Donnybrook

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Donnybrook brings an old-school, in-your-face style that has drawn comparisons to Madball, Death Threat, and District 9. The group was formed in early 2003 by six friends who were fed up with the insincerity plaguing the scene they grew up loving and believing in. With their debut four-song EP now out on 1917 Records, coupled with their plans to tour both the East and West coasts (and soon after, the world!), and you'll see why Donnybrook is poised to thrust themselves into the mix with hardcore's heaviest hitters.

Clobberin' Time

CLOBBERIN TIME was founded back in 2003 directly after the demise of Copykill. The three remaining members (Chris Mattheis – vocals, Sascha Hemig – guitar and Stephan Winter – drums) decided to create a new, rough and hard in-your-face hardcore band combining old school hardcore with heavy tunes and hard mosh.
The band recruited Oliver Sarkander for the open slot on bass guitar and after a few rehearsals the first songs were ready to be recorded. Finally the band released their first six song demo entitled „Death Comes Ripping demo 03“ with an limited issue of 250 copies.

Arbiter

There are at least two bands using this name:
1) Arbiter is a metal band known for their clear-cut mix of many types of metal and hardcore music. From dark, brooding elements to nearly humorous passages, Arbiter's music truly spans the spectrum. Arbiter formed in late 2009 and in late 2010 the band had self-recorded and self-released 'Colossus', their critically acclaimed debut album. Only a year later and Arbiter has landed aboard Famined Records and will soon unleash their sophomore effort 'Ironclad/Machinations', a "split-album" that explores the concept of having two sides to one story.
