Our Band of the Day is The Phoenix Within

May 28, 2015

  Today’s Band of the Day goes to acoustic indie rockers The Phoenix Within.  When you take a listen to them, you can’t help but be drawn to the emotions that their songs bring out. They express such honesty and vulnerability in their music. For example, my favorite track, Sharks and it is wrapped in beautiful sentiment. It is quite astounding at how infectiously catchy that song really is! Take a listen and you will agree. They will soon be releasing their new EP Natalie Rose later this summer. Another exciting thing is that they are looking to perform on the Ernie Ball Stage during Vans Warped Tour. They are competing for the chance to perform with the Battle of The Bands Warped Tour Contest. Check it out here: http://warped.battleofthebands.com/u/thephoenixwithin. We hope they win!
