The Holly Springs Disaster:
It all started for the Holly Springs Disaster in early 2006 and by 2007, when the band released a monumental EP titled “Motion Sickness Love” it was full speed ahead. The band toured across Canada numerous times with each show getting bigger, louder and crazier as they went. Fans started to recognize the band when they would roll into town on an old mini bus customized for the boys with smoke billowing out the windows. That developed into fans recognizing the band rolling into town because of sold out show posters and lineups at every venue. Summer of 2009 saw the band ready to head into the studio to begin recording their follow up record, this didn’t come to be though and after a long hiatus and searching for a singer the band decided to call it a day. THSD are excited to finish off their career the way it began. Epic, loud, in your face mosh pits and bloody noses. This will be the final tour for one of Canada’s biggest bands in their genre. Sure to see the scene die after they leave they are doing this one for the fans. Check out the young but legendary Michael Froh, Tony Davalos, Josh Guillaume, Dan Marranca and Andy Foord one final time this summer with their good friends Architects.

Architects:
Formed in Brighton, England in 2004, Architects have spent their time together focused on the things that really matter for an upcoming band: the music, the songs and the killer riffs. Drawn together by a love of heavy metal, noise and hardcore, Architects have made a considerable name for themselves, drawing attention from various global publications including being referred to as the “Future of British metal” by Kerrang Magazine. The quintet have left audiences internationally astounded and practically frothing at the mouth with their jaw dropping technical proficiency and undeniable songwriting stones. This will be showcased yet again as the band begins the Cool Tour (As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between the Buried and Me, Acacia Strain, Bless the Fall, Cancer Bats) in July across the US. Architects are currently in the studio recording the follow up to their 2009 release “Hollow Crown.” This marks the fourth studio album for the band. See them back in Canada (FINALLY!!) this summer when they come across the country co-headlining with The Holly Springs Disaster beginning August 3.
Structures:
STRUCTURES is a five piece progressive/hardcore band hailing from Toronto, Ontario. Having formed in early 2009, the band released a five song EP titled 'ALL OF THE ABOVE'. STRUCTURES is a group of five talented musicians who strive to create ground breaking, earth shattering technical, melodic hardcore-metal. Starting to turn a lot of heads in the Canadian scene and quickly spreading to the US; STRUCTURES will surely be one of the next breakout metal bands of the year.
The music STRUCTURES delivers demonstrates their diversity as a band as they shatter the listener's psyche with pure aggression, but don't be fooled, as they may also appear to slow time through their surprisingly strong melodies. STRUCTURES maintains a strong work ethic combined with a positive outlook on the music industry, including a strong focus on maintaining a highly energetic live performance, leaving a memorable impression and personal touch on every audience member. The bar is set high, STRUCTURES will conquer all!
