Harvard of the South is our Band of the Day

April 15, 2015

Today’s Band of the Day is a wonderful new band which formed from a side project of members of Blue October, Hurricane Bells and Longwave. We had the opportunity to catch them perform the other night opening for Blue October at Ace of Spades in Sacramento. It was amazing, to say the least. I was so glad that we got there early enough to see them blow away the crowd with their high energy set. It is great to see a band making great rock and roll with a passion for their music and it really shows when these guys perform live. They played the title track off their newly released EP, Miracle and it is a musical gem. This is one song that can truly become your lifeline of hope and captures your heart. Justin Furstenfeld delivers such honest emotion and vulnerability in the song yet, yet displays such a powerful strength. I strongly suggest you check them out when they come to play near your town. You can find their upcoming shows on their [Read More]

What is also quite impressive is that their music creates such a strong connection to the listener as it takes them on a musical journey of emotions. With their song, Carry On which was written in December 2013 and dealt with the issue of bullying. With the song, fans and listeners found the song to be that voice inside telling them, they can can Carry On. It became inspiration, strength and power to many. I applaud greatly musicians who can not only make kick ass rock n roll but at the same time, bring out such a positive message. Galvanized Souls are from Southern California and their sound is a blend of fierce alternative with a pinch of grunge and straight up rock n roll.
