Identity On Fire is a bold statement for Lodi, California's A Skylit Drive. With their third full-length, A Skylit Drive have honed their signature sound: a blend of cinematic melody, layers of guitars, full force vocals, and lyrics that hit home. With the help of producer/mixer Cameron Webb, A Skylit Drive's understanding of their new identity has been an easy process. The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at #89 and #16 on the Alternative Albums chart.

A Skylit Drive released their first EP She Watched The Sky in 2007, followed by their first full-length in 2008, Wires And The Concept of Breathing, completing their current line up with the addition of frontman Michael "Jag" Jagmin. The band hit #64 on the top Billboard 200 in 2009 with Adelphia, their label debut with Fearless Records in 2009. Following a tour with Underoath and a full summer on Vans Warped Tour, A Skylit Drive rounds out 2012 as direct support to Alesana on this year's Rock Yourself to Sleep Tour.

For the past two decades, Silverstein have relentlessly pushed themselves to become the best version of the band for both themselves and their fans. That determination has led the Ontario-based five-piece from their underground roots to becoming one of the most influential bands in their scene, playing two thousand-plus shows all over the globe, and selling over a million records. Now Silverstein are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their 9th, and perhaps strongest album to date: A Beautiful Place To Drown. 

While many bands would take their 20-year anniversary as an opportunity to rest on the laurels of nostalgia, Silverstein (vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Paul Marc Rousseau and Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler) see the landmark as a time to appreciate how far they’ve come, while also channeling all those years of experience into something new. A Beautiful Place To Drown finds the band deftly balancing their core sound—an intensely dynamic mix of melody and aggression, rooted in the energy of hardcore punk and the unabashed earnestness of emo—with their natural growth as songwriters and evolving inspirations.
