Counterparts

A fierce hardcore band with a relentless, technically precise attack, Counterparts formed in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 2007. In 2009, Counterparts signed with the Canadian punk label Verona Records, which released the band's debut album, Prophets, in 2010. Following lots of road work in Canada and the United States, Counterparts struck a deal with the American independent label Victory Records in 2011, and began work on their second album. Counterparts' first album for Victory, The Current Will Carry Us, appeared in the fall of 2011, and once again the band hit the road. In July 2013, they returned with their third full-length album, The Difference Between Hell and Home. ~ Mark Deming
