MESSENGERS Sign With STRIKE FIRST RECORDS

September 7, 2010

Strike First Records has announced the signing of the Texas-based hardcore band MESSENGERS. The group's debut EP, "Anthems", will be released on November 9.

MESSENGERS pulled no punches this year when it charged onto the Dallas heavy music scene. In the band's own words, they "just want to be heard," and playing music in the vein of CROWBAR, PANTERA and AGNOSTIC FRONT will get the job done.

MESSENGERS' hometown, Dallas is known for producing heavy music from the likes PANTERA, so it's not unusual that a hardcore band from "The City of Hate" could cross over so seamlessly. Childhood friends Noah, TK, Andy and brothers Chad and Chance have set in motion an unstoppable sound. High-energy, fast-paced, driving tracks dominate "Anthems", and spot-on gang vocals punctuate the songs with uncompromising strength.

MESSENGERS are stalwart supporters of the thrash sounds of yesteryear, but to call MESSENGERS' sound a throwback is to not realize the full potential of the second coming of '80s and '90s hardcore and thrash.

Commented vocalist Chad Paramore: "Signing to Strike First really is a dream come true.

"We have followed Facedown for years and years and it became a huge motivation to us.

"We have seen the bands that shine on Strike First be pushed up to Facedown, so even having this stepping stone makes us that much closer to being a part of the Facedown family. We already feel like we are part of the family. The whole team has treated us with the utmost respect and we could not ask for anything more."

The "Anthems" title track is available for streaming at this location.
