Nitro Records announced today the signing of two new bands to the roster: Long Island hardcore punks Crime in Stereo and Bay Area old-school style punks Enemy You. Both are expected to release new records for the label early next year.

Comprised of Scotty Giffin, Alex Dunne, Michael Musilli, Eric Kuster and Kristian Hallbert, Crime in Stereo’s mission is simple: play fast, aggressive, hardcore punk with lyrics that are uncompromising and genuine. After releasing a split CD with Kill Your Idols via Blackout! Records, CIS laid down their first full-length in 2003 titled Explosives and the Will to Use Them on Brightside/Blackout! Records. With their explosive sound that brings to mind such bands as Silent Majority, Dag Nasty, Embrace, Kid Dynamite and Gorilla Biscuits, CIS has toured the states relentlessly and found themselves gaining loyal fans across the country. Having shared the stage with bands ranging from The Movielife, Coheed and Cambria, Brand New, and Elliott to Cro-Mags, Kill Your Idols, Bane, Terror and The Hope Conspiracy, Crime in Stereo has demonstrated a crossover ability rarely seen anymore. The band has also appeared at the Asbury Park Skate and Surf Festival, Positive Numbers Festival, and most recently Bamboozle. Crime in Stereo has extensive touring plans throughout the remainder of the year (see current dates below).

Enemy You formed in the late-90’s out of the Bay Area punk rock scene. Consisting of David Jones, Chris Matulich and brothers Ken and Joe Yamazaki, the band made its first appearance on a compilation for Ben Weasel’s Panic Button Records. They followed that up with their debut full length titled Where No One Knows My Name on Lookout/Panic Button. The band’s sophomore release, 2004’s Stories Never Told was released on Red Scare. In the spirit of such bands as Screeching Weasel, The Clash, Social Distortion and Bad Religion, Enemy You’s music is sincere punk rock that is both smart and infectious. It’s music that harkens back to the days when there was still a feeling of independence in the punk scene. It’s this element of punk rock that Enemy You draws upon for influence. The band has had the opportunity to play with some of punk rock’s most notable bands including Bouncing Souls, Lagwagon, Bad Religion, TSOL, Mad Caddies, and even a short stint on tour in support of NOFX. Watch for Enemy You on the west coast with Lawrence Arms and A Wilhelm Scream from June 27- July 10 (dates below).
