• Moutheater •

After two EPs, a sold out split with Vegas, a full-length that never made it onto wax and some lineup changes on the way, Virginia's Moutheater have returned with a sound of heavy and dirty punk with the heavy riffage of The Melvins, weirdness of Jesus Lizard and speed and intensity of Black Flag.

• Down To Nothing •
|
Down To Nothing started from humble beginnings in 2000. Around that time, local Richmond VA favorites Count Me Out and Time Flies found themselves at the tail end of their careers, making Down To Nothing the perfect fit to fill the void of the two fallen heroes. Like most young bands, DTN's expectations didn't go much further than a little touring and releasing a record. After putting out their first full-length, "Save It For The Birds" in 2003, DTN knew they were bound for more.

• Punchout •
|
Formed in 2005, these guys are one of those band where they just keep getting better every time they play out. With members scrawl all over Richmond and Virginia Beach, they still manage to get together and share their love for all things hardcore. They play a no bullshit style of hardcore that would appeal to those moshing to Madball, Terror, and Biohazard.

Everyone's favorite bastard sons of the Virginia Beach. They blend of traditional New York Hardcore like Agnostic Front crashing head on into the sounds of brutality as created by the likes of Infest, and Crossed Out. Members have since moved on to form Kingshead.

• Victim •
|
Hailing from the burgeoning hardcore mecca of Virginia Beach, Victim arrive with their distinct brand of NYHC to destroy everything in its path. Featuring members of Iron Boots, Victim is the last gasp of the sound that made the average man on the street cringe - throaty vocals, blazing guitar riffs and enough energy and power to drive anyone off their couch and into the streets. Taking two parts Agnostic Front and heavy doses of Carnivore, Krakdown, and Altercation, Victim's sound is not for the weak. Look for these guys to be canvassing the northeast with their destructive brand of hardcore and see why if Iron Boots put Virginia Beach on the map, Victim takes it off the wall and knocks you over the head with it!

This isn't something you would find normally to be on a Last Anthem roster but make no mistake we were stoked to help out our fellow buddies as they prepared to for their tour with Calling The Paramedic. Blast beats, fast guitar riffs, a singer who doesn't mind bleeding all over stage...this is what you can expect to find here. Featured members of Love.Lies.Bleeding (remember them?)
