Dying in Vain

Dear Matthew...

About Me

Formed in 2001, after playing countless garage and backyard shows, they finally got some recognition in 2003-2004 due to their catchy punk rock music and demos circulated throughout high schools. They progressively got more members, more songs, and more respect as they turned South Jersey on its deaf ear with a different music they had not yet embraced. The Rest is history.
"Dying In Vain in my opinion is probably the best band around here in their style of music. I also really like the fact that they are doing their own thing in a town that frowns upon anything that isn't (Hardcore). I think Dying In Vain will truly make it somewhere big and will have my support all the way to the top. LABELS...SIGN THIS BAND."

Wow that show sucked!

That overly anticipated March 3rd Show was a real disappointment. We sucked! My vocals sounded like crap and the speakers were blown (or at least sounded like it). I'm not gonna make any excuses for o...
