10 Young Rock Bands Trying To Make Their Way To The Top

If a country group went rock and roll, this is what it would sound like. These Southern Californians have vocals similar to Def Leppard without sounding like a tribute band. The group was formed in 2014 and started off with only two members, vocalist Nick Reese and guitarist Blake Allard. Within a short four years, they had expanded, enlisting the help of bassist Greg Braccio and drummer Robert Sodaro.

Blake Allard seems determined to create an original sound with his band and has expressed his desire to create a unique and fresh listening experience for music appreciators out there. They do this quite successfully with metal guitar sound that backs up some great vocals. If one had to find similarities in vocalists Nick Reese's singing style, it would be most similar to that of Def Leppard's Joe Elliot.

Their 2019 album, Place In Time, was well-received and managed to nab them a spot opening for well-known rock legend Slash as well as the band Deep Purple. It's great to see the legends giving the new bloods some airtime.
