Razor & Tie is pleased to announce the addition of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida rockersNonpoint to its label and publishing rosters. The band has been on a major roll recently, having wrapped up a two year tour in support of their album Miracle with a triumphant show in front of 6,000 fans at Wisconsin's at Taste of Madison. The Miracle tour also saw other exciting benchmarks for the band, including performances at the Metal Hammer Awards, U.K's Download Festival and Australia's Soundwave Festival where they were the recipients of an MTV Soundie Award (courtesy of MTV Classic Australia). Nonpoint also re-established themselves at Active Rock radio with their hit "Miracle" breaking into the Top 15.

Nonpoint is already deep into writing their forthcoming new album having demo'd over two dozen songs. The new album is currently slated for a spring of 2012 release. 

"We couldn't be happier or more excited about our up-coming new partnership with Razor & Tie. Their aggressive staff and fresh plan of attack has us excited to get this record on the shelves and on the airwaves because I know they will reach for greatness and are as proud of being a part of this project as we are. We're very much looking forward to the next album cycle," comments Elias Soriano of Nonpoint.

Nonpoint Bassist Ken MacMillan Talks About His New Clothing Line "Bastard 10:31"

Vibrant, colorful, unique, crazy...squirrelly? All of these words describe Ken "Bastard" MacMillan, bassist of Nonpoint and his new clothes line "Bastard 10:31." Music is his profession and mastered art, but he has always had an urge to do more with other forms of art. By combining his incredible artistic talent with his truly one of a kind personality, he's started something that isn't about being cool, or having the latest "label" on your shirt, it's about being yourself, living, and being good to those living. HRR talked with the Bastard about the clothing line and what it means to him.

Aaron Manogue: Tell me where the idea for Bastard 10:31 came from? Have you always been interested in graphic/clothing design or just art as a whole?
Bastard: Ever since I went to college for art in Miami I've wanted to do my own shirts. I never cared about making a living at it. I just really enjoyed the idea of being able to make use of my artwork. Pictures on the wall are nice, but having clothing that is completely custom is way more useful. I finally got off my ass and had a couple designs run so that I could have my own stage gear. The natural progression was to offer those same designs to our fans. I fought for a long time about having to charge for the shirts because to me, art is about connection and communication. If there was a way I could just give my work away I would. But I need this stuff called "food", so that makes freebies a bit taxing on my survival.
