The Word Alive announce new drummer
The Word Alive have announced that Luke Holland has now joined the band on drums, replacing Justin Salinas, who quit the band back in January.  The band's front man Telle Smith posted the following statement about the line up change: "When we ended our year of touring in 2011 we didn't realize those were the last shows TWA would play as a 6-piece. Shortly into the New Year we discussed the album and plans for 2012 with Dusty our keyboard player, which led to him deciding to part ways as touring wasn't his main goal any longer. About a month later Justin informed us that his heart wasn't in touring and progressing at his instrument (drums) any longer. We were completely understanding of both situations and as always, decided to move forward and find the best person to join the TWA family.

Rise Records signs Crown The Empire
Dallas, TX's Crown The Empire have signed with Rise Records. Details for their debut full-length will be announced shortly. Crown The Empire is a 7-piece band from Dallas TX. Starting in 2010, the band set out with a goal to separate themselves in a genre often cluttered with copy-cat bands. They combined their love for the hardcore genre with infectious, loud, and powerful choruses of generations before their own, and ultimately created a fresh new approach to heavier music. Combined with an equal drive to connect with every last one of their fans, they hope to use whatever notoriety they receive to spread a simple message of belief in yourself, and hope in others. Their debut EP "Limitless" released in November of 2011 furthers this idea of zero boundaries on what you're capable of, and has even spawned the name for their fans: "The Limitless."
