Rising Beats: The 2014 Third Quarter - Rock

We have come to the final four. That's good. A lot of good entries here. We will have a tough time judging this one. And that is a good thing, folks. If it's easy to pick the winner, why bother having a contest?

The least of the four, at least entry wise, is rock, which has eleven entries this quarter. A mix of old artists and new, which is always good to see. Let's get to it.

+Rekoncyle  is a band out of New Brunswick. Yeah, I know, don't laugh. I though it was crazy when a Heavy Metal band came out of Kentucky and called itself Bride. And Amy Munn gives the band a FFR edge, which not only is popular, but is better. Guys voices all sound the same these days. You get more variety with FFR bands. A Stryper album and a Michael Sweet Solo Project all in the same eligibility year. SWEET. (Sorry).  There is no link for Jonah 33. Right now it is an iTunes exclusive, and I am an Amazon Affiliate. Rap is next. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
