Colour Revolt
Colour Revolt take their current name from Edwin Abbott's mathematical novel, Flatland. The group had intended to record their first EP in Mississippi in August of 2005, but Hurricane Katrina interrupted the recording session, and so they recorded it in the house of local label Esperanza Plantation's owner. The self-titled EP came out in December of 2005; following this the group toured with Brand New and signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the EP on their subsidiary Tiny Evil in October 2006. The group has also performed at SXSW and toured with Dinosaur Jr., Black Lips, Okkervil River, Menomena, Explosions in the Sky, Malajube, and Manchester Orchestra. They then signed with Fat Possum Records; their full-length debut, produced by Clay Jones, is scheduled for release on April 1, 2008.

Snowden
Snowden started out in Jordan Jeffares' bedroom, where he recorded demos. These demos impressed Jeffares' brother Preston, who then introduced other musicians to Jeffares, thus beginning Snowden. Snowden self released The Snowden EP, which was received with immense local success. They landed spots opening for groups such as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Arcade Fire. In 2006, Jade Tree signed the band and released their debut album "Anti-Anti." The album gained immediate attention, as evidenced by its making the "most blogged" band on the internet according to elbo.ws and getting airplay by Steve Lamacq (BBC). In 2007, the band released videos for "Like Bullets" and "Anti-Anti" and made radio appearances around the country. They recorded special features for Comcast, AOL/Spin, and had a concert at Manhattan's Bowery Ballroom (recorded Nov 2006) released on DVD by Baeble Music. In addition they embarked upon a full US tour of medium size venues opening for Kings of Leon, and were invited to open several European dates as well. Snowden accepted and as a consequence pushed back plans for beginning the recording of their second album.
