Evergreen Terrace
Presenting raging tunes of a brutal blended sound featuring reckless metal marks and punk rock-inspired strains, Evergreen Terrace delivers their own particular melodic vision of the hardcore style. Forming in Jacksonville, FL, in 1999, Evergreen Terrace joined the efforts of a five-piece set, fronted by Andrew Carey (vocals) and completed with Craig Chaney (guitar, vocals), Joshua James (guitar), Jason Southwell (bass), and Christopher Brown (drums). Only months after forming, the band released its first demo EP, Broken, giving them considerable notice within the local music scene. During the following year, Terrace independently issued yet another EP, a split disc with Cordelle, before entering their first U.S. tour alongside Third Root. In 2001, the band again entered the recording studio, delivering Losing All Hope Is Freedom, their debut album, that same year.

Watch: The First Hour Of MTV
For those watching in 1981, the launch of MTV must have seemed as epic as the rocket-ship visual it used as an opener. For those who don't remember (or didn't exist yet), the iconic moonman's first appearance was juxtaposed with footage of Apollo 11 taking off in the channels first minutes. Although the implications were massive (an entire channel dedicated to music??) and the first video to ever air (our favorite Trivial Pursuit questions: "Video Killed The Radio Star") seemed an ambitious mission statement, MTV did nail something unmistakably cool with its initial aesthetics and promises of all-day, all-night stereo music. Cool story, MTV. Although the nostalgia is overwhelming, it does make one wonder why a network so far off of its own proclaimed ideology is celebrating the birth of something it would later kill off.
