Ferret Music is launching new songs on My Space from upcoming releases by The Banner, Elysia and The Hottness.

THE BANNER who have a new full-length FRAILITY out on June 9th debut the song DUSK.

The Banner, known for horror imagery and dark lyrics and themes, are continuing what they began on their debut Each Breath Haunted.

“The songs are all focused, and there are some that are very short, like bursts of anger.” Vocalist Joey Southside says, “There are straight up black metal riffs through the whole thing.” and our drummer, Pollution, is really powerful so the drums are very heavy on the punk stuff, which I personally love.”

THE HOTTNESS debut The GHOST from their forthcoming full-length STAY CLASSY being released on April 28th.

The Wilmington NC based five piece have become a hot commodity with their bastardization of punk with dirty rock leanings, metal stomping riffs and a southern flair.

“We’re just ugly, unhealthy guys who know how to play music and love it more than anything” vocalist Adam says.

ELYSIA are probably the youngest band currently on Ferret debut BOX OF NEED(LES) from their upcoming full-length LION OF JUDAS out on June 9th.

The Sacramento based band recorded with Kurt Ballou (Converge).

Vocalist Zak Vargas says of the album “The sound of the album is very offbeat and weird compared to what is going on in the scene right now, still very heavy but we played around with a lot of with the instruments, and we even threw a tambourine in the mix.”

Known for their excessively brutal but socially conscious hardcore/metal mix, they thrive on audience interaction and showed their viewpoints on a recent tour with This is Hell and Ruiner.
