Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal band from Jacksonville, Florida, consisting of lead vocalist Fred Durst, drummer John Otto, guitarist Wes Borland, and turntablist DJ Lethal. Their music is characterized by Durst's aggressive vocal style and Borland's experimental guitar work. The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, sold 40 million records worldwide, and received multiple other awards. The band was formed in 1994 by Durst and bassist Sam Rivers and was soon joined by Otto and later Borland. Limp Bizkit gained recognition in the Jacksonville underground music scene in the late 1990s and signed with Flip Records, distributed by Interscope, releasing their debut album "Three Dollar Bill, Y'all" in 1997. They achieved mainstream success with the albums "Significant Other" (1999) and "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" (2000), though their rise was accompanied by controversies related to performances at Woodstock '99 and the 2001 Big Day Out festival. Borland left the band in 2001, and Durst, Rivers, Otto, and Lethal continued with guitarist Mike Smith. Following the release of their fourth album "Results May Vary" (2003), Borland returned to record the EP "The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)" (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal, and drummer Sammy Siegler before the band went on hiatus. In 2009, Limp Bizkit reunited with Borland and resumed touring, culminating in the release of "Gold Cobra" (2011). The band subsequently left Interscope, signed with Cash Money Records, and saw DJ Lethal briefly leave before returning in 2018. After years of teasing an album tentatively titled "Stampede of the Disco Elephants," they released their sixth studio album "Still Sucks" on October 31, 2021. Founding bassist Sam Rivers, who recruited Otto into the band, died in October 2025.

Circa Survive is an alternative rock band consisting of Saosin's current vocalist Anthony Green and members of the now-defunct This Day Forward, including guitarists Brendan Ekstrom and Colin Frangicetto. Compared to the sound of Green's former group, the music of Circa Survive taps a different musical influence for Green, who cites Paul Simon, dredg, and Björk among later artists who have more influence on his vocal stylings in Circa Survive which are comparatively less aggressive, as well as his songwriting. After going back to his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in 2004 for a dental appointment, Anthony Green went back to the airport to return to California and his Saosin mates. However, he suddenly had an epiphany - that despite the fact that Saosin was close to breaking out, he knew he would be miserable if he returned. To him, Saosin was "a girl that you had great sex with, yet had little in common with," as Green himself affectionately said. He returned to Colin Frangicetto, a friend who he had "jammed" with during his stay, and they decided to begin recording and recruiting. Thus, Circa Survive was born. Colin Frangicetto and Anthony Green, with full support from Equal Vision Records, then recruited Brendan Ekstrom. Ekstrom had been Frangicetto's bandmate in This Day Forward. Both Ekstrom and Frangicetto had toured with Taken during their This Day Forward days, and procured Nick Beard, previous bassist of Taken, as Circa Survive's next member. The band met Steve Clifford through Vadim Taver of the band Marigold; "[Steve] jammed with us for a week and from there it was on," says Frangicetto. To date, Circa Survive has released two versions of the song "Handshakes at Sunrise" on two different 2004 sampler discs from Equal Vision Records, as well as a 2005 limited edition tour EP called The Inuit Sessions.

The band announced in August of 2009, after over a year of writing, that they were beginning the recording process, and that they had signed with Atlantic Records.

Chiodos' drummer, Derrick Frost has stated in an interview that the band was disappointed in the final result of the music video, saying "Well, usually there are different people who throw out ideas and we go through them and add in our own suggestions but that video definitely didn’t turn out like we wanted it to turn out, like at all. We’re pretty disappointed with it. We never get a video where we’re all like “This is amazing!” And that’s what every band wants, to have an amazing video because that can push your career and your band so far. And we haven’t gotten that yet so it’s kind of frustrating. It’s just like so much money that we spent on this for no reason. No one’s going to play it; it’s not getting played at all." On September 16, 2008, Chiodos teamed up with acclaimed director Darren Doane and The Crofoot Ballroom to shoot a video for "The Undertaker's Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)" in downtown Pontiac, MI. The video was released on December 20, 2008. On September 24, 2010, it was announced that Craig Owens was no longer the singer of Chiodos.

Fat Mike of NOFX's newly launched project, Codefendants, are the breath of fresh air and the steel-toe-cap kick in the nuts music has needed for too long. Get Dead vocalist Sam King’s graffiti crew were giving tattoos and making flash art to raise money to help rapper Ceschi Ramos when he was in prison. Months later they met at the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California. They bonded, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock, over a bottle of Jameson. They didn’t know it yet, but they had just started Codefendants. Impossible to define by traditional standards, Codefendants were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else; a completely genre-fluid album, a cross between hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, and the Beatles. They call the genre 'Crime Wave'.

There are 2 bands that go by 'Many Eyes': 1. Former Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley has announced a new project, Many Eyes. Hatebreed‘s Jamey Jasta introduced Buckley to his two new bandmates, brothers Nick and Charlie Bellmore, who were formerly in Kingdom of Sorrow with Kirk Windstein of Crowbar, and more recently have played with Twisted Sister‘s Dee Snider and ex-Judas Priest singer Tim “Ripper” Owens.

Ex-ETID guitarist Jordan Buckley, bassist Stephen Micciche and drummer Clayton “Goose” Holyoak formed Better Lovers with recent ETID producer Will Putney and Greg Puciato of the now-defunct Dillinger Escape Plan. They recently announced a new Buffalo holiday show, BLissmass, which seems like a smaller-scale continuation of ETID’s Tid the Season, and are on the 2024 lineup for Sick New World, which was just announced. 2. 'Many Eyes' are an unsigned rock band from London, UK. Formed in 2012 by Mark Sepple and Sam Bunting. When rock band 'Zalinski' imploded back in 2010, drummer and bassist - Mark and Sam - found themselves with a vast amount of songs and musical ideas written but no band to realise them. After years of playing and writing in bands together, they had forged a strong musical alliance and it wasn't long before they decided to find a singer and guitarist for their own band project. With such a strong vision of how they wanted the band to sound as well as how it needed it to work on a personal level, it wasn't going to be easy. After many months of searching they finally found Scott and Lawrence and in the summer of 2012 the band began performing in and around London. In December 2012 'Many Eyes' recorded three tracks live at Bally Studios, and are set to record their debut Ep in the spring of 2013.

Tantric is a post-grunge band from Louisville, Kentucky, that was formed by three former members of Days of the New, Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer, Tobey Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001, which debuted at #193 on the Billboard 200. The record eventually went platinum, largely on the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed. Follow-up singles "Astounded" and a remixed version of "Mourning" also fared well. The band's sophomore effort, "After We Go", again produced by Wright, was released in February 2004, preceded by the single "Hey Now". Described as heavier than their first record, "After We Go" debuted at #56 on the Billboard 200. Unfortunately, the album did not match the success of their debut, in part due to the poor reception of follow-up singles (the title track "After We Go," and their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain"). Nevertheless, Tantric soldiered on, touring with Three Doors Down and Shinedown for much of 2004. In 2005, it was announced that Jesse Vest had left the band to spend time with his family. He was replaced by Bruce LaFrance. For much of that year, Tantric worked on their third record. Some of the songs tracked for the record include "Letting Go", "People", "Worth Waiting For", "Fall Down", "The One", "July", "Locked Out", and "Stay With You". Todd Whitener recorded the bass guitar parts for the album, and also contributed lead vocals to a number of songs. In January, 2006 Tantric traveled with hard rock group Drowning Pool to Seoul, South Korea to play several shows for U.S. troops currently stationed along the DMZ. Highly appreciative of this, the troops gave members of the band a plaque with actual barbed wire from the 38th parallel barrier. In March, 2006, Tantric was dropped from Maverick Records, which was collapsing. In 2007, Matt Taul was arrested on drug-related charges, which would further complicate the band's obtaining a new label. Finally, on May 8, 2007, the release of three songs from Tantric III on the band's MySpace was largely overshadowed by Todd Whitener's farewell announcement on the band's website, which cited a feeling of stagnation that caused him to grow tired of the band's struggle to succeed. Ferreira later said in interviews that Whitener, as well as other members of the band had grown frustrated with the band's record label complications. Taul was sent to prison in later months, but has since been released. Bruce LaFrance was replaced. Hugo Ferreira began searching for a new band, enlisting former Fuel drummer Kevin Miller, Joe Pessia (guitarist Dramagods) through mutual friend Nuno Bettencourt, Erik Leonhardt (bassist), and Marcus Ratzenboeck (electric violin) as new members of the band. Shortly thereafter, Tantric announced their deal with the Silent Majority Group record label, and their new management company, JHMP. Because Ferreira remained the only original member of Tantric, Tantric III has been shelved for the time being. Ferreira has said the reasoning for this, other than the logical label complications, was he did not want to produce an album under the Tantric name that was partially written by Whitener and Taul. However, in recent interviews, Ferreira's comments increased the likelihood of Tantric III's release. He has stated that although he did not plan to release it in grand style he would have liked to leak it out to the fans as a potential Christmas 2008 gift for their support. With the indefinite shelving of "T3," Ferreira and his new mates recorded 10 new songs, in addition to a totally revamped version of "The One," featuring Kevin Martin of Candlebox, and finally released the band's third album, The End Begins, on April 22, 2008. On March 9 2009, Tantric announced through MySpace that their new album will be entitled Mind Control and that the band were in the process of recording the album. Produced by Brett Hestla (Creed), they announced a release date of August 4, and it was released in stores, as well as all digital retailers.
