The Results are IN! Here’s how it works: I’ll be posting two versions of the same song and after you give a listen to each, place your vote for your favorite and reason for the way you voted in the comments section. The Battles take place on or around the 1st and 15th of each month, and the results will be posted on or around the 7th and 21st. As I only post Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, the posting date will be closest to those dates as possible. The other blogs participating in the Battle of the Bands are posting different battles (different songs), So once you’re done voting and commenting on my battle, take a moment to visit the other participants and vote & comment on their battles.  There are some really good battles going on!

All That Remains is an American heavy metal band from Springfield, Massachusetts, formed in 1998. They have released seven studio albums, a live CD/DVD, and have sold over a million records worldwide. The group consists of vocalist Philip Labonte, guitarists Oli Herbert and Mike Martin, bassist Aaron Patrick and former Diecast drummer Jason Costa, with Labonte and Herbert being the only two original members. In spite of this, the band's line-up had remained consistent from the release of 2008's Overcome until 2015's The Order of Things, spanning four albums. This line-up changed, however, in September 2015, when long-time bassist Jeanne Sagan left the band, with Patrick taking her place.

The other day one of my Facebook friends posted a video in their newsfeed of a band that I had never heard of. I gave the video a listen, and I have to say that I kind of dig their sound. So, today's post I'm sharing information about the band in hopes to get their name out there just a little bit more.

The Pixies have just announced another new album "Head Carrier" coming out September 30, of this year. And they have just released their first single from that new album.

Ray Toro has written a new song, and I think it speaks volumes right now. He has a debut album that is still in the works. But because of all that is going on around us, I wanted to share this newest song of his with you.
