1st Annual Abrasive Rock Unsigned Showcase Tour - featuring 'Subjekt 2 Change'

OLYMPIA, WA - Aug. 2, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- For almost half a decade, Abrasive
Rock (www.abrasiverock.com) has worked hard to cover the best in heavy music. This has
meant trying to maintain a balance between well known artists with a solid following,
and the unknown bands from 'nobody' towns that are just as (if not more) talented.
Abrasive Rock founder, Mark Carras explains, "We're sponsoring this tour in the spirit
of giving these unsigned bands a better chance of getting noticed."

The band Abrasive Rock has picked to kick off this annual series is none other than
Seattle's own Subjekt 2 Change (aka S2C).  Carras states, "The band's unique blend of
old school punk rock energy and metal guitar crunch creates a sound we feel is not only
more original than most bands getting signed today, but also more exciting to watch
live.  Consider this your invitation to come see one of the most amazing bands to come
out in the past several years!"

Tour dates are as follows:

	Saturday, August 7th at The Graceland  in Seattle, WA, (with Zeke, and The
	Accused)

	Friday, August 13th at Reid's PitStop in Longview, WA

	Saturday, August 14th at The Triangle Inn in Salem, OR

	Monday, August 15th at Black Forest in Eugene, OR

	Tuesday, August 17th at The Cherry Bar & Lounge in San Francisco, CA

	Wednesday, August 18th (venue T.B.A.) in Los Angles, CA

	Friday, August 20th at The U&I Bar & Grill in Portland, OR and

	Saturday, August 21st at The Lakepointe Bar & Grill in Kenmore, WA

If any label, management company, or publication would like to come see the band on the
August 18th date in Los Angeles (or any other date), please contact Mark at Abrasive Rock
