Aggressive, in your face rock and roll!!


4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?

Black Stone Cherry, The Dead Daisies, and Godsmack.

It's a good tool, as long as it doesn't take out the human connection from writing and the relationship between the performance and listener.

Indifferent. As long as it means something to you, it's still rock and roll!
