well i know a lot of people are critical when it comes to upcoming bands. but one of my friend from Fontana told me about this new band called The New Rivals. I know that they're a NY based band that was just signed. But they sound pretty good! Sort of a mix between Rise Against and Hot Water Music.
If you want go to their website, http://www.myspace.com/thenewrivals and check out some of their tracks.

I know some of you may not like it, but everything's worth a listen to...ehhhhhhhhhh?
