With a self-proclaimed cliché hardcore name, Louisiana quartet Twelve Gauge Valentine is Jon Green (vocals), Jonathon Cooper (bass), Josh White (guitar), and Jonathan Webster (drums). The members had played screamo under a different name before adapting to a mix of metal and hardcore. Sound vs. Silence was supporting TGV until the band caught the attention of Solid State (part of Tooth & Nail), which released Shock Value in October 2006. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
