Sophomore (www.purevolume.com/sophomore)- This band will be huge someday. They kick ass at what they do, and they're also from St. Louis.
Westcott (www.purevolume.com/westcott)- St. Louis again. Metal influenced riffs and very powerful vocals really hit your ears hard. These dudes are drawing a lot of label attention so look into them because you'll be hooked immediately.
So They Say (http://www.myspace.com/sotheysay)- Duel melodies and kickass instrumentals. They're one of those bands who are pretty agressive and hard, but not quite. I love it. St. Louis really has a scene that nobody knows about. Look into that shit.
Adair (http://www.purevolume.com/adair)- Another St Louis band. Pretty rough stuff, super solid melodies and what not. If you dig the screamo stuff, these guys pull it off well, even though the trend seems to be dying.
The Lifestyle (http://www.purevolume.com/thelifestyle) - A lot of people say these guys are an "Early November ripoff", and I can understand where they're coming from, but I really think this band will find itself and grow into something distinct and incredible. Check them out if you haven't already.

Junction 18 (http://www.purevolume.com/junction18) / Over it (http://www.purevolume.com/overit) Acoustic Split – What could be better than two awesome bands doing an acoustic?
Over it – Worry Bomb (http://www.topnotchrec.com/worrybomb_acoustic.mp3)
Junction 18 – June and the Ocean (http://www.topnotchrec.com/j18juneandtheocean.mp3)
The New Amsterdams (http://www.purevolume.com/thenewamsterdams) – Matthew Pryor is a modern day King Midas, and not the king of fixing brakes. The last New Amsterdams cd, The Worse
Park (http://www.purevolume.com/park) – It’s been proven that bald frontmen have the greatest bands, Park is no exception. It Wont Snow Where You Are Going is one of my favorite albums and their debut isn’t far behind.
Mineral (http://www.crankthis.com/mineral.html) – Before cutting wrist and black eyes there was Mineral. The now defunct band put out one of the first emo albums and arguably the best emo album. With songs like Gloria, Parking lot and Slower, how could you not be a fan?
Liberated Vision Clothing (http://www.liberatedvision.com) – Some of the coolest shirt designs I have seen in my young life.
