SEPTEMBER IS FALLING - AMARANTH
AMARANTH, SEPTEMBER IS FALLING's second full-length LP, stands as a testment to the band's youthful charisma, extraordinary raw talent, and prodigious song writing ability. , perfectly encapsulating and uniting the disparate anxieties of today's enraged youth through an entourage of catchy guitar riff madness and an onslaught of strong, insightful, political yet playful lyrics. Whether it be the chorus of "I wish i could" begging listeners to rewind a heavy dosage of awe-inspiring accappella gang vocals, or the verse of 'a bullet for every nation' infecting sonic record-high meltdowns, this disc undoubtedly serves to redefine a new generation of aware, active, and romantic youth.
SEPTEMBER IS FALLING's AMARANTH is, without doubt, "one of the most unique, most incredible flowers the post-hardcore movement will ever bloom."

SEPTEMBER IS FALLING - SELF-TITLED
September is Falling's debut (self-titled) cd celebrates raw technical proficiency, striking arrangement, and hard-hitting lyrical melody through a fusion of punk, scream, and hardcore influences. Alan Douches, notable for his involvement with Strike Anywhere and Hot Water Music, explains how this incredible record "makes even the most seasoned player jealous, and a little sick--just thinking about how talented these guys are at such an early age." Alan mastered this rock metal masterpiece at his Tenasly, New Jersey studio in February, 2004. The premier track on this intense album, 'Cry For Me Please', has been heralded by many as the 'emo solution': a track so unique, and so innovative that it will change and influence the face of hard music for years to come.

SUMMER OF '92 - BULLET
Summer of 92s premier CD release, entitled BULLET, explodes on impact, leaving a mark of deliciously memorable music, feeling, and power. Bullet's first track, "Prayers in Vegas", debuted on Toronto's 102.1 EDGE, and was exclusively chosen to be listed (amongst such notables as Dallas Green and Alexisonfire) on the SCENE FEST 2005 compilation CD. Since its release, "Bullet" has worked tirelessly--propelling Summer of '92 into the stratosphere as one of the leading acoustic hardcore bands in the scene. With tracks such as "This song is a bullet", working to completely dominate even the most hardcore listener (using some of the lowest and most ominous sonic acoustic frequencies available), and the infectious "Prayers in Vegas", a 'drive your car through a fucking desert at night' whisky anthem, it is no wonder that Dan Sutherland proclaims of summer of '92 in Canada's Exclaim!magazine that "hardcore can be played with only an acoustic guitar and all of your heart."
