STAGGERED WORKS presents:

ROSETTA
Philadelphia, PA / Translation Loss / Rosetta, hailing from Philadelphia, was formed in 2003 with Michael Armine on vocals and samples, David Grossman on bass, Bruce McMurtrie, Jr., on drums, and J. Matthew Weed on guitar and violin. Rosetta, with their 2005 double debut, "The Galilean Satelites", are pushing the boundaries of music by combining gleaming ambience with crunching sludge riffs for a truly unique way of creating post-metal. They have cited Neurosis and Isis as a main influence.

JEKYLNHYDE
Doylestown, PA / spastic intelligent metal inspired by the likes of Mike Patton, the Dillinger Escape Plan, the Melvins, Hella, Big Business, Fantomas, etc. With the recent addition of Josh (No People, Destroying the Machine), their sound has been rounded out to near perfection. A slue of new songs, various label interest and a fierce hunger to be road dogs, these guys are ready for anything.

MOVING MOUNTAINS
New York / "Amalgamation. Expansive. Juxtaposition. Tryst. Myriad. These are just a few words that are often used by critics to describe artists that can effectively flex themselves across a wide range of musical ideas. With arguably so much more mixing, criss-crossing and experimentation going on than ever before, it seems almost as if a new style or sub-genre of rock is invented daily. Enter Moving Mountains." | Decoy Music

POMPEII
Austin, TX / Eyeball Records / "One of our favorite bands on Eyeball Records, the underrated distributor of bright and nearly brilliant acts that will probably never get the recognition they deserve, is Pompeii. It's simple and special indie in the vein of Death Cab For Cutie, and 2006's Assembly saw a gentle but persistent following, especially among critics. On "Numbers," the mourning cello and muffled snare snap the listener into a sort of hypnotic glare. Pompeii not only entertains but also creates moods and feelings that dictate how each track and tone can journey a soul. Assembly available through Eyeball Records." -ABSOLUTEPUNK.NET

SPECTRAL EMPIRE
Doylestown, PA / If you really want to experience what we have to offer come see us live. It's worth it. We put emotion, energy, heart and passion into every note we play. Being in this band is about playing the music we like and having fun. We are 4 dudes who like to rock. That's what we do. That's all we want to do.
