How You Remind Me by Nickelback
Fan recorded at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas April 14th of this year. Founded in Alberta, Canada in 1996, this tune was their 1st No.1 hit song in the U.S. Lead vocalist Chad Kroeger presses his audience to sing along, bringing the fans at the Center to their feet! Chads brother Mike thunders on bass, guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Ryan Vikedal do their part in making this song and band one of the most well loved acts on the road!!! See their Home Page, then go see them!

Love Hurts by Incubus
Heart wrenching torch song by this California group founded in 1991. A great song that I believe will become a money making standard. This tune has great listenability and is sure to withstand the test of time. Lead vocalist Brandon Boyd, Mike Einziger on guitar, drummer Jose Pasillas, Chris Kilmore on turntable/keyboard, and Ben Kenney on bass round out one very talented rock band! Complete information on their Home Page.

Dirt Room by Blue October
Here is a hot number from this Houston, Texas band formed in 1995. I think you will agree with me that these fellows burn up the stage and drive their fans in a frenzy! Their new album "Approaching Normal" has risen to # 13 on the charts. Lead singer/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld, violinist Ryan Delahoussaya, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, bassist Matt Noveskey and guitarist C.B. Hudson perform like clockwork on stage! Go to their Home Page for shedule of events.

Wrong by Depeche Mode
From Essex, England the band has written their best tune ever in my opinion. They still have that electronic edge but with a bit less bite that is music to my ears!!! Founded in 1980, the current lineup partially consists of keyboardist Peter Gordeno and drummer Christian Eigner. The remaining musicians are a bit of a mystery. Maybe you can help me out? Their Home Page is unclear with personnel.

Careless Whisper by Seether
Rock pounding rendition of George Michaels 1984 hit and show closer. From South Africa, Seether was the warmup band for Nickelback last March and April! Singer/guitarist Shaun Morgan, singer/bassist Dale Stewart, guitarist Troy McLawhorn, and drummer John Humphrey turn up the heat on this tune and blows the doors off the sucka'!!! Here is their Home Page.

Audience Of One by Rise Against
Hot Chicago band on the rise to the top! They have been in business and paying their due's for 10 years now. This driving song features lead singer/guitarist Tim Mcllrath, bassist Joe Principe, lead guitarist/singer Zach Blair, and Brandon Barnes on drums. This fan recorded video has pretty decent sound! Check the band out at their Home Page.

Use Somebody by Kings of Leon
The four Followill brothers moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1996. Guitarist/lead vocalist Caleb, Jared on bass, Matthew on lead guitar, and Nathan on drums pull together and deliver powerful songs with spirited energy on stage! They are one of the nations hottest acts at this moment. Go see these guys!!! Their home page has the when and where's.

Thank You!
