Spiderlord

I know the title of this blog may scare some of you, but this is a name of a band. My friends band. They have such a distinct sound; it is metal/rock music but it different from anything else I have ever heard. My friend, James, is the singer and main guitar player. He is so talented but and he doesn't even know it. He is the most modest person when it comes to his music, more humbled then any other musician I have ever met. I have seen them play once and I was blown away by their stage presence and their confidence in their music. Everyone in the crowd cheered and loved the show. I can not wait for them to play again so that I can go and support them. Spiderlord is constantly working on new music and I think they are set to get signed with a record deal really soon. I wish all the best for them and believe that they have something new and exciting to bring to rock music.The ride they are about to embark on will surely bring some serious head banging to metal lovers around NY.

  2. Thats so exciting about your friends band signing soon! I always admire musicians, I am definitely someone who can appreciate music but I am not that great at making it. It is so amazing how people can be so musically talented, I am always in awe at how musicians can just make up a song, or make up a new tune just playing around on their instruments.
