There is nothing negative you can say about this song. Simply beautiful. RIP Layne.

This band hired my company to create their MySpace page right before the fall of the social media giant. The cool thing about these guys is they’re actually good! I’ve done a ton of bands pages and always had to compliment the crap to make the sale, but this was genuine. I still crank this out on regular basis, so definitely check these guys out!

So true the words of this man. A story about the soldiers of war, in a different light.

This song just about lays out the way I feel about my wife Jill. Beautiful, beautiful song.

Love the intro to this track. Single string, compressed to hell rhythm track…“This Is My LIFE!” BOOM!! MPB comes right in with a Louisville to the face!!

This record gave me hope. FINALLY! Machine Head was back with a damn vengeance! I was so tired of those other crap ass records these dudes were putting out, it was straight up shameful!! This record brings it back to the way I remembered it, but to a whole other level of insanity! Kudos Mr. Flynn!

Just a cool ass track to chill out to. Hope she’s better wherever she is.

Hardcore is not always hard. Though you may not categorize BoySetsFire in that genre normally, they do fit right in with their own brand of anger that demonstrates the use of melody in just the right places. This track is one of their more lighter notes, but strong nonetheless.

This song gave me inspiration to just overcome any type of adversity in my life. “I’ve been taught to get the fuck up, to dust myself off and to do it again!” - Dez

Atreyu has become a band that I now consider a guilty pleasure. Yes, I like this song and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

These cats hired me to hookup their MySpace page and I’ve been listening ever since. I was fortunate to catch them live in Brooklyn opening up for another band I hooked up. These dudes are just good old southern boys playing their Gibsons and drinking whiskey!

This song was most likely the first song I ever heard by the old Rain Dog. I had the pleasure of working for the company that was responsible for shopping the album to all retail outlets and making sure promo materials were in prominent locations. Anyway, the best way to listen to this track is to save it for a rainy day…literally. Thunderstorm rolls in, window is slightly open, the smell of rain comes in and the skies are a beautiful gray…now press play.

My wife introduced me to this band back when we first started dating - and I thank her for that! This song is my favorite off of “Feeding The Wolves”, mainly because of melodies. I am a sucker for great melodies, and if you can pull that off with great verses, you got me hook line and sinker.

This whole record was a sick idea from the start! Great collars all around and what we have here is one of my favorites. Rob Flynn, Howard Jones and a slew of others give you metal in its purest form. Sick rhythm, double bass, off time signatures, melodies and breakdowns - not much more to it!

This song reminds me of my kids, my wife, my life - and how great it is.

I have nothing but love for the fellas in Cypress Hill. They’ve been rocking’ in my headphones since 1992 when they dropped “…Kill a Man”. Every record, every track, every verse is f'n genius! Latest record is nothing less!
