hails from Sacramento, California. Known for their powerful hooks and
anthem lyrics, CATHERINE's music has inspired many to change their scene.

over-saturated and generic genre. Listen to the music, and you'll be sure
to find yourself pleasantly surprised at the originality and intensity
that is CATHERINE. Listen to a couple of tracks here: purevolume.com

Dead, Gorgeous - in vogue - CD Rise041
DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS delivers their mammoth full
length entitled, IN VOGUE. The follow up to BE MINE, VALENTINE, which
happened to be RISE RECORDS best first week seller. IN VOGUE is a beast.
Recorded by upstart producer Kris Crummett (Fear Before the March of Flames,
Anatomy of a Ghost), IN VOGUE captures the bands raw energy and musical
wizardry. Musically gifted beyond their years, DD,G plays screamo/hardcore/metal
with the best of them. These kids aren't even in their twenties. In fact,
3 members will be taking their GED so they can be a full time band. The
official kick off to full time band mode will be June 7th, just in time

the March of Flames and the Bled. Listen to a couple of tracks

Ten
Falls Forth - excuse me, I believe that's my ride - CD Rise040
A debut record can be a bit tricky. Not quite knowing oneself completely,
trying to find identity and originality. In this day and age, originality
is a rare breed. Some bands try a little too hard at trying to be original.
So much in fact, it comes across as cliché. TEN
FALLS FORTH aren't trying to be original and groundbreaking, they're
not trying to redefine music. They play music that comes out natural,
totally unforced. What they accomplish is raw yet heartfelt rock music.
That is what they do. Listen to a couple of tracks here: purevolume.com
For fans of FALL OUT BOY, BRAND NEW, HOT WATER MUSIC and GRADE.
Drop
Dead, Gorgeous - be mine, valentine - CDep Rise039

the iceberg. Spring time plans include the release of their debut full
length, booking tours and taking the GED. For fans of Norma Jean, Fear
Before the March of Flames and the Bled. Listen to a couple of tracks

Paint
By Numbers - plastic - CD Rise037
Not just another paint by numbers band,
PAINT BY NUMBERS is a mock of everything you think the name is
derived from. Breaking the molds and forging ahead in a sea of plastic
bands, these five guys deserve the attention they are getting. Selling
out of their first EP and touring all year round makes them not the cut
above, but the highest cut around. The genuine camaraderie of the band
and the great appreciation of the fans is to envy. Battling the traditional
genres and sounds from the northwest, Paint By Numbers is devoted to doing
things their way. For fans of: Jimmy Eat World, Acceptance, Matchbook
Romance, the Ataris and Taking back Sunday. Listen to a couple of tracks

Five
Minute Ride - the world needs convincing... - CDep Rise034
Five Minute Ride plays music. They play it with passion and sincerity.
With the sudden passing of a beloved band member, the band managed to
endure. It's always been more than music, now even more than ever. The
band put together this EP with a lot on their minds. They managed to harness
this feeling in the studio with legendary producer Kurt Ballou. The outcome
is a breath taking venture into the minds and souls of a group of genuine
human beings. Akin to UnderOath, Fear Before The March of Flames and the
Blood Brothers. Listen to a couple of tracks here: purevolume.com

has paid off. Their debut full length entitled the dance riot
is their crowning achievement. They somehow manage to harness their live
energy on CD unlike so many bands. We'll let the music speak for itself.

Sunday. Listen to songs at purevolume.com

be in 2005. The labels have been shed (post-hardcore, emo, screamo), the
walls knocked down in one swift kick on this new release that will leave
you standing, possibly speechless, at what appears to be an effortless
explosion of the senses. All emotions on display, all truths questioned,
and the power-elite on trial. It will be in stores on Jan. 25,
2005. Listen to a couple of tracks here: purevolume.com
