Tomorrows brings to life alternative rock

January 18, 2014

There is a great Alternative Rock band that you have to check out. They are called Tomorrows and is the work of brothers Jack and Jim Ivans. Their live musicians are Cullen MacDonald on Guitars and James Tan on Bass.  I love my alternative rock and San Francisco in the ’90s seemed to give me an abundance of alternative bands to listen too, that just isn’t so true these days. But now with the find of Tomorrows I can revive my love for alternative rock! Tomorrows is from New York City and this year, you will definitely be hearing a lot more from them.They bring to life pop/rock with an alternative edge. Their songs have emotionally driven lyrics and melodies that just grab a hold of you. They are releasing a full length album, The Code Duello which will be out later this year. I recently have fallen in love with their first single of their upcoming album, “Heartbreakers“. Check it out here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/121297965″ params=”color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]   “Heartbreakers” has some fierce guitars, catchy [Read More]

I think it was one of the first songs I wrote for the upcoming album. I can`t think of any particular band that inspired writing it but I guess the solo is partly inspired by John 5 which is one of my favorite guitar players!
