I was not a huge Asking Alexandria fan until the self-titled album, released in 2017 — in fact, I rather detested them after seeing them open for Avenged Sevenfold in 2011. Therefore, I totally missed Danny’s first solo album. But when I was doing one of my new music posts, I stumbled across the video for “Best Bad Habit,” and I really dug the song, so I decided to give Shades of Blue a shot. This album is really good. I highly recommend it.

I became familiar with The Lacs when they played some shows with Atlanta natives Almost Kings. They are an interesting — and fun — mix of country and hip-hop (“hick hop”).
