Nestled in the Buckeye State commonly known as Ohio is a band that is hotter than hell and aptly goes by the name Devilstrip.

Call of All have yet to release its full-length album or tour nationally, but the buzz alone on the band’s single, “War and Illusion,” has created a solid and faithful fan base.

Ages Apart are young, determined and bursting with ambition. The band has been described as Hard Rock, Alternative, Post-Grunge, Metal Core, and just plain Rock. Adjectives like “angst-ridden,” “fiery,” “visceral,” “searching” and “brash” usually follow in an attempt to define what the band is all about.
