The rock crew known as DarkFromDayOne have released their latest single, “All I Can Say.” The track is the first glimpse of their upcoming full-length sophomore album, “Love Without Pain,” due to drop in fall of 2014. It is their most significant official release since their debut LP, “The Fire Within,” appeared on digital shelves around the globe in 2012. Arresting, throttling, and charged with adrenaline, emotion and aggression, “All I Can Say” by DarkFromDayOne is vicious alt- rock for this brutally modern era.
DarkFromDayOne cite as main artistic influences a slew of seminal and innovative bands from the alternative music canon, including Nirvana, Tool, P.O.D., and Korn, into which base they stir attributes of more traditional metal makers, such as Pantera, Metallica and Black Sabbath. This results in a sonic alloy which is both melodic and chunky, guided by epic songwriting characterized by sweeping bridges and towering crescendos, measurable in terms of impact on the Richter scale.
Speaking of the messages their single and upcoming second LP may have in store for fans and new listeners, DarkFromDayOne guitarist Red Beard writes, “Our mission and message is to invoke hope and love into your soul, body, and spirit through our music. In essence, to connect and share life together, reaching for happiness.”
The name of the band further signifies their inherent compassion for humanity at large. Their official bio begins with a short manifesto which reads, “In the beginning, we are born unto this earth innocent, not knowing the pressure of stress, nor the evils that humanity is capable of. We just know to embrace life. Our hope is that life will never be anything short of extraordinary. Therefore, we are in the dark from day one.”
Originally formed in Russellville, AR in 2006, DarkFromDayOne currently hails from nearby Knoxville. They have performed with such bands as Korn, Mudvayne, Black Label Society, Static-X, Bury Your Dead, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, Avenged Sevenfold, and many more. Their debut single, “New Addiction” can be purchased for download on the Rockband Network for Xbox 360. They have consistently topped charts over such acts as Korn and Lamb of God across North America. Their new single, “All I Can Say,” first debuted on July 8th on iHeart Radio and Arkansas' KDJE 100.3 Fm, the Edge.
“All I Can Say” by DarkFromDayOne is available online worldwide.

Ian Thompson of Cricket Cemetery emerged from the fertile DC underground music/art scene and began his label pressing custom vinyl for punk and hardcore bands like The Shirks, Thick Skin, Beasts of No Nation, Dealbreaker and others. But Thompson is a musical polymath and he has proven it by signing local hip hop artists Uptown XO and Sean Born, avant garde duo Janel & Anthony, poppy folk duo Paint Branch, shoegazey The Tender Thrill, punkers Loud Boyz, grind metal band Purge, newcomers Putrisect, cerebral indie rock band Passing Phases and garage punks Highway Cross. Ian elaborates: "I can't comment on the importance of local music scenes. I've never really belonged to one, nor do I care. I grew up in hardcore, punk, hip hop and indie rock but I claim no affiliation. I affiliate myself with what I know and what I live for. I do what I want, and I all I want is to put out records for the bands I like and not starve to death in the process. Cricket Cemetery welcomes you."
