From the Ashes a Phoenix (1)

I've mentioned before how disappointing it can be for a beloved band to go the way of the dodo and fade away into obscurity.  And despite how awful that can be sometimes - every once in a while you get good things that come from it. I don't have much time to get into it today but for now I leave you a pretty damn good example.

The first group is a from Huntsville, Alabama.  They lead singer is Nick Torres - who evidently got tired of playing the music that he felt that record companies only wanted because it was what was popular instead of letting him do his own thing.



But, alas, him and guitarist, Tyler Odom, also from Northstar became Cassino.  Notice the very different sound that this new band takes on compared to the one that predated it.
