Against Me! -
Gainesville's incredible folk/punk bringing you the passionate
sing-a-long's.   "http://www.xbxrx.com">xbxrx - Completely insane punk rock
that you can totally get your dance on to! 
Majority Rule - Probably
one of the best bands on the face of the earth and hands down
some of the coolest guys ever. 
Plastic Mastery -
Hailing from Tallahassee, FL., The Plastic Mastery plays what'd
fall into the whole twee/indie pop genre… but really, that's
unimportant. Check this band out if you aren't already familiar
with them, because you don't want to be the only kid there not
getting your dance on. If you want to see a band that makes Mr.
Richard Barnocky really shake his ass, this is
it. 
Books On Tape -
Electronic punk influenced awesomeness.  I like to
think of it as if the Pixies enjoyed themselves a healthy dose of
2003 with some hip hop beats and started using electronic
equipment. But all the while, keeping it original and fun… and
the illest jams that cover coast-to-coast. If you're an
old-schooler, you'll remember this man from his performance at
Magic Fest '01.  And its even better now. Go figure!
Educate yourself with the new "http://deathbombarc.com/">record or some mp3s from his
website.  But… "http://deathbombarc.com/">Throw Down Your Laptops is
something serious.
Kylesa - This band from
Savannah, GA is comprised of ex members of Damad and Cobra Kai,
and where you may hear those influences, this band can more than
stand on its own.  They're an awesome punk band with
a very prominent metal influence.   "http://www.dispensingoffalsehalos.com">Dispensing of False
Halos - Melodic metal from Iowa. This band
rules. 
Kodan
Armada/Crying VS. Caring -  Kodan Armada are from
Louisville, KY and probably the coolest dudes on the face of the
earth.  Me and three of the KY boys crammed 15 people
into a small hotel room during the first magic fest. 
Boy, do I have some swell memories of these guys.  Oh
yeah- they play very passionate and intense screamy hardcore and
their singer is Czech pop sensation Cory Popp. 
Crying VS. Caring is K.A.'s singer, Dan, doing his solo
thing.  And it is not trite singer/songwriter crap.
It's good!   "http://www.creamabdulbabar.com">Cream Abdul Babar -
Tallahassee's masters of noisy punk.   
Mannequin -
Damn this band is good. If you're thinking Nirvana, Melvins,
Karp, you're pretty close.  It features some
ex-members of a band that played both magic fests. A band we all
love.
"http://www.magicbulletrecords.com/bands.html#crestfallen">Crestfallen
- awesome thrashy punk played by kids with some serious
heart.  These dudes blew me away at Magic Fest '01
and then again last summer at the OBT warehouse. 
They were great to begin with, but have gotten 100 times
better.  
I Would Set Myself On Fire
For You - This melodic screamy hardcore band hails from
Atlanta, GA.  I've heard so many good things about
their live show and I can't hardly wait to witness it.
Carrie Nations - Great
sing-a-long pop punk from Athens! Actually, not great, but
incredible. Their full-length, Be Still, is one of the best
records to have come out this year. And last year and any year,
really.
Reactionary Three - R3 are one of the best bands I've
heard in a long time.  They play awesome screamy punk
rock.   Blue
Eyed Boy Mister Death - is an awesome band from
Alabama.  Punk rock, hardcore, whatever. They're
somewhere here but not there.  There is a song on
their website to scope out!
"http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/505/revengetherapy.html">Revenge
Therapy - Awesome dudes playing fast pissed of punk
rock/hardcore.  From Virginia (so you know its
good.)
"http://www.twentysevenrecords.com/kiteflyingsociety/">Kite
Flying Society - Orlando's sweethearts.  When
they're not "Keeping '95 Alive," they're catering
parties. 
The South -
The South hails from St. Augustine and just
destroys.  They play very fast punk rock with a great
message and passion.   "http://www.newmexicandisastersquad.com">New Mexican Disaster
Squad - Orlando's pride and joy.  NMDS are an
old-school influenced punk rock band with a very original touch.
This is THE band.
Airoes - One man dance attack. If merzbow got his hip
hop on, then it'd be Airoes.
Tyranny of Shaw -
Awesome fast thrashy killer dudes from Miami. They are going to
be splitting their set with their friends in Adore Miridia.
The Holy Mountain - Fast punk influenced hardcore from
Tampa. members of the combatwoundedveterinarians or
something. 
The K10 Prospect - are from Bloomington,
Indiana.  The intense heaviness of Tragedy with the
tech mess of The Fucking Champs with some great vocals
reminiscent of Husker Du. I am excited to see these dudes bring
it.
The Color of
Violence - Featuring everyone's friend, Chad Crews, this band
is bringing some seriously heavy sounds.  Very fast,
very loud.   "http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/490/fromfirsttolast.html">From
First to Last - FFTL is basically COV minus Chad Crews
playing some great angular pop punk with an edge.   A
Game Of You - Everyone wishes they were in a band as good as this
when they were these kids' ages.  A great up and
coming band from Lake Mary/Daytona.   "http://www.carnie-productions.com">The Traveling Carnies -
And for something completly different, local independent sketch
comedy heroes will perform a short set of skits for you all.
Check these guys out, they're the real deal when it comes to no
hold's barred comedy.
"http://100mbit.hexxxen.net/closedcasketdiary/cd/">Closed Casket
Diary - little Orlando dudes playing serious metal influenced
hardcore.
What's Yr
Damage? - Well this is my band. I know you're all
thinking "haha that dude put his own band on the fest." OK you're
right… haha. We bring fun to a new level.
Dead Bird - This is the best thing on earth. Seriously.
Better than best.
Baby Dracula - Surf goth
punk. It's hot!
