Incredible’ Me formed in 2012.  In that eponymous year, lead singer David Jones and drummer Jaime got together to jam in the latter's garage. Both had recently parted ways with their former local bands, and they wanted to pursue a different path together. Pulling guitarist Lexie Olsen from David's previous outfit, they stumbled upon their sound one fateful evening.  Musically the sextet can slip from an irresistible pop melody into a moshpit-parting groove.  Incredible’ Me is David Jones (Vocals), Jaime Templeton (Drums/Vocals/Programming), Alex Strobaugh (Bass/Vocals), Dillon Jones (Keys/Vocals),Christian Shroyer  (Guitar) and Lexie Olsen (Guitar). The band is managed by Eric Rushing and Chris Gacayan  of The Artery Foundation and represented for touring by Amanda Fiore at the Pantheon Ganecy.
 
Artery Recordings is the joint venture between The Artery Foundation and Razor & Tie.  Artery Recordings  roster now includes Chelsea Grin, Vanna, Attila, I Declare War, A Bullet For Pretty Boy, Close To Home, The Crimson Armada, Hearts & Hands, In Dying Arms, Buried in Verona, and Death Of An Era.  A management company since 2004, The Artery Foundation has a knack for finding diamonds in the rough and nurturing them into worldwide prominence.  Some of their recent artists flooding the Billboard charts have included Top 40 releases with The Devil Wears Prada and Attack Attack!, Top 100 releases with Alesana and Breath Carolina and additional artists such as Asking Alexandria, Jonny Craig and Dance Gavin Dance. The New York City-based Razor & Tie is one of the fastest growing independent record companies in the United States, and has garnered both Platinum sales and Grammy awards in its 20-year history.   Razor & Tie’s expanding Rock roster includes such artists as All That Remains, The Sword, HIM Hatebreed, For Today, P.O.D., Such Gold, Nonpoint, Shadows Fall, Norma Jean, Saves The Day and many more.

Death Of An Era’s New EP Available For Pre-Order

Death of an Era’s new EP The Great Commonwealth (Artery Recordings/Razor & Tie) is available for pre-order in a variety of bundles at Merchnow HERE.  The Great Commonwealth EP was produced by Kevin Lankford and will be released on May 21st.

Listen to the new song “Shapeshifter” at Artery Recordings
 
Formed last year, the Columbus, OH based death metal band Death of an Era is the latest addition to join the Artery Recordings, the joint venture between The Artery Foundation and Razor & Tie. After a year supporting their self-released Reviler EP, this collective of high school friends had risen out of the Ohio underground and into the national spotlight.  Alternative Press featured them in AP&R, and they carved out a rabid core of fans through relentless touring and an incomparable sound.  Confronting everything from child abuse and  drug addiction to deceit and bullying head-on, the group—Daniel Simpson [vocals], Nathan Stewart [guitar], Dustin Colling [guitar], and brothers Chris [bass] and Michael Cooper [drums]—offer catharsis in the face of chaos.
