The Tosspints
"The band opened its performance with a sustained chord and a shout to the crowd—a cymbal crashed, and they were off!, barreling into their 45-minute set with all the kinetic energy Newton's laws of motion allow for a three-piece Celtic punk rock band. From there, the momentum only amplified." -Jeremy Benson, 360mainstreet.com

Finding Bliss
The journey for Finding Bliss started as a complete and utter surprise. Before the band was essentially a group, guitarists Chris Truckner and Nick Fulara with drummer Justin Marlette were all overwhelmed by the world of Metal. They craved it and could not get enough. With their heavy metal roots bleeding from their guitar strings and pounding in the ears of their following, they abruptly decided to take an alternative approach; finding a rock singer and bassist. In October of 2009, vocalist Matt Dokman and bassist Dustin Jackson Hillert joined the trio, and so began the shift from Metal to a brand of Hard Rock, as Finding Bliss was officially a band.

Possessing a real "Staying Power" as some have described SMS and their music, they are not a fly-by-night act, crossing genres and decades of music.
