    After the Minor

    'You Can't Win 'em All' [audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2013/04/After-the-Minor-You-Cant-Win-em-All.mp3|titles=After the Minor - You Can't Win 'em All]

    After the Minor bring high energy metal to Flint by blending aggressively hardcore yet melodic keys, vocals, and harmonies. The name “After the Minor” was inspired by the everyday problems we all face and the willingness to buck up and deal with them. Their name is more than just that, but also helps tell the band’s story.

    Cradle the Fall

    'Going Steady' [audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2013/04/Cradle-the-Fall-Miles-edit.mp3|titles=Cradle the Fall - Miles (edit)]

    Cradle the Fall is a five piece post-hardcore group that draws on a wide variety of influences. Cradle the Fall’s music and live performances are pulsing with energy. Cradle the Fall flows comfortably between poppy choruses and heavy breakdowns. Add a mixture of choir-boy voices with a wide range of screams, shrieks, and growls and you have a unique sound that the band members themselves prefer to call popcore. With each member having the capability to write music, lyrics, or melodies, it truly is a team effort and it shows in the bands chemistry. The members of Cradle the Fall are more than just band mates—they’re brothers.
