heyloband - When this is Over Alternative/Alt.

Qwiet Type - I Want More Alternative/Alt. Rock, Pop, Indie Dance Florida, United States Overall Impression: Fusing synth-heavy electro-pop with big-sounding arena rock sensibilities, Qwiet Type's genre-bending "I Want More" is what happens when a number of distinct styles are confidently sprayed across a blank creative canvas, it's not easy effectively blending styles together in such an inspired manner but Qwiet Type does it brilliantly, giving listeners an experience that stylishly transcends the confines of any one given genre with both great artistic flair and alluring gusto. A strong lead vocal performance leads the charge whilst a tantalizing production ensures every bombastic drum hit, synth element, and gloriously dirty overdriven guitar part hits hard, and whether you're a pop, rock, electro, or alternative lover, there's definitely plenty on offer for a broad range of music lovers to enjoy here, myself definitely included. ...

Redline Zero - Means to an End Alternative/Alt. Rock, Rock, Grunge Tennessee, United States Overall Impression: Nashville-based Rock band Redline Zero has released their new song Means To An End. Bristling with attitude and exploding with gritty guitars, Means To An End is a 90's rocker's wet dream come true. This grungy, loud, Rock tune holds nothing back and is gone in a flash. From beginning to end it seems to walk on a tight rope, holding the listener in suspense as to whether or not it will implode. This is due in part to the vocals, which ignite a wildness perfect for the song's energy. The guitar solos cut through with a hardened, volatile sound, and match the overloaded intensity of the tune. Overall, Means To An End shows a lot of promise for Redline Zero. It has all of the edge, ripping guitars, and in-your-face vocals needed for a killer Rock tune. Strongest Point(s): Means To An End is a solid Rock tune all around. It has a killer Grun...
