July 29, 2013

When I think of Tennessee, I tend to think of the music scene that it gives us, but most particularly country artists. After listening to Skull Jack, I will now be grateful for the hard rock/metal scene that has developed. Skull Jack was formed in 2009 by guitarist Dale Sheppard and in the short time since, have accomplished many things. They had won Nashville’s Best New Metal Band award in 2011 and went through an almost complete lineup change. They now have a strong solid group with Eddie Walker on drums, Ryan Lessard on vocals, and Kevin Buttler on Bass. These four guys each started in music at quite a young age. Together with their combined experience have created their unique sound of hard rock, metal and a touch of Southern Rock. After Dale and Eddie working together to write new material, what they completed is a strong sound 3 track Demo. I had the opportunity to listen to the demo and it completely rocks with some raging metal strewn in. The first song, [Read More]
