Fueled by the fire to push the boundaries of modern rock music, SIDEWISE invokes the innermost raw emotions of their listeners, pushing and pulling at all ends of the acoustic spectrum while flowing seamlessly from polished and infatuating hooks to bone crushing riffs and heart pounding beats.
With an energetic and captivating live performance that is unmatched in the the midwest, this 5 piece powerhouse has successfully conquered over 600 captivating live performances since their formation in 2001. SIDEWISE has shared the stage with the likes of Slipknot, Hinder, Hatebreed, Anthrax, Taproot, Saving Abel, Fall Out Boy, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Five Finger Death Punch, Sevendust, Shinedown, 36 CrazyFists, Powerman 5000, Flaw, Les Claypool, Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Bobaflex, Cold, Machine Head and Life of Agony.
In a completely self-sufficient fashion, SIDEWISE has released 3 full length albums and 2 DVD/EP's, which have won numerous regional rock awards. Their latest release, "CHAPTERS", dropped in February of 2012. SIDEWISE is continuing to reach new professional levels, welcoming any new opportunities on the horizon with an unparalleled passion and energetic enthusiasm. All signs are clearly pointing towards a prosperous 2012 for this dominating, up and coming band.
Formed in early 2006 and jumping straight into 3 club tours in Australia in 12 months as well as a club tour in the UK, Death & Desire has been deadly serious about their live performances from the beginning. Extensive promotion and radio support for some early demos led to a contract with indy label Kikstart Records a few years later. Unfortunately some external corruption and theft pulled the rug out from underneath KikStart, and the band made the choice to finish their full length debut themselves. Armed with the same work ethic and intensity they apply to their live shows, and the formidable production expertise of Trevor LaChapelle, they created an album with depth and engagement. It's one that plays well as singles, with 2 or 3 very strong radio rock songs, but it also steers the listener back to the lost concept of listening to a full album. The Army Marches is expected to perform well in most rock radio markets. The band didn't take any breaks after finishing the mixing and mastering process, but jumped right into filming a music video for their first single, "The Let Down." The album will be available online by mid second quarter, and the music video will follow shortly after. A string of midwest shows accompany their invitation to Cornerstone Festival in July, and the fall will be filling up quickly as they book venues on a midwest circuit.
