Blessed By A Broken Hearts album "Feel The Power" is an incredibly impressive show in great riff-based progressive pompmetal with wonderful melodic choruses and vocal harmonies that may be as AOR and power pop bands to gasp for breath. This album is a crazy wonderful combo of styles and this is also an album that grows with EVERY listening. I'm incredibly impressed with the production, songwriting, the band's appearance, energy, and not least, the singer Tony Gambino. Do yourselves a favor and take a close look on this band. I've never heard a similar combo of styles. "Shut Up And Rock 'is a stunning mix of City Boy choirs, growl, a boombastic guitarsolo with Thin Lizzy vibes, and I do not know more what to say. The entire album is a smorgasbord of what I like. Amazingly good and this album will end up high of my list of this year's best albums. Just listen to the choir singing and the Progressive duel between keyboards, guitars in the third track "Love Nightmare" and the harmonyvocals a'la Robby Valentine!... And that's just a little of what is offered ... No, enough said ... This disc is only available on the crash. It is long since I was this happy to hear new music. Masterpiece.
Myles Kennedy was asked by Slash to audition as lead singer of Velvet Revolver, but he declined the offer. Two years later, he was called up by Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti asking to join a new band he was forming since Creed had recently broken up due to personal issues with singer Scott Stapp.
