Melding technical precision with an intense live performance, WIDOWS&ORPHANS does this nightly. Fans all across the country have been coming to this conclusion after witnessing this bands unique blend of math pop that has the fire of hardcore and the sincerity of indie rock.

Their sound evolved into a complex form of guitars intertwining and harmonizing with sporadic bass lines and calculated drums that framed frantic vocal melodies. WIDOWS & ORPHANS cites their wide range of influences to include The Mars Volta, Dillinger Escape Plan, twothirtyeight, Cursive, mewithouYou and At The Drive In.

Formed in Austin, Texas in 2002, WIDOWS&ORPHANS has steadily honed their musical style and proved themselves over and over again to a constantly growing fan base that is craving originality. Dedicated to their art, they have toured multiple times during their three year existence and recorded five times. WIDOWS&ORPHANS expands their sound each time they record, as with The Lonely Year (2002), Three Steps to Failure (2003), The Serial Killings of 1885 (2004), Such as Cancer is this Life (2004) and the Split with Blueprint Car Crash (Listed as The Kirby) (2005).

Having secured their place in the local Austin music scene, WIDOWS&ORPHANS has also taken on the rest of the United States, Playing an endless array of shows from coast to coast. Touring endlessly with acts such as Horse The Band, Showbread, Please Mr. Gravedigger, Society's Finest, Thumbscrew and playing alongside Daughters, The Blood Brothers, Recover, Knockout Kings, Vendetta Red and many more, WIDOWS&ORPHANS has relentlessly ingrained their name throughout the nation.

Blueprint Car Crash is a 5 piece group residing in the likes of San Dimas, CA. Recently signed to The Militia Group, they have been playing as many shows as possible. Performing anywhere from Bakersfield all the way down to San Diego, the bands overwhelming energy and stage antics is what keeps their fans entertained. Frequently compared to groups such as At The Drive-In and Pink Floyd, Blueprint's music can take you from a smooth, steady bass line, to an unbelievable driving force, filled with percussion and heart wrenching vocals, all within a single song. But what Bcc is best known for are their live performances. Singer Mo Shahisaman knows how to catch an audiences attention. Whether it be jumping off amps 8 feet in the air, rolling around in what seems like a state of agony, or strangling himself/bandmates with the cord from his mic, the audience leaves the show amazed every single time.
