Valient Thorr is a band whose Venusian spacecraft landed in Greenville, North Carolina, USA, forming in 2001. Soon after they relocated to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA so they could fix their spaceship quicker.

On July 1, 2003 Valient Thorr self-released their first album (only pressing 1000 copies which were sold at shows), Stranded on Earth, which had the same musical setup as present, but one of their guitarists (Djinn Thorr) used a keyboard, which helped to bring dance elements into their music. This aspect of their music not only further influenced their legendary live shows, but helped to cement their local status as the ultimate live band, with packed hometown shows at local favorite venue Kings Barcade (located in downtown Raleigh, NC). They toured the United States and Canada shortly afterward, doing 47 shows in 52 days.

After replacing original drummer (Donn Thorr) with current drummer Lucian Thorr and ditching the keyboard entirely live and on release, they were soon signed to Volcom Entertainment, where their full-length album Total Universe Man was released on June 7, 2005. At that point, the group members gave up their regular jobs, which ranged from 6th grade teachers to pornshop workers, and set out on the road. They performed on the Volcom stage on the Warped Tour 2005, for the entire tour, except for a few shows where they played the main stage. They continued touring, taking six days off for Thanksgiving and ten for Christmas. Along the way, they lost their original rhythm guitarist (Djinn Thorr) and replaced him with Bjorn Thorr before going on tour with Hot Rod Circuit and Piebald.

Electric)Noise(Machine is a "dead pop" experimental project that thrives on heavy, intense and energetic music. Built on a bass/drums relationship and driven by powerful vocals and electronic arrangements, it's rock, it's noise, it's punk!   The few instruments are put to maximal effect to leave lasting marks on your eardrums. More than a band, E)N(M is a machine.   The band is used to the roughest stages which they have shared in very good company (Tweak Bird, Retox, And So I Watch You From Afar, Red Fang….).

COILGUNS is a nightmare from Switzerland, an aggression in all respects that takes form of a quartet impossible to deal with on stage and fueled by influences such as Breach, Terra Tenebrosa, Knut and almighty Converge. With two suffocating albums, "Commuters" and "Millenials", alonside with crazy shows accorss Europe litterally pushing the audience, COILGUNS succeeded in competing with its brilliant fellow countrybands Knut, Nostromo and Kruger.
