Messengers sign with Facedown/Strike First

Facedown Records imprint Strike First Records has official signed Texas-based hardcore band Messengers. The group will release an EP titled "Anthems" on November 9th. The release's title track can be heard here. Vocalist Chad Paramore comments: "Signing to Strike First really is a dream come true. We have followed Facedown for years and years and it became a huge motivation to us. We have seen the bands that shine on Strike First be pushed up to Facedown, so even having this stepping stone makes us that much closer to being a part of the Facedown Family. We already feel like we are part of the family. The whole team has treated us with the up most respect and we could not ask for anything more."

First Post. The drummer Noah and the vocalist Chad are super solid dudes. I met them a few years back when they were still Donna Mea.What a trip!

Isn't it "utmost"? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/utmost

Also, naming your EP "Anthems" is kind of wishful thinking, bloated and silly.
