Homeroom in Worcester, Massachusetts has never been the same since YOUTH ATTACK formed in early 2002. With obvious comparisons to bands such as CRIPPLEDYOUTH and SIDE BY SIDE, YOUTH ATTACK has continued it's assault of straightedge mayhem throughout the hardcore and punk rock community on several tours.

Turn Away is playing lots of shows during the year and they're something like a bench-mark for melodic hardcore in the vein of HAVE HEART, VERSE or ALL FOR NOTHING.

DAY OF THE DEAD often get compared to such bands as AMERICAN NIGHTMARE, BANE, MODERN LIFE IS WAR, and even have been said to have a vague TRAGEDY-esque element that was once termed "a crusty BANE".
