equal Vision Records (announced April 16th) after being named Alternative Press’ “Best Unsigned Band” early 2009.
