"with labels talking and hype starting to weigh in their favor Gauge is ready to pounce on the larger metalcore scene. With darker and deeper sounds they have something to offer the oftentimes monotonous sound of the genre. With songs as original as they are thunderous, clever drums, and with thick blood-thirsty vocals, Gauge is ready to set the bar a little higher. perhaps just moments before they take over the world of heavy music... i got a chance to get an e-mail interview with them..."[read more...]
"Just a short word on A7X's latest. This band has been on the covers of a lot of magazines lately, and they have been getting a lot of press for their new CD and probably more for what they have had to say about their recently divorced scene: metalcore..."[read more...]
"As Cities Burn could be called emo-core or heartcore, or something like that... labels aside, this group plays their hearts out, rocking as hard as they can, and they throw some melodies and soft parts in there to mix it up..."[read more...]
" I first heard of BLC when i saw them at a small show at Solid Rock church in Plymouth. Then, they were totally sweet, and they're debut CD, "The Beginning of The End" was amazing. However, something is lacking on, "They Want You Silent".[read more...]
Cornerstone 2005 Survival Guide "once we began setting up, a massvie gust of wind gathered a few hundred yards from our site... we all stopped what we were doing, and watched as a small funnel cloud of wind formed around some large dumpsters picking up bits of trash and debris, and moved towards a cluster of tents... and to our dumbfoundedness uprooted an unoccupied tent and caried it 20ft above the ground, across a long feild at increditable speed and smashed it into the woods at the edge of the feild..."[read more...]
"Very shortly after the release of their new CD "O God, The Aftermath" Norma Jean came to Pontiac opening for headliners Unearth and Atryu. Clutch Cargo's being an old run-down church building made the perfect setting for Norma's chaotic ground shaking christian metal-core..."[read more...]
"Ever since September 12th when i saw the Jean at the intersection in Grand Rapids, i've eagarly been awiting the new material from Norma Jean. With the departure of Josh on vocals, many have been skeptical of the prospects that "O God, The Aftermath" would be as groundbreaking and amazing as "Bless the Martyrand Kiss the Child"..."[read more...]

"Remember Arlington was just recently dubed an officall Sellout Magazine Sponsored Band... The ferocity and shere rage and beauty of This 4-song CD definitely played a role.[read more...]
"...Staple seamlessly combines the kick of hardcore, the thash and speed of metal, the soul of rock and roll and what comes out is something i havn't anything like. This CD is deep and heavy-hitting like Project 86. But its smooth and seamless and has real rythm like Lucerin Blue..."[read more...]
"Anti-Flag's recent offering is definitely the most politically concentrated efforts put forth by the band. This is the album they put out intended to get Bush out of office. The Terror State was released in October of 2003 so it had plenty of time to circulate and try to convince listeners Bush is bad news. Also, they played 2004's Warped Tour and were wildly accepted and celebrated (based on the date i saw them in Detroit)..."[read more...]
"in this neo-documentary, Morgan Spurlock leads the veiwer through a look at the fast food industry.

"What have you learned or changed since July when you played the sellout show?[read more...]Danny - We've progressed a lot with the band musically.Geoff - We rely on the Wendy's Dollar Menu more now. But umm... I feel we've changed our musical style, even though I wasn't in the band at the time. I was with these guys a lot. But now, I see that Remember Arlington has changed styles, and most musical taste..."
" Last night at club triune Indiana's finest hardcore band, Remember Arlington bestowed their presence upon us. If you were one of the few to catch them at Sellout's first show last July 30th you're familiar with their unrelenting style of hardcore..."[read more...]
"Ypsilanti's own Bloodlined Calligraphy has released a 5 song disc on their new label, Face Down Records. Aside from the demo-quality recording sound, "The Beginning of the End" is an intense fist of fury for all 5 songs. ..."[read more...]
"UnderOath's second CD with a new vocalist has redefined their sound while remaining unmistakibly UnderOath. Weighing in at 11 songs, They're Only Chasing Safety is a worthy offering put forth for all to enjoy. ..."[read more...]
"The Chariot gives the word "hardcore" a whole new meaning. They live up to every imaginable grungy thought "hardcore" provokes and still refines the genre into something solely their own. For this CD The Chariot decided to omit any computers or anything digital in recording. So every sound you hear is straight out of the guitars strings, drum sticks, vocal chords and the accompanying feedback..."[read more...]
"The Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" has been getting a good deal of airplay on radio stations like 89x. "Fever To Tell" is an indie rock masterpiece. While the single, "Maps" is very mellow and melodic, the rest of the CD can be quite abrasive at times. The 3 piece consists of: Brian Chase on the drums, Karren O singing and Nick Zinner playing the guitar and doing the drum machine. ..."[read more...]
"Darrell Abbott was only 38 years old when a crazed fan shot and killed him. As one of the most influencial guitar players of the 90's. Dime took a part of heavy metal history down with him. He has been described as "warm, loving, nice, caring and a great drinking buddy" by those who have met and toured with him..."[read more...]

"On Monday nights in Plymouth, a handful of poets, musicians, singers and other revolutionary people young and old have been congregating at a little independant coffee shop called The Bean. This open mic night is host to anyone with a desire to express themselves. All one needs is to show up and put their name on the list. Religiously, there are a few people who show up and read or sing their art every week. ..."[read more...] NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: Hi everyone, this is Matt the editor, writer, phtographer, HTML coder, publisher, promoter, PR person and the team mascot. If you've been reading Sellout for any amount of time, you might have noticed a massive gap between a lot of the updates... especially this update and the one before (3 and a half months!).
Part of the reason for this is that running Sellout is an extreemely time consuming job. So, i want to thank the guys from Remember Arlington and Dayspring for encouraging me to keep working on Sellout Magazine.
So, what i want to say is, i need other people who are interested in writting articles, coding HTML,
taking pictures, and doing all the things i have to do in order to make Sellout happen. Anyone who is interested in joining Sellout, please e-mail me:
"So we waited outside the building of St. Andrews's with all the other Used fans eagerly waiting for the best band in the world to play. It was really fun meeting all kinds of cool Used fans and just hanging out and goofing off... and just terrorizing pedestrians."
"This CD has been one of the most anticipated releases of 2004. From Utah's The Used... fans worldwide have been waiting egarly for this sophmore release. With their self-titled CD and the "Maybe Memories" CD/DVD releases The Used have carved out a name for themselves as a band defined by overcoming odds and making dreams come true. "In Love And Death" is no different."
"and finally the reality set in that we were going to see the best hardcore band in the world...... NORMA efin JEAN! "

The news came like a punch in the stomach, for my wife. She had just found out that an exboyfriend, whom she had lost touch with, has been in prison for the past two years. To make matters worse, not only is he in prison, but on death row. Convicted of a double murder that few who knew him could believe he orchestrated. Meanwhile, the accomplice that has been linked to another separate similar murder, they’re not seeking capital punishment for him...

Check out 2 poems from one-time, Ohio contributer, Nicole:
"thankfully i don't regret that choice and own a great CD because of it. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is a really highly entergetic post-punk masterpiece for this band's sophmore release. "read more... Moral Relativism - Arnie comes back to us blazing a path with this deeply thoughtful article on moral relativism. "Moral or ethical relativism's alluring qualities lie within the commonly held belief in Western culture that to purport to be a possessor of such convictions is to appear as a tolerant and non-judgemental individual. Many definitive statements are now qualified with, "But, that's just my opinion." Tolerance is an understandably attractive, frequently necessary and arguably fashionable quality to have (or to claim to have) as part of one's character. However, it is neither satisfactory nor correct to discredit all common ideas of good or bad behaviour, or absolute truth with this method. Here, I will attempt to explain why. "read more...
