Weekly Focus: Creed, Day One

So, in theory, everyone “hates” Creed these days. Well…I don’t. I was never a huge fan, but I will give credit where credit is due. Creed was a good rock band made up of talented musicians and songwriters. The way I figure it, they deserve to be recognized.

Creed — “My Own Prison,” from the album My Own Prison (1997).

Album of the Week: Creed’s Weathered

I had forgotten how much I liked this album until a couple of months ago, when I randomly decided to listen to it for the first time in years. Lol.

Bands You Should Know: Stonefeather

Stonefeather actually asked to be featured on my blog via Instagram. I wasted little time in checking out their latest video for the song “Ride On.” I was immediately in love.

Hailing from California, it is no surprise that Stonefeather employs an eclectic mix of rock, funk, and the blues. The tracks “Ride On” and “Electrify” showcase their classic rock influences, which include Cream, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, while songs like “Crack Cocaine,” “Kush Doctor,” and “What U Want” pay tribute to more current artists such as Rage Against the Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Stonefeather is definitely one of my new favorites. I highly recommend that you find the time to listen to them. Below are my top three Stonefeather tracks.

Now Playing (07): Almost Kings

This rap/rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, is one of my favorites, both musically and personally. They have been recording recently, for which I am very excited, but at the moment I’m listening to “Bang Loud” from the Club Rock EP (2011).
