2) Post Hardcore? Screamo? Progressive? Post Rock? Mariah Carey? You Decide. Led by two vocalists, this six piece lays it down hard. They stay heavy, even during their most calm and melodic parts, and flawlessly intertwine it all with quite frequent time/signature changes. Epic? Yeah, but you probably shouldn't take our word for it. Just listen.
3) A hardcore band based out of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Their first EP is available for free download here.

Your Words
Battleships Lyrics
See them turn towards the sun
Though they know not what they do
Till the day their race is run
Regardless if they know it too
Lay me down as I move on
To the place where I belong
Everything you heard was wrong
And your words
Your words made me strong
Have it now before it's done
Take a look take all you see
Nothing can be lost or won
Stuck in its own frailty
Lay me down as I move on
To the place where I belong
Everything you heard was wrong
And your words
Your words made me strong
Can't you feel there's more than this?
More than just what you now see
Ignorance is not quite bliss
After this eternity
Lay me down as I move on
To the place where I belong
Everything you heard was wrong
And your words
Your words made me strong
What a world that you must own
What's the point I dare not dread
Dense in thought as I walked home
As your words filled up my head.
