The Soundwave 2012 lineup has finally been announced, well the first 61 bands. Not really that much to get excited about unless you're a huge fan of bounce metal. The Cro Mags, Street Dogs, Raised Fist, Hatebreed and Biohazard are probably the bands people are most looking forward too for a sideshow.
