Alright, I found this band not that long ago actually. They're originally from Austrailia which makes them even more incredible that they were able to make a breakthough here in the U.S., considering America has certain standards to music. When I first heard this band, I was amazed, not just because Moore's voice reminds me of Social Distortion's frontman, but because of the unusual combination of instruments they use. It's amazing how they can mix so many instruments and create such amazing beats as they do daily! They're not just amazing in the studio, they're INCREDIBLE live! Dudee! It's amazing how much love they put in their music. If you haven't liked any of the past recommendations I gave you....listen to this band! They're fantastic!

Chevelle(Post-grunge/Alternative Metal/Hardrock)

Band memebers: Pete Loeffler(Lead vocals/guitar), Sam Loeffler(drums/percussion), and Dean Bernardini(Bass/Back-up vocals).

It's not a lie that some of the greatest music has come from Illinois, you'd be an idiot if you didn't know that. But I think one of the greatest bands that has come out of the great Chicago area is Chevelle. Hands down, they're the BEST. As the band first started they were a trio of brothers, sadly in 2005 the yongest brother, Joe, parted ways and was soon replaced by brother-in-law Dean Bernardini. Rock trio of brothers or not, Chevelle is incredible. They take rock to a whole new level! They formed in 1995, and didn't launch into the mainstream until 2002 with their album, "Wonder What's Next," It was the greatest album I've ever heard! The singles, The Red and Send the Pain Below kicked butt!! NOT. KIDDING. Then after that every single one of their albums that they have produced have been amazing. In 2007, they released their album called Vera Sera, and it was wicked!! Beyond words, it was amazing, they brought in a whole new way of using common instruments to create incredible sounds. Recently, they released a new album, Sci-Fi Crimes, it was once again amazing! I can not express how much I advise people to listen to this band. They are absolutely amazing.

Top Recommended Songs: The Red(Wonder What's Next), Send the Pain Below(Wonder What's Next), Well Enough Alone(Vera Sera), The Fad(Vera Sera), I Get It(Vera Sera), Jars(Sci-Fi Crimes).

Avenged Sevenfold (Hardrock/Alternative/Metalcore)

Members: M. Shadows(Vocals), Synyster Gates(Lead Guitar), Zackary Vengeance(Rythmic Guitar), Johnny Christ(Bass Guitar), The Rev(Drums, Backup Vocals).

Think you know hard rock? Think again, Avenged Sevenfold (A7X), is the greatest rock band hands down! Formmed in 1999 in Huntington Beach, CA, A7X has taken the rock industry by storm. First they started off playing metalcore with their first album "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" now, I'm not a big screamo fan, but I have to admit, they did a pretty dang good job with it. In 2003 A7X produced their second album, "Waking the Fallen" once again with the metalcore feel only this time, it was a little more rythmic only problem was that they weren't in the mainstream just yet. That all changed in 2005, Avenged Sevenfold produced their hit album "City of Evil" and I must admit it is fantastic! They ditched the whole metalcore genre for a more hard rock genre. I'm not bias to hard rock music, but I have to say that A7X made the BEST move by doing that. The hit single from, City of Evil, 'Bat Country' killled the rock industry! They did it once again in late 2007 with their self titled album, it was epic! Not only did Avenged Sevenfold for bring their game, they gave their fans a twist. The last two tracks (A Little Piece of Heaven and Dear God) on the album were phenomenal! Sevenfold introduced a whole new way of music! They added an opera feel using organs, trumpets, pianos, and they even brought out an acousic guitar! Avenged Sevenfold is the greatest rock band ever! Sadly to say, in the making for their fifth album, A7X lost their drummer, James Owen Sullivan(The Rev), news about the upcoming album being published has not yet been confirmed. Avenged Sevenfold is the rock band of the decade - without a doubt. So now, if you like hard rock and if you like long guitar solos, I recommend you to listen to Avenged Sevenfold.
