“Flesh and Bone” New Ascending to Avalon Track Posted on Band’s MySpace
Palm Harbor’s Ascending to Avalon have been hard at work on their follow up full-length, Behold the Wicked, at various locations in Pinellas County. To show their progress, the band has posted the first track, “Flesh and Bone”, on their MySpace page.
Singer/guitarist/writer Ryen Gerson shares on the band’s blog:
“‘Behold the Wicked’ is an exercise in being a hard rock band. it takes the heavier sounds we touched on in the EP and magnifies them, it really gets that out of our system. It also touches on sounds we have not explored as a group. I guess in short this record is part heavy rock record and part art rock record, i won’t say any more though
I’ll leave that a surprise for the ones who come to the shows and pick up the record.”
Behold the Wicked is due in April/May 2010.
10 Best Drummers of All Time
The drums. The spine and pulse of a band. A bad drummer loses an audience. A good drummer keeps the flow going in unison. A great drummer owns the stage. Being a bass player, I have always been intrinsically tied to drummers as we both have the duty of keeping things “in the pocket.”
It is out of love that I share with you my Top 10 Drummers of all time.
10 – Josh Freese (The Vandals, A Perfect Circle, Devo, Nine Inch Nails, all over Modern Rock radio) – One of the most sought out studio drummers in Rock music, Freese — a Florida native — cut his teeth in a Disneyland band when he was 12. At 15, he was already touring with the seminal/joke/genius punk band, The Vandals. Freese has appeared on close to 300 records.
