On February 7th, 2008, BLUDSPYRE will be hitting the million-dollar stage for the third time in 8 months with a line-up like none other. Fort Wayne's top metal acts under one roof in one night.

This show is sponsored by the new music community Jammerdirect.com, Smash Alley Records, and T-Bush Recordings. They are making a compilation CD of the best of the best in the Fort. And they are having concerts every thursday to decide which bands will hold that honor.

On 02/07/08 the bands playing that night are as follows::::

::::SIRFACE:::
Making a name for your self in the Midwest’s fertile rock scene isn’t easy. But Sirface, one of Indiana’s premiere rock bands, has done just that and more. Since their foundation, Sirface have earned a faithful following among rock enthusiasts with their captivating songs and energetic live performances. In 2003 Sirface released their debut independent release “For Reasons Unknown.” The album, which features the hit songs “Try” and “Back for You,” has received rave reviews from many publications, including Whatzup magazine. “Seething with thick guitars and soaring melodies, ‘For Reasons Unknown’ will surely satiate your appetite for nu-metal,” says Jason Hoffman of Whatzup magazine. “For Reasons Unknown” is the result of 6 years of relentless hard work—song writing, traveling and looking for that major label break. “We’ve traveled from coast to coast hoping to play the right spot at the right time” says vocalist Jared. Sirface has been placed on several compilation CD’s. After landing a prized spot on the x102.3fm Extreme Essentials Vol.6 disc in January 2003, Sirface’s song “Try” went straight to .1 on x102.3’s “Alternative 9@9” (the nine most requested songs of the day). “Try” held the .1 spot for several weeks. The success of their first radio hit led into a busy year. After playing the Essentials CD release party, Sirface was invited to play the Mid West Mid Winter Meltdown with Seether, Ra, Socialburn and Noise Therapy. Soon after, they started production on their album “For Reasons Unknown.” In the summer of 2003, Sirface was asked to open a show for The Firm Mngt. with The Revolution Smile and LO-PRO at the infamous Club Ivar in Los Angeles. After returning to Indiana, Sirface was selected to play in the Budweiser True Music battle of the bands. They played two solid shows and won, receiving a cash prize and studio time. In the fall of 2003 Sirface landed another big show with LO-PRO playing with Static-X. A few weeks later “For Reasons Unknown” was released. In December 2003, Sirface was nominated in five categories for the Whatzup magazine people’s choice Awards (a local music awards show held in Fort Wayne, IN. for all of northern Indiana). Sirface won 3 out of the 5 winning Best rock CD release of 2003, best heavy rock performers and best DJ. Sirface was also chosen for 2004’s X102 Essentials Vol.7 compilation CD. They were also included on Volumes 3, 4, and 6. Amongst other nationals in which Sirface has played shows with are Darwins Waiting Room, Dope, Soil and Saliva, Crossfade, 5 speed, Skindred.



::DILATE::
Formed in early 2004. Strong focus on high energy performances and quality songwritting are the building blocks of the Dilate formula. We are just 5 regular dudes who love heavy hard rocking tunes and performing our shows in front of true music fans. We will always try to push ourselves as musicans and work toward presenting the best possible representation or ourselves and our influences. Life as well as music are gifts so we intend to treat them as such. We do not preach, pressure, or try to make up the listeners mind through our music. Every moment something negative occurs to another human being we want to show our friends and family(you the fans) that there is something postive in life and it is okay to embrace those moments. There is not much to do but issue a warning that Dilate is and will continue to be who and what we are day after day, hour after hour with no compromise and certianly no surrender.


::SKELETONCROW::
A band recently formed with former members of Downbreed and other bands. Skeletoncrow has played a good number of shows and have left jaws dropped. With their song "Death Grip" featured on the 12 Bands Before Christmas compilation CD, and numerous people being initiated as fans, Skeleton Crow has come so far in such little time. With Gary Wayne on vocals, Mark Villa on guitar, Lee Garza on drums, and LEROY on bass.




::FLUWID::
FLUWID is a metal band out of Dayton, Ohio. The band's unique sound is the result of a gradual evolution that took place over the past two years. Through hard work and dedication the band has written an incredible amount of original music. Twelve of their best songs have been released on their debut cd HOMESICK. They are currently in the studio working on some exciting new music. While recording is important, the band's emphasis is always on live perfomance and fan appreciation. Fluwid realizes that their success depends on more than talent and hard work. Fans are the most important element in Fluwid music.



and last but certainly not LEAST


::BLUDSPYRE::
Making a unique sound is one challenge many bands face. They always seem to come up short with them being label as a specific sound-alike band. Ever since 2006 Bludspyre has been coming up the ranks with their versatile music sounds ranging from not only one band but from many bands (ex. Pantera, Mudvayne, Tool, Prong, Static X, Korn) Their versatility in their music has left an imprint of metal on the face of Fort Wayne. Fueled by the tormenting screams and eeries pleas of StG, the Dimebag-esque guitars of Tonez, the growling bass from Tank, and the war drums from Porkchop--- this band has managed to survive even the toughest of times. They have had the priviledge of playing many venues in the surrounding area of Fort Wayne and even in Ohio, and they are planning to move further out towards Kentucky (March 6th) and Wisconsin (Feb. 16th)

They will have played with Hellyeah, Bury Your Dead, Nonpoint, and Machinehead, and they are not going to stop.

from Bludspyre

Well, how do I start this off? Oh yeah, Bludspre is finally making headway. I guess selling out works, LOL. No, we have a newer sound, and new member (Porkchop). We are probably expecting a full length CD released in January or February. We are also selling tickets to the 2nd 12 BANDS BEFORE XMAS. This time it will be at the American Legion on Tillman Rd and the tickets are going to be 5 dollars, and that's with bands like Sirface and Descended on the bill, oh yeah, did I mention that we are going o have a national labeled artist headlining the show??? I swear I did, but it's DARK SHIFT. They are so friggin' amazing. It's like Shadowsfall's bastard child from Wisconsin. So contact me or Tim Winchester and we'll see what we can do for you ticketwise.

peace
