Yes it's true. It's very hard to keep a band together for years and years.

Unfortunately Never Looking Back just played their final show, The Homefront has 2 final shows next month, and Up The Fury still hasn't called me to tell me that they have broken up. Anyways we will be signing some new bands soon so be on the lookout for that!

DETONATE RECORDS WELCOMES........UP THE FURY!
We are very excited to announce that we have Signed Up The Fury from Long Island NY. They will be entering the studio in July to record their upcoming Full Length CD titled "Behind Every Mind". The effort will be mastered by the great Alan Douchess at West West Side, and will be out this fall! here is their bio:
"Today, the hardcore scene parallels the society it chose to stray from.
There are cliques and there are politics. There are elitists and there are
outcasts. Honesty and community are all but a fading signal lost in the
static of values overrun by a social unconsciousness. From the heart of
suburban morals and standards, UP THE FURY delivers grave and insightful
hardcore that provides reassurance to anyone who has felt like they didn’t
fit in… to anyone who has felt like their lives didn’t belong to them.
Hailing from Long Island, New York, UP THE FURY first made an appearance
during the summer of 2005. After recording a demo, the five piece
immediately hit the road, setting out for their first tour which took them
down the east coast and back in under two weeks. Following that summer, UP
THE FURY solidified a full time touring lineup and recorded the “Modern
Culture” EP in the winter of 2006. After months of small weekend tours, the
band set out on a six week tour of the U.S. and Canada, sharing the stage
with such acts as Bane, Blacklisted, Outbreak, This Is Hell, Death Before
Dishonor, The Unseen, Shattered Realm, Ramallah, Internal Affairs, Kill Your
Idols, Verse, Guns Up, Shipwreck, Crime In Stereo, Attitude, Ruiner, Down To
Nothing, Sinking Ships, Kids Like Us, Soldiers, Die Young, and others.
At the start of 2007, German based label Blacktop Records caught wind of the
band and released “Modern Culture” onto a 7”, as well as a repressing of the
CDEP version. During this time, the band began writing new songs and
continued to play out of state, and began to slowly become recognized for
their energetic live performances and tenacity on stage. The path was clear
for UP THE FURY. The band remained the social outcast to a scene now
foreign to them, and the desire to unleash hell on those who turned their
noses up became the essence for what the band stands for.
UP THE FURY will be heading into the studio late July to record their debut
full length titled “Behind Every Mind” which will be released on Detonate
Records in the fall of 2007. Expect to see the band in your town very soon!
UP THE FURY is…
Greg Santoro, Drew Olsen, Jared Fagen, Sean Powers, Tom Wood

Signs of Hope - "First and Foremost" CD OUT NOW!
Hailing from Southern Connecticut, Signs of Hope is a fast and energetic old school hardcore band with a touch of melody. The band was formed in September of 2003 with the intention of playing straight to the point songs loaded with sing-a-longs, mosh parts, and an overlaying positive message. The band's demo quickly earned them a reputation as one of Connecticut's premier acts. The ability to establish themselves as a home state headliner off a six minute demo reflects Signs of Hope's capability to resonate with fans and win the hearts of the hardcore scene. Signs of Hope's debut CD titled "First and Foremost" was released in early Auguest of 2006, immediately followed by a 33 day full U.S. tour! The band is eager to hit the road again, having previously toured the East Coast with acts such as Guns Up!, Shoot to Kill, Outbreak, and Our Final Say. Known to have left for their last tour with the check enginge light on, Signs of Hope plays the music they love for the core and for the kids.
