Band interests: Going to the gym, golfing, hanging with friends, and RAGING Creekview: https://www.facebook.com/Creekviewny Swinging out of suburbia into Buffalos pop punk scene is Creekview. Drawing influences from numerous bands, such as The Wonder Years and The Story So Far, Creekview is showing that they are ready to roll in with a strong work ethic, preparation, and a determination on making a name for themselves. The four high school friends after a few years of growing up together are ready to emerge as the pop punk band-to-see in Buffalo. Yesterday Vs Tomorrow: https://www.facebook.com/YesterdayVs.Tomorrow Roll down the windows and mindlessly sing along, throw some headphones on and dance while you vacuum. Those small things in life are part of its beauty, after all. & I say that yeah, were those weird people that talk about that Jesus guy and say that its good to follow Him, but its more than that. Yesterday Vs. Tomorrow exists to tell you that you are loved. We care about every punk kid, local music fan, and friend of ours that is reading this and listening to us, or choosing not to listen to us. Because love is even bigger than life, and those preachers on tv and picketers saying that God hates homosexuals, or that God hates anyone at all are wrong. And were here to tell you that that impostor of a god theyre selling isnt real. The real God is love, and He put you here, not once, but every morning you wake up, for a purpose. You matter. No matter what anyone says. Youre still here, arent you?

Into Light, featuring music dealing with subjects of light and darkness, life and death, Lent and repentance.

Order forms for the 2014 Conservation Tree and Shrub Seedling Sale are now available from Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District. The District is offering many varieties of conservation trees and shrubs, wildflower seed mixes, and seedling packets which have combinations of trees and shrubs chosen to attract, feed and shelter birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Landowners can practice conservation by planting seedlings and wildflowers to provide wildlife food and habitat, shelter crops and landscape, reduce heating/cooling expenses, protect water quality, reduce air pollution, and stabilize erodible land. Seedlings are also an inexpensive alternative for replacing trees that have been damaged or lost. Thirty-two species of trees and shrubs are available this year. The one-to-three-year-old bare root seedlings, which range in size from 6 to 24 inches, are available in lots of 10 to 500. The District is offering an expanded selection of four-year-old evergreen transplants which are more mature trees with thicker stems, more branching and more developed roots. New seedling introductions to the 2014 program are black chokeberry and spicebush which are excellent shrubs for pollinator insects including butterflies and bees. The District also stocks marking flags, fertilizer tablets, and tree shelters to help promote the success of your plantings.

For The Music Productions Presents: The Human Condition with: Vitalist, At World's End, Into The Harbor, Between Us & Tides, & Mk Ultra! Monday, February 10th $7.00 pre-sale, $10.00 day of show All Ages (under 18 should be accompanied by a guardian) Doors open at 6:00pm For tickets, call: (716) 831-3271 or order online at: http://mapleentcom.tunestub.com/show.cfm?id=136344 --- The Human Condition: https://www.facebook.com/ThehumanconditionTN Late 2011 marked the beginning of Nashville metal's leading act, The Human Condition. From the ashes of Goodbye Apathy, The Human Condition rose to prominence quickly and forcefully, capturing the ears and eyes of show-goers and social network addicts with their intelligent songwriting and professional presentation. The term, "The Human Condition", encompasses every action, thought, and emotion into a single motive. The pursuit of meaning. The band, like it's namesake, strives to instill this into every note and word written. Self releasing the debut album, "Death Blessings", in January 2012 sparked the rise from being a hometown great to touring regionally and leaving a lasting impression on each crowd. Currently preparing for their maiden full North American tour in Summer 2013, The Human Condition is hard at work on their next full length album. Hoping and daring to be original amongst the countless other up and coming bands is a challenge. A challenge that The Human Condition is taking in stride with the hopes of becoming the future of American Metalcore. with: Vitalist: https://www.facebook.com/VitalistNY After taking a 3 month hiatus, the Deathcore/Djent group, Artemis, found themselves at a very interesting crossroad. Given the choice to completely reformulate a band that was already established, or start from scratch. With some discussions taking place, the 4 decided to start again, only this time with a new goal in mind. Success. Currently the group is preparing to stomp back on to the scene in a new town, Rochester NY. At World's End: https://www.facebook.com/AtWorldsEndMusic 'We are a driven group of musicians that our goal is to do one thing and that's play music that we love and enjoy, this band is not angry because we just wanna be "that angry band", We're angry because this is the way we outlet our emotions in ways that don't hurt others. This is our positive reinforcement and outlet of life's bull shit and how you get fucked around or fucked with by life and the shitty people in this world and were just here to tell our story and hope that you can possibly relate in some way. We will be releasing a full length in the near future anywhere between the end of 2013 and the start of 2014 called "The Grudge Match"just keep a look out because we're only getting heavier ;)' Into The Harbor: https://www.facebook.com/IntoTheHarbor Metalcore band from Rochester, New York. "We are just a few friends that love playing music no matter what we do with it. If you like our music, share the page and tell your friends." Between Us and Tides: https://www.facebook.com/BetweenUsAndTides Between Us and Tides started as a project in the summer of 2011 by Marco and Caleb solidified with the addition of Collin, Josh and Nick. Between Us and Tides had finally developed a full line up by the fall of 2013. 2 years of hard work and commitment was the key to keeping the once unknown project alive. After a few short months of re-developing our sound, we ended up having our first show at cruisers sports bar on October 26th. We currently are in the studio recording a 3 track demo for you guys. We're here for the fun and to help spread the word for any local band out there! We're pretty stoked to release what we have in store for you guys. So keep supporting your locals and stay tuned! & Mk Ultra: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mk-Ultra/552652248160521 4 musicians who love to play all original metal, rock, and punk. vocals/guitar- Mike Zamerski, Bass Guitar- Matt Nolan, Guitar- Simon Hall, Drums- Ray --- Monday, February 10th $7.00 pre-sale, $10.00 day of show All Ages (under 18 should be accompanied by a guardian) Doors open at 6:00pm at: The Forvm Maple Ridge Plaza 4224 Maple Rd. @ Sweet Home Buffalo, NY 14226

Order forms for the 2014 Conservation Tree and Shrub Seedling Sale are now available from Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District. The District is offering many varieties of conservation trees and shrubs, wildflower seed mixes, and seedling packets which have combinations of trees and shrubs chosen to attract, feed and shelter birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Landowners can practice conservation by planting seedlings and wildflowers to provide wildlife food and habitat, shelter crops and landscape, reduce heating/cooling expenses, protect water quality, reduce air pollution, and stabilize erodible land. Seedlings are also an inexpensive alternative for replacing trees that have been damaged or lost. Thirty-two species of trees and shrubs are available this year. The one-to-three-year-old bare root seedlings, which range in size from 6 to 24 inches, are available in lots of 10 to 500. The District is offering an expanded selection of four-year-old evergreen transplants which are more mature trees with thicker stems, more branching and more developed roots. New seedling introductions to the 2014 program are black chokeberry and spicebush which are excellent shrubs for pollinator insects including butterflies and bees. The District also stocks marking flags, fertilizer tablets, and tree shelters to help promote the success of your plantings. Bluebird nest boxes can be ordered through the program or be purchased at the District office. Order forms may be obtained by stopping at the District office at 50 Commerce Way in East Aurora (behind Post Office), by calling (716) 652-8480 ext. 5, or by printing the order form from the District website at www.ecswcd.org.
