One-Liner
One-Liner is a 4-piece rock band hailing from Burlington, NJ. Ask anyone involved with the local scene, they have heard of One-Liner, and it will also be said that they are different then other bands. Not following the hardcore/screamo influx of bands, all the same, OL believes (and proves) that it is possible to make a good song, that isn't constant screaming, double bass, or solos. Sure, all those are fine, in their own respect, but it is not for a band that doesn't want to follow the herd. So know, if you came to this page, looking for a hardcore band, this is not the place. If you came here looking for something different than what is mainstream popular in the local scene, then look no further.

Now that they had a CD under their belt, the guys decided that it was time to hit the CT music scene full force.

d-Seven
Following the growing revolution of music, the fusion of Rock, Hip-Hop, and Rap, d-Seven is taking the next step in advancing music. Instead of following retro music trends or clinging to concepts that have made other bands successful, d-Seven has adapted their influences - Pantera, Linkin Park, Fear Factory, and Korn - into a modern day mix of metal mayhem and musical mastery. Founded by Mike “D.K.” O’Toole, d-Seven, has combined the elements of great musicianship and innovative approaches to make music. While most bands wouldn’t think twice of getting onstage without a drummer, d-Seven proves that sometimes the combination of sequencing and the Techno/Industrial influence can provide a better backbeat than an actual drummer can. This type of ingenuity is typical of d-Seven music. The band has generated a sound that emphasizes the unit over the individual part: no one instrument ov
