SWITCHFOOT - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5
With over a decade of writing, recording, and touring under their belts, Switchfoot knows about the sweat, grit and elation of being a rock band. From their starts as a stripped-down three piece to their current five-man lineup, they have always been about making homemade music that everyone could enjoy. Their latest release, Oh! Gravity, represents everything the band first fell in love with about music, leading lead singer/guitarist/writer Jon Foreman calls it, "the most honest thing we've ever done." And boy does it rock.

RELIENT K - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5
The name Relient K has always been synonymous with some of the most contagious power pop/punk rock, tongue in cheek songwriting, and feel good fun anyone could ever ask for. But since the band's infancy, there has also been an upward evolution that includes tighter musicianship, increased songwriting smarts, and a high-octane stage show adored by fans at sold out shows from coast to coast. Their latest album, Five Score And Seven Years Ago, is no exception, demonstrating yet another building block upon the group's incredible talent.

SKILLET - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5
Classic rock riffs, swirling drums, monstrous hooks, and undeniably catchy choruses. Hints of old school progressive rock mixed in with modern alternative flourishes. Touches of classical influence as swelling strings intersect with sonic adrenaline rushes. It's indeed a fusion unlike any other, marking the latest chapter in the continuous evolution of Skillet, whose moniker couldn't be more fitting for their latest explosive release, Comatose, and their adrenaline-fueled live performances.

GRITS - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5
Twelve years. Eight Albums. Two Grammy nods, Three Dove awards, a Billboard Video Award and a host of other signposts. A catalogue of material that has always been one step ahead of the curve. Few hip-hop artists can boast any of this or navigate the delicate balance between commercial success and artistic credibility while continuing to grow with every successive release. But then, most artists aren't Teron "Bonafide" Carter and Stacy "Coffee" Jones, aka Grits.

GROUP 1 CREW - FRIDAY, SEPT. 5
If their unique hybrid of hip-hop, rock, funk, soul and Spanish-language rhymes wasn't enough to distinguish Group 1 Crew on its highly anticipated debut, their impassioned message of hope and encouragement can't help but set them apart—especially in a genre of music that typically glamorizes violence, the degradation of women and the acquisition of all the luxuries money can buy.

THIRD DAY - SATURDAY, SEPT. 6
Third Day continues the work they started in earnest on the Grammy-winning Wire on their latest release, Wherever You Are. With a keen eye for introspection, the Atlanta-based rockers leave over-arching testaments of faith behind, instead choosing to dig deep and dirty into the travails of everyday life. There is turmoil. There is celebration. There is heartbreak. There is happiness. There are tears and plenty of what lead singer Mac Powell calls the "major catastrophes in our everyday lives." But fighting through the swirling clouds of doubt, there is hope. And God is present in the midst of it all.

JEREMY CAMP - SATURDAY, SEPT. 6
A unique brand of rock and progressive pop, Jeremy Camp's music was born out of a heart that's been broken and a faith that's been tested. Yet, despite all this he has walked through-or maybe because of it-he’s compelled to praise the God who has proven Himself faithful through it all and has a passion for telling others about Him through music. With a mix of heavy guitar, hook-laden chorus, and spiritually proving lyrics, Jeremy Camp grows more and more impressive with each release.

STELLER KART - SATURDAY, SEPT. 6
Is there such a thing as a 'power pop punk rock' band? Could you even describe it if there were? Here's a plan - forget the labels. Stellar Kart already has. Instead of trying to fit into some preconceived notion of what they are supposed to sound like, Stellar Kart has spent the last year and a half defining, refining, smelting, hacking, merging, polishing, and crafting the twelve songs that comprise their highly anticipated sophomore release, We Can't Stand Sitting Down.

In a short time, Leeland has managed to create a buzz like none other-from MySpace to PureVolume and across the music industry. They even inspired Grammy Award-winning artist Michael W. Smith to say, "Leeland is the best thing I have heard in a long, long time."

THIS BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC - SATURDAY, SEPT. 6
To say that This Beautiful Republic's debut release evokes strong, positive emotion would be an understatement. Sonically, the band lies somewhere between Switchfoot, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World, and Taking Back Sunday. This Beautiful Republic's rock fills, beats, and riffs offer enough potency to satisfy the most ravenous audience. But beyond the album, This Beautiful Republic has placed a heavy emphasis on its live show, stating that the song recordings are meant to be mere glimpses of its performance.

SPECIAL D - SATURDAY, SEPT. 6
In the modern day music industry with flash in the pan overnight sensations, there's something to be said about an act with unceasing work ethic and commitment to artistic evolution. For western Kentucky alt-rockers Special D, that latter formula can perhaps be chalked up to its Midwestern upbringing and its members' unwavering commitment to the creative process. But no matter what the reason, the rollicking foursome has cultivated a fervent fan base across the entire US.
