Heights
Bands like heights come along every so often, and like most music you'll either love it or hate it.  People tried predicting the end of the world randomly, so my prediction may be bold and prove to be wrong, but I do not think so.  Heights is going to be big, not in a billboard charts kind of way, but in the way Converge are.  I am officially hailing them the second coming of Christ... Converge.

Dead Ends is a masterful debut cd, it mixes hardcore, with post hardcore,  and smashes both.  There some absolute gems of a moment in these tracks, times where hardcore isn't supposed to have such epic music and when post hardcore shouldn't be so brutal.  It goes beyond those genres though and really stands on its own amongst its current peers.  Buy this

The Body Rampant
California's The Body Rampant should be taken seriously. This band will undoubtedly be lumped into the 'scene', unfairly however.  They write catchy songs, intertwined with careful technicality.  I say careful as their parts add to the song's appeal instead of just exist in it. Without any doubt this band will be popping up on various tours in the near future.  Get onboard so you're not late to the party.
