I must be in a bit of an aggressive mood as of late. I’m working my butt off with this library thing and kicking a little bit of a cold thing in the butt. An opportunity came across my screen late yesterday afternoon and I nearly missed it as it somehow got routed to the trash of my email program – doh!
I’m sitting here this morning listening to a couple of songs that I need to know how to play and sing tomorrow morning at 10:50 in the morning – as well as performing them in a manner that would make sense for the band that is looking for a new member. I’m writing out the lyrics and stuffing the guitar parts in my head as I’m writing this. I’m excited for the opportunity. It should be fun.
Since I’m on a limited amount of time while I’m working out the last pieces of additional data for the library and needing to learn two songs I will cut my rambling short and leave you with a cool aggressive tune by a band called Breaking Benjamin called I Will Not Bow. They have a cool modern sound. I particularly like the syncopation of the rhythm going on right now in this song. It’s got a cool headbobbing thing to me along with being powerful. In a way I get a feeling that there’s an influence from Nickleback with a much darker and heavier sense to the music. They certainly have a clear idea of what their sound is and I really like that.
I’m sure there’s a lot of Breaking Benjamin fans out there who are catching their current tour which is going on now. If you’re diggin the tune make sure you get out to see them live! Oh and get the release at iTunes.
