Several bands decided to call it quits this year, including Ocean Is Theory and Battery’s A Plea For Purging, The Chariot and Inhale Exhale. Underoath played their final shows in January and released their anthology album. Many new projects have sprung up from those departures, such as The Chariot frontman Josh Scogin’s new band ‘68 and Inhale Exhale’s Ryland Raus releasing his first solo track “Keep Me With You.” Benjamin Dunn and the Animal Orchestra are also gone forever… but don’t worry, they just changed their name to The Wild Wild.

A few RadioU artists went into the expanded media game this year, the biggest of which was Switchfoot’s feature-length documentary Fading West. Other releases included August Burns Red’s Foriegn & Familiar CD/DVD live tour package, For Today’s Prevailer EP that contained 90 minutes of Warped Tour Footage, and Twenty One Pilots’ Live at the LC concert performance from their sold out show in Columbus Ohio, which was eventually ran on the Palladia network in HD.
