Dead Icons sign with Bullet Tooth Records
Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the worldwide signing of Dead Icons. Dead Icons is a hardcore band from Lexington, Kentucky and has been a band for about two and a half years. They weren't from a prominent city in the hardcore scene, didn't have a friend in a popular hardcore band, or have any members of any past notable bands. So instead of giving up, they set out to achieve their goals by sheer hard work and continuing to push through when times got tough and most bands would back out. The band started from members of several local bands who shared the same dream of being able to tour, and at the end of 2008 they decided to pursue their dream and released a six song demo. Shortly after this, and after a few of the members either graduated high school or dropped everything they were doing, the band completed a self booked full U.S. tour. A few months after the demo came out, Dead Icons put out five songs on a split CD with a band called Unrestrained (VT). After the release of t...

Misfits announce Australian tour
In 1977, the dawn of punk, the Misfits were born. This year, over three decades later, they descend on Australia, with a legacy of musical history that has withstood the test of time. The Misfits hit up Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide in November / December. From inception, the Misfits were primal.

Immortalizing black and white horror films in their music, the Misfits developed a ghoulish and totally unique persona. It was the early days of anarchy and they had created a rebellion all of their own. The Misfits have endured hardcore’s heyday as punk rock’s monster squad, a band whose cult following – a coven known as the Fiend Club – inspired them to continue to write, record and tour. Influential rock peers Guns ‘n Roses, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Hatebreed, NoFX and Sick Of It All, are amongst some who have offered musi...
