Most individuals would think twice before giving up all their physical belongings, cutting ties and risking homelessness & starvation. In 2011, Nashville pop-rock quartet Farewell Fighter did just that. After topping Alternative Press Magazine's list of 2010's top unsigned bands in North America, the band decided to take things to the next level by scheduling show after show in self-booked, self-funded tours across America; ultimately spending the next 12 months on the road playing 150+ shows in more than 40 states and selling more than 5,500 copies of their latest self-released EP entitled The Way We Learn.

With an undying passion for their trade, vocalist Kenny Fleetwood, drummer Matthew Hooper, guitarist Lee Morton and bassist David Jahns seem to be the scene's poster-boys for the 'look what I can do' attitude. While most bands in their genre struggle to create honest and catchy songs, FF do it track by track — and they've managed to stay humble doing it. Giving up everything you have for the good of a dream has a way of putting the world into perspective for a young artist. Feet on the ground, eyes on the prize, the sly foursome aren't showing signs of slowing down. On-stage antics reminiscent of a band operating on a much bigger budget have earned them appearances with peers such as The Early November, We Are The In Crowd and Hellogoodbye.

Candace Brown is often at her keyboard, composing the music she vocalizes. "I write songs using my keyboard and the world around me. Singing is my addiction, and I am so grateful that I have people in my life who don't get too sick of me and my noise." Candace started out in a small Central California town and only sang once in public before relocating to Walla Walla (WA) in eighth grade. Around her junior year in high school, she and a few fellow musicians, including younger sister Helena, started the Storybook Maneuver band. Candace was lead singer, keyboardist and songwriter. They performed at school functions, put on an occasional concert and opened for larger acts that came to town. "It was a very fun time. But after several different band members graduated and moved on to other schools, the band broke up." When she graduated from high school, she participated in local nonprofit Embracing Orphans in Jamaica. There she led music for a girls camp, which inspired a lot of her music and the song "Broken" is included on her new album. Her musical style varies, with elements of pop, rock, funk and jazz. "The songs really tell a lot about my growth as a person and as an artist. I really focused on writing them in a way that would delve into some deep parts of life, whether it be chaos, contradictions, sadness, hope, irony or love."

With an irresistible combination of talent, charisma, and creativity Tell Romeo i Hate Him has exploded upon the Nashville music scene. The members of the band hail from various southern cities where their musical roots began by playing a variety of instruments. Among the five of them, they have played everything from the violin, trumpet, and saxophone to the more standard guitar, bass, and drums. Each member brings his own unique style into the mix, and together they create an innovative sound that pulls the listener in. They successfully blend their eclectic musical backgrounds to bring a fresh perspective to the pop-punk scene while flawlessly incorporating elements of their main influences You Me at Six, Paramore, All Time Low, and Mayday Parade.
