As you can see above, I have posted up two new featured bands this week. Stavesacre who have spent a career of 14 years perfecting their anthemic brand of rock n’ roll definitely deserved the featured spot in my opinion this week. Well we had a bunch of bands with releases due out this Tuesday so any second artist I picked would have ended up in the “Under the Radar” section. Project 86 is just that band this week. Now I know that Project 86 and Stavesacre have been existance almost nearly the same amount of time but when you only have a “Featured” spot and an “Under the Radar” spot, that’s what I had to do. So just consider it TWO featured spots this week and ignore the “Under the Radar” tag……”but Brandon, what about that awesome metalcore band August Burns Red? They have a release too coming out on July 14th!!” Though the album is good (for them), I feel these two bands (above) have definitely deserved the featured spot this week after spending the past decade and half perfecting their sounds. Will August Burns Red be a band for a decade? Hmmmm…..
