10 Years Debuts Solid Third Album
Recently, hard rock quartet Ten Years has released their third major label album and their heaviest to date. Feeding The Wolves is full of heavy guitar rifts and ghostly clear vocals. Composed of vocalist Jesse Hasek, drummer Brian Vondihn, bassist Lewis Crosby, and guitarist Ryan Johnson. After releasing an independently recorded album, former lead singer Mike Underdown left and current vocalist Jesse Hasek stepped in. Soon after, in 2005 they signed with Independent Records and eventually released their debut album The Autumn Effect. The major single “Wasteland” would go 12 weeks on the rock charts and would later hit #1 in December of 2005. After a sophomore album Division fell flat, 10 Years is back with their heaviest and best album yet, Feeding the Wolves. Their latest album is highlighted with heavy riffs from Ryan Johnson mixed with haunting vocals from Jesse Hasek.
The opening track off the CD is their debut single “Shoot it Out,” beginning with chilling half whisper half chant before busting into a very heavy song about standing up for what you believe in. Following up is a very dark and creepy track titled, “The Wicked Ones,” an anthem for the outcasts and unconformities. Later on comes a very catchy track titled, “Fix Me,” this will mostly likely be the next song to see airtime on the radio. It is a very deep song about not needing help from people and being able to figure things out on your own. About halfway through the CD, the band decides to turn down the aggression and show a more vulnerable side with a love song called, “Don’t Fight It,” highlighted with beautiful acoustic guitar playing by Johnson and Hasek’s powerful voice. This is followed by a few more heavier songs to complete the album. Those who want a little something extra can purchase the deluxe edition for a few more dollars which includes acoustic cuts of “Shoot it Out,” and “Fix Me,” and also a special bonus track titled, “Silhouette of a Life.”
10 Years is tearing through the rock charts with their best and most mature album yet. Johnson’s guitar playing and Hasek’s gorgeous vocals melt together to make a beautiful sound. Those who are fans of heavy metal and rock should quench your thirst for new music by picking up Feeding The Wolves.

Smile Empty Soul Kicks Off Tour in Lancaster
“We’re just ready to get sweaty,” says Sean Danielson with a grin while preparing to take the stage. Sean is one third of the rock trio Smile Empty Soul who recently kicked off their headlining tour at The Chameleon Club in Lancaster. Hailing from Santa Clara, California in 1998, the trio quickly caught attention with the hit “Bottom of a Bottle.” After a few other hits SES has returned with the new single “We’re Through,” and kicked off their tour in Lancaster. On July 29th, Smile Empty Soul took the stage for a performance filled with hair and energy.
Opening were local acts Grey West and Evelyn’s Ashes, followed by New York rockers Edisun. “I’m just anxious,” says bass player Ryan Martin, “We haven’t played in a while because we have been busy doing press stuff in New York.”
The trio took stage to a large crowd, buzzing with excitement. They started off with two heavy and older songs titled. “Out to Sea,” and “Saturday.” Next, the band played their upcoming single “We’re Through,” which debuts on radio August 10th. The setlist continued with a few more older songs and then finally kicked into gear with SES’s biggest hit to date, “Bottom of the Bottle.” It was easy to tell adrenaline was pumping through both the group and the crowd. Following were a few more mellow songs until finally concluding with their last single released, “Don’t Ever Leave,” as the crowd erupted, truly welcoming Smile Empty Soul to Lancaster.
This is just the beginning for a long touring stint, the headlining tour lasts seven and a half weeks, followed by a small break, then they hit the road with 12 Stones on a Fall co headlining tour. “I think our latest CD progresses us even farther for us,” says Singer/Guitarist Sean Danielson. “Yeah, comments Drummer Jake Kilmer, It just puts more material out for us, it’s just more music to establish us.”
The long time on the road has it’s hardships, “ I’m gonna miss having a bed that’s not on a bus and not always moving,” Ryan says with a smile. Jake follows up, “Yeah, but once we get home, we miss being on the road, so it evens out.”
Look for SES to be getting bigger and help them out by requesting “We’re Through” on your local radio stations. The energy brought to The Chameleon Club was just a glimpse of the talent these guys have.

Saving Abel Returns With Stellar Sophmore Album
Recently, southern quintet rockers Saving Abel released their sophomore album Miss America. Formed in 2004 in Corinth, Mississippi by lead vocalist Jared Weeks and lead guitarist Jason Null. Composed of Jared Weeks (lead vocals), Jason Null (Lead Guitar), Scott Bartlett (Rhythm Guitar), Eric Taylor (Bass Guitar), and Blake Dixon (Drums). The band name was created by Jared Weeks and derived from the biblical story Cain and Abel. The group eventually caught the eye of producer Skidd Mills who signed them onto 747 Records.
Their single “Addicted” off the bands first album would later be leaked out and eventually made its way to Virgin A&R CEO Flom. Later Saving Abel released their first album and “Addicted” climbed its way up to #2 on the Billboard Rock Charts. The album itself would later rise to #49 on the Billboard Top 200.
Saving Abel now follows up with another stellar album, Miss America. This CD comes right out of the murky swamps of Mississippi and mixes in a little Cajun spice with the combination of edgy guitar riffs and twangy southern melodies. The album is highlighted with the popular, “Stupid Girl (Only in Hollywood),” a song geared towards trashing the air-headed ladies of Hollywood. The title track “Miss America” waves the red, white, and blue and talks about the hardships of fighting for our country.
It begins with two straightforward, hard rocking songs titled “Tap Out,” and “Contagious,” about breakups and leaving the relationships. These both set a good tone for the Album, grabbing the listeners attention. In the middle of the tracklist “I’m Still Alive,” shows the softer side of Saving Abel while adding String Instruments including the Violin. This is the first time Saving Abel has used other instruments in their songs and shows the variety they have. Another solid track is “Angel Without Wings,” a power ballad surely to blow the roof stadiums. The band finally shows it’s southern roots with two southern fried tracks titled “Mississippi Moonshine,” and “Hell of a Ride.” “Mississippi Moonshine” is slower twangy song about a mysterious southern girl, while “Hell of a Ride” is an old-fashioned hillbilly stomping song about leaving a lover and having a good time.
In their latest album, Saving Abel shows the growth and maturity of their music. They add new elements while still keeping the original roots of their music. Miss America is a beauty and should be checked out for sure.

Slash Debuts Solo Album
Almost anyone who listens to music, or at least rock music knows the great guitar player known as Slash. Well…for those of you that don’t let me catch you up. Born in England as Saul Hudson, Slash quickly began playing guitar and eventually formed the infamous band Gun’s and Roses. They then eventually became rock icons, selling millions of records and hitting #1 on the charts several times.
Sounds like that was his prime, right? Wrong, as of April of 2010, Slash has released his first ever solo album showcasing exclusive guitar skills, along with an all-star cast of vocalists and other well-known musicians. In an Interview with GuitarWorld Magazine, Slash explained that this solo idea was always an idea that he always wanted to pursue, after writing the songs, he just sat down and thought about who would be the perfect fit to perform that particular song.
The CD ranges in a wide variety for everyone. “ Beautiful Dangerous,” featuring the pop icon Fergie, mixes her synth-pop sound, with Slash’s intricate guitar melodies. Another is a song featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5 titled “Gotten.” The second song on the album titled “Crucify the Dead,” features none other than the prince of darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. Other songs feature Alterbridge’s lead vocalist Myles Kennedy with songs like “Back From Cali,” and “Starlight.” In my opinion, these songs highlight the album with a perfect fit of vocals and guitar. Both sound like old Gun’s and Roses, mixed in the a little Led Zeppelin.
Those who are a fan of more heavier music will enjoy tracks like “Doctor Alibi” featuring Lemmy Kilmeister of Motorhead, or “Nothing To Say,” featuring M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold. Each song showcases the perfect fit between music and musicians. The artist singing the song Sounds like they should be singing it. The CD also includes other famous artists such as Kid Rock, Iggy Pop, Chris Cornell, and even opera singer Rocco Deluca.
Along with the one of a kind sound of Slash’s guitar playing, both guitar and vocals melt together to form a fantastic sound. This CD is a lineup for everyone to enjoy. It is a great buy with fourteen songs that could easily be fourteen popular hits.

Indie Alternative Band Breaks Out of Its "Cage"
Up and coming band “Cage the Elephant,” has quickly taken music critics by surprise with the self-titled debut album Cage the Elephant. With all members hailing from Bowling Green, Kentucky this close nit family has emerged from their little town and has burst onto the alternative rock scene. Matt Shultz grew up very poor with his brother. He got his first guitar at age 12 and fell in love. He deeply admires Bob Dylan and how he viewed society and his ability to express it through music. Known for enthusiastic live shows and strong powered lyrics, Cage the Elephant has quickly become the talk of Indie critics. They have begun to create a style of all their own. Mixed between alterative and some R&B, this new combination makes for some very catchy guitar riffs and smooth-flowing, straight forward lyrics.
“The music comes from a pure place,” Matt (lead vocals) says. “We really like the energy of music that feels passionate, raw, unplanned emotion.”
The album begins with the catchy and addictive tune “In One Ear,” taking a shot at all the people (especially critics) that thought that he never could make it big with his music. With lyrics like “They say I’m just a stupid kid / another crazy radical / rock n’ roll is dead / I probably should have stayed in school / Another generation X / who somehow slipped up through the cracks / Oh they’d love to see me fall / But I’m already on my back,” it definitely begins with quite a song. The fourth song on the album, “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” The song talks about how everyone has a history, whether good or bad we’re basically all the same. Throughout the album Matt tackles all kinds of issues in the world, like corruption and hypocrisy (“James Brown“), and war and religion (“Lotus”). The lyrics really help shine through the bands opinions and frustrations on the problems in the world.
The album finally ends on the eleventh track titled “Free Love,” which is a fast paced, groovy tune talking about just that. It ends an album full of frustration and controversy with one thing that will stay unchanged, love. It wraps up an excellent album, showing the opinions and outlooks of some good ol’ musicians from Kentucky and how they feel about the world. I believe this is a great CD to pick up and check them out.

Lifehouse returns with yet another solid album
Some might describe the music of the pop/rock quartet Lifehouse as “like wine,“ the older the better. The older they become, the better their music seems to get. Almost a year after releasing the album Who We Are, Lifehouse has returned with yet another solid album titled Smoke and Mirrors. This was their fifth since debuting in 2000 with the vastly popular hit single, “Hanging by a Moment.” This was off their first album No Name Face, and the hit single later became the most played song of 2001. Still in their twenties, the guys in Lifehouse have an impressive resume. The group includes
Founding members Jason Wade and drummer Ricky Woolstenhulme Jr. met in Los Angeles and formed the band in the late 90s. The bands everlasting fan base stays loyal as Lifehouse still has many old hits on iTunes top charts. Also, Lifehouse has done a great job with producing hits meant for the radio and other media, their songs are catchy and always contain melodies that anyone can sing along to. They also balance music for the media, with music for the fans. They have been out on the road with few breaks for almost ten years now. They like to focus on getting their music out to everyone.
Now, recently released Smoke and Mirrors is definitely an album made for everyone. The album starts off with catchy soon-to-be hits like “Halfway Gone” and “All In” which are sure to get their catchy melodies imbedded in your head. They then turn to much more edgy and rougher side with songs like “Falling In” and “Wrecking Ball.” Throughout the album Lifehouse mixes and intertwines both these styles in a way to attract listeners attention and make them remember the songs. The songs are both catchy I and unique, It should be hard to find very few that dislike their songs they have still produced hits for over ten years so they must have to formula for great songs. I encourage anyone who is a fan of rock or pop to go out and pick up this CD, it’s a greatl isten for everyone. Jason Wade (lead vocals, guitar), Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. (drums, percussion), Bryce Soderberg (bass guitar) and Ben Carey (guitar). They have sold upwards of fifteen million singles and albums worldwide to date
