Mike Kaminsky - Band manager (Gatsbys American Dream, Meg & Dia, Fear Before the March of Flames, Casey Bates)
1) Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground - Two parts Gatsbys + horns + strings + Sargeant Pepper - scene = An album my folks and I can both geek over!
2) Pierce the Veil - Formerly Before Today, this band re-invented themselves and recorded the best album in their genre. Will come out of nowhere to have the biggest surprise hit in Equal Vision's history.
3) Circa Survive - Does this need an explanation?
4) Portugal. The Man - John G (or is that B?) and crew are going even further than they did last time. I have no idea what this will sound like, but it will be awesome.
5) Armor for Sleep - The guy who produced Filter and Marilyn Manson is working on this album. Im 12 years old again playing this record at 11 trying to drive my parents out of their house at 2 in the morning (this used to really happen all the time).
6) Fall Out Boy - Im a huge geek, I love this band. Their new single reminds me of that Backstreet Boys song where they're all monsters. Do you think all my bands will fire me if I admit to loving that song? Because, uhm, I don't...
7) Danger: Radio - On my list last year, this one will come through. So much potential in this band!
8) Secret Project - Lips are sealed, but take the best musicians in Seattle and have them work on songs influenced by Coldplay and Foo Fighters to get something the whole world will want to talk about in a few months.
9) Eisley - Good enough to name your kids after. Seriously.
10) Thrice - Have yet to fail me, this band always comes through.
BONUS:
11) Rocky Votolato - I don't know if there will be a new one or not, but: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
