Seems interesting. With my christian/gospel music I like to hear passion. This seems more instrumental based but seems interesting nonetheless. Thanks!

Mainstream rock acts are pure garbage. What else is new?

Meanwhile, there are artists like ****ed Up!, Parquet Courts, Ty Segal and countless others that are keeping the tradition of hard rock alive. At the very least, I don't know how someone can listen to Jack White or the Black Keys and not hear genuine, pure rock and roll there.

Wait, why isn't this thread closed? Has nobody argumented the hell out of why rock music isn't dead yet?

There is a lot of great music out there, but its overshadowed by mainstream bs! I you dig deep enough you will discover some great rock. The only problem is that there are alot of awesome bands who dont make it, not because they suck, but because of a lacking audience!

Everybody wants to support the garbage. But that's why I do my best to support the underground Rock. A lot of those bands are great, original as they can be. I listen to my share of more commercial bands too, but even those I don't consider to be so far in, as say Nickelback is; poster child of Rock, right there...like it or not, and I despise the band.

But. It is what it is. People listen to what they like, whether or not the band has anything to offer.

Go underground. You'll find the stuff worth listening to.
