Starter Kit is a blend of rock harmonies with breakdowns and even some lighter melodies all mixed up. The band has officially released their sophomore EP "Unsettled". "Unsettled" is a carefully crafted disc built with a combination of the band's various musical influences. They are planning to promote the new album with their energetic live show and are working on a Midwest tour to support this release in early 2010..
Starter Kit released their first EP "Secrets" in September 2007 and received rave reviews. In support of Secrets, the band played many shows including opening for My Chemical Romance and Lucky Boys Confusion to name a few. Secrets has been re-released on Window Licker and is now available for purchase on the Window Licker Records online store

READY...BREAK!
Comprised of members of many former Chicago-based bands, Ready...Break! brings something refreshing to show-goers. With a horn section and a resident rapper, they achieve a sound that can truly be described as "Less Than Jake meets Zebrahead".

READY THE DESTROYER
Imagine a power that uses sound to create, manipulate, or destroy -- an entity for good or evil. Teetering on the edge of sanity and nearly impossible to control, this force can be seen as a weapon. And yet, to make it Through This Night and bring light to darkness, we have no choice but to Ready the Destroyer.

DIAGRAM OF TRUTH
Diagram Of Truth is an ever changing entity, and the sound they imply is whatever you make it to be. Although a box is not attached to their songs, they are rooted in hip hop music. Ranging from a fun and energetic attitude to a dark and melancholy atmosphere, the duo fully captures each mood lyrically and musically but leaves it to the audience to ascertain.

WITHOUT A BREATH

Withoutabreath has finished their single "It Won't Be Long" that is available now. A four song EP is scheduled to be released in Fall 2009.

damn adam. that's the longest rep for a show I've read from you guys yet! I think a " oui si only you at..." woulda done the job, but then we wouldn't have your wonderful sense of humor to witness that I've come to love. You'll get one of my infamous comments back on here when I think of one
Don't you hate it when lame ass Rock bands from Chicago, whom you foolishly befriended months ago, randomly appear in comment form to invite you out to their inane shows as if they believe you're gullible enough (you know gullible isn't in the dictionary, right?!) and/or lacking in a social life to actually come hang? Me too. Good thing we're not much of a band or this would be awkward! Awkward like the first dance between two hormone raging teens going through puberty, haha! Alas, it's us, Oui Si Only You, in our most impersonal social networking form. Sorry to get you all excited to read your new comment only to be disappointed like a jilted lover on prom night. It's not all bad, at least we didn't do one of those weird, "Do you like me?" comments, right? I don't think our fragile hearts could have taken the answer to that one! Any who, we're rocking (I know, debatable right, but whether it's master debatable remains the ultimate conundrum!) our last few shows for the year out at a few splendid, unknown little Chicago establishments called Double Door (1572 N. Milwaukee Ave; 21+) on Wed. Nov. 18th at 8pm and Reggie's Rock Club (2109 S. State St.; 17+) on Sat. Nov. 28th at 7pm. We could all perish happily . . . if that's possible . . . knowing you came out and mocked our uninspired /downright ignorant brand of music along with our A.D.D. riddled stage energy. Peace face.
