TONIGHT ALIVE (AUS)
TRANSIT (USA)
GAVIN BUTLER (The Blackout) (UK)
Tonight Alive is a five-piece pop punk band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2008, and having played alongside artists such as Anberlin, Simple Plan, We Are The In Crowd and Never Shout Never, they have sold more than 20,000 copies of their self-funded debut EP, All Shapes and Disguises (released June 2010) solely in Australia and Japan. In November 2010, they released a 3-track EP Consider This and began their national headline tour with Australian band Sienna Skies.
In early 2011 the band traveled to Los Angeles to record their debut album What Are You So Scared Of? with producer Mark Trombino (Blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, The Starting Line)[1] before returning to Australia to tour throughout February to support The Getaway Plan on their Australian tour.
Tonight Alive have been listed as one of the top 10 Australian bands of all time on rock radio station KROQ in the US.
In April 2011 Tonight Alive was part of the The Bamboozle festival, sharing the stage with acts such as New Found Glory, Thrice, and The Downtown Fiction. The band played the entire Warped Tour 2012 in the United States.

Transit
The band’s prolific output is also impressive by any measure, having put out seven releases over the last four years. Transit’s highly acclaimed LP, “Keep This To Yourself”, released in August 2010 on Run For Cover Records, inspired ABSOLUTEPUNK to rave: “Good luck keeping Transit’s passionate and infectious tunes a secret. Once you hear the first chords of opener “Dear Anyone,” you’ll immediately go out and tell all your friends about the best pop-punk album of 2010.” Transit also released an acoustic EP, “Something Left Behind” in February and a limited edition Record Store Day 7”, “Promise Nothing”, was released this past spring and sold out in advance. ALTERNATIVE PRESS, in a glowing review of “Promise Nothing”, praised the band’s meteoric creative growth, comparing them to Jimmy Eat World and Moneen.
Named one of the “Bands To Watch in 2011” by ALTERNATIVE PRESS, Transit has played throughout North America and overseas alongside Four Year Strong, The Wonder Years, Less Than Jake, Bayside, Man Overboard, Senses Fail and many others. The band—whose members also include Torre Cioffi (guitars), PJ Jefferson (bass) and Daniel Frazier (drums)—has just finished tracking its first full-length on Rise Records, LISTEN & FORGIVE. The album, which ALTERNATIVE PRESS just named as one of the “Top 20 Must-Hear Fall 2011 Releases”, is set to drop in the US and around the world in early October.
To mark the release of LISTEN & FORGIVE, Transit will be touring this Fall around the US with Saves The Day, Bayside and I Am The Avalanche, before heading to the UK and Europe in December with Title Fight and Balance and Composure. From that point onwards, fans can expect to see the band touring extensively around the globe throughout 2012 and beyond.
