Bands On The Verge Various Contributors July 31, 2009 NJ/NY We opened up the floodgates over the last few months to bands throughout the tri-state area and beyond to submit their music to us. While we’re always looking for new bands, this time, we wanted a full-on assault of demos. Needless to say, we were really asking for it. These days, it’s a full-on assault of MySpace pages.

On the verge of? Well, something. You’ve seen some before, others are fresh faces. These acts are all doing something right, many of them just out of school, and with a little support, they could easily be your next troubadours, rockstars, metal gods and hipsters. Or not. It’s tough out there. But we believe, with a little help, this class of ‘09 will be worth watching in the coming months.
