Labelmates VANNA and OUR LAST NIGHT Set to Tour in New Year

New England Post-Hardcore Groups to Spend Jan/Feb in Eastern US

Maybe it s the long winters or the historic bitterness surrounding their sports franchises, but New England definitely breeds some of the most interesting and agressive bands in the scene today. Case in point? Vanna and Our Last Night, who are going to be raising Cain together across the eastern US beginning on January 14th in Avondale PA.

Relative newcomers, Our Last Night raised the bar in March of this year with their Epitaph debut The Ghosts Among Us. Drawing a comparison to Underoath, AMP magazine wrote these guys are better at it than most. Solid vocal and guitar harmonies can be found throughout The Ghosts Among Us and NOW enthused Our Last Night definitely have what it takes to succeed in the oversaturated world of emo-meets-hardcore; their debut disc is full of infectious, melodic hooks and throat-busting growls. Our Last Night is on tour for the rest of the year with bands such as Saosin and Fight Fair.

Vanna have just completed their second full-length album with producer Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Story of the Year). Entitled A New Hope, the album is set for release in spring of 09. Guitar Messenger caught up with Vanna at a recent show and raved, Vanna came crashing into Harper s Ferry, destroying every eardrum within reach, and inciting bloodthirsty fans to mangle their bodies in the inevitable pit. Front man Chris Preece delivered monster vocals, living up to everything on the studio album. The band s stage presence matched the aggression of their fans. The end of 2008 will find Vanna doing a handful of shows with Ohio metalcore act Settle the Sky.
