BrokeNCYDE

BrokeNCYDE is an American crunkcore and screamo band from Albuquerque, New Mexico, founded in 2006 by David "Se7en" Gallegos and Michael "Mikl" Shea. The band name came from the idea that their music was "broke inside" due to personal problems.

They fuse elements of screamo and electro music — what AllMusic described as combining screamo and crunk into a high-energy party music hybrid, also incorporating elements of pop rap, emo, and dance music. Their sound has also been dubbed "crunk punk" — a love-it-or-hate-it brew. 

Dot Dot Curve

Began making music in 2005 — initially just for laughs in a garage — before forming a group called "Scene Kidz" in 2006 and taking it to MySpace. After Scene Kidz broke up, he went solo and launched Dot Dot Curve in 2007. After posting a few songs on MySpace, the project took off, racking up hundreds of free downloads per day and over 2 million views. He then released his debut album Till the Wheels Fall Off and got signed to Standby/Victory Records. From there he went on several U.S. tours and had his CDs and merch sold in Hot Topic stores worldwide, with features in publications including AP Magazine and Kerrang!
