Unparalleled Height – Strength Through Silence

Who They Are:  Unparalleled Height’s unique writing style takes influence from many artists and styles of music therefore giving a unique, unmatched sound. For Unparalleled Height, the focus of writing inspirational and motivational lyrics is equally as important as the sound of their songs. The band has high aspirations to help those in need as well as those looking for support and motivation in their lives.

Why I Like Them: Where would I even start? I can’t say I heard any thing in this song I didn’t like. I wasn’t sold at first though in all honesty. My first thought was that the lyrics seemed a bit off with their style of music. I however was wrong. I don’t listen to a lot of metal that makes you feel hope. I know that sounds weird, metal and hope in the same sentence but it works I tell you! As uplifting as the song is, it constantly beats you with some seriously sizzling guitars insane drum work and a solo worthy of gold stars on Rock Band if you know what I mean. All things being equal this was a bad ass track.

Would I listen to More of Their Stuff: Duh, yeah.

Unparalleled Height Is:

Mongrel – Snakes

Who They Are: Mongrel, by definition, is a mixed-breed, and this female fronted band known as “The hardest working band in Boston” (Metal Edge) lives up to its name. Fronted by Jessica Sierra, who has drawn comparisons to great vocalists ranging from Janis to Otep, the band mixes its hard rock, punk, and metal influences to rave reviews. With Evolution, the band members diverse styles come together better than ever.

Why I like It: I’m a big fan of the crunchy guitar. You know what I’m talking about right? Mongrel’s “Snakes” it a perfect example of the crunchy guitar style. I dig the vibe on this track, it’s perfectly bitchy in the right way. I like a band that can get as pissed as I do over certain things. Listen to the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean. Jessica’s vocals are nothing short of awesome and the comparisons I’ve seen about her are right on track.

Would I Listen To More of Their Stuff: Yes. I’m hoping that in other tracks there is more of the frustration/anger that I heard in “Snakes”.

Mongrel Is:

Jessica Sierra – vocals
Adam Savage – guitar
Michael Ariza – bass
Mike Hogan – drums

Stitched Up Heart – Frankenstein

Who They Are: Born in Oct, 2010, out of the tearing ends of 4 different groups; Mixi, High Risk, Never Like The Movies, and Sexual Harassment, The band sowed their seams together to form STITCHED UP HEART.

Why I Like It: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love powerful vocals. Male or female makes no never mind to me. But once this song kicks into high gear Mixi’s vocals really scream to the forefront and I mean that literally. These guys are delivering a pulse pounding beat that matches the vocals to a T. Very reminiscent of Maria Brinks voice in those moments where Mixi really goes for broke.

Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Absolutely. I think that there is a reason that this band has such a following. If you haven’t heard them, your missing out.

Stitched Up Heart Is:

Who They Are: I couldn’t find a ton of information about this band. So I’ll say this: they are a bunch of cool dudes.

EverSay – This Time

Who They Are: Drinking from the same well as some of Rock’s most legendary bands, EverSay calls Middleburg, FL home. With powerhouse vocals, chugging guitars, and intense drumming, they’re in the business of rock and roll. Their self-titled EP is fresh off the press along with plans to follow up with a major studio album next year. Fronted by Blake Dawson, and signed and produced by Ronnie Winter from the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, the band’s voice is ready to be heard. Jump on the EverSay train… it’s full steam ahead!

Why I Like It: I’m always a fan of a chick that can wail. Blake Dawson in my opinion is well equipped to carry the torch along side the likes of Hayley Williams. The boys in the band are no slackers either. This song makes me wanna get up and shake my ass and honestly that is one of the best compliments I can pay to a song.

Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: I’m willing to give any thing this band does a try. Ok, well maybe not if they put out a Polka album. But then again…

EverSay Are:

Blake Dawson – i have surround sound…..
Kyle McDonald – i keep it on the down low…..
Joel McDonald – i beat on stuff…..

Spider Rockets – Going Down

Who They Are: Loud rock has always been at the core of the group. Lead singer, Helena Cos, and guitarist, Johnny Nap, started as a duo playing every dive bar in New Jersey and New York City. In between cranking out crowd favorites from AC/DC, Judas Priest, Guns n’ Roses and Metallica, the two would test the waters by infusing some of their original material. This was a unique setup as the two had an electronic rhythm section and pumped out loud rock, something unheard of in the genre.

Why I liked It: I can’t even begin to explain why I love this track. There are just to many reasons to put it on your playlist. From the punkish vocals to the pounding drums and a guitar riff worth learning. This song makes me want to pull out my copy of Rock Band and kick some musical ass.

Would I Listen To More of Their Stuff: Absolutely. A lot of the new music that’s come out lately has left me feeling a bit flat. Finding Spider Rockets was a wonderful infusion of new music I can get behind.

Spider Rockets Are:
Helena Cos – lead vocals
Johnny Nap – lead guitar, backing vocals
Dan Prestup – drums
Greg Manning – bass guitar, backing vocals
