Soundgarden "Live to Rise"

Are they too old to rock? Can the band come together and make good music again? Both these questions have been answered in the song Live to Rise.  The bands newest single was highlighted in the Avengers movie. Which was a great movie in its own right.  But we are talking about soundgarden right now.  Chris Cornell's trademark vocals are back and he shows the new generation why they are such a great band.  The subtle dynamics of the intro build into a smooth verse then the chorus hits straight in the face.  Not to be overshadowed by the vocals the guitarist lays down a solid performance from the intro to the solo all in all a good song for 2012.  Music Lives!!!

Awolnation "Not Your Fault"

Harmonic genius is with the creative mind of Awolnation.  He  combines a harmonic vocal rhythms with a synthesized keyboard accompanied by other digital tones.  This one man bad has composed a modern masterpiece in Not your Fault.  Good song, Music Lives!!!

Horrible Crowes "Lady Killer"

Now this band makes you feel like your there live hearing this song for the first time, every time you hear it.  The raspy vocals laid down by the lead singer make you feel every word.  The guitar player combines subtle harmonies that blend with the vocals to create a unique sound that can't be duplicated.  Taking nothing away from the solid performance from the rhythm section because without their solid timing and dynamics this song would hit with less than half the power it delivers, leaving you wanting.  Good song, Music Lives!!!
