6:15 pm	Best New Rock Bands - Mr. Wrong Review One of the best new rock bands Rey Fresco has one more hit with their Mr. Wrong song. This track begins off while using magical mixture, which could be the principal point that makes Rey Fresco 1 of the best new rock bands around. The harp intro lasts for roughly 10 seconds, then a good drum beat arrives from deep within, and these two melodies intertwine for one more 15 seconds prior to the fantastic voice kicks in. This song really is soft reggae rock at its greatest. He speaks to his emotional difficulties as if his problem belongs to an outside entity. It can be genius, and I consider it can be 1 issue that makes one of the "best new rock bands" songs. The repeated chorus is "Roller coaster it's not over, up and down." Does this sound familiar in this wonderful ever transforming point we call everyday living? I consider so... Here is what the band needs to say about this record: "This track focuses about the fact that there are higher points, and reduced points in everyday living. In all of these stages of existence we occasionally usually adhere to Mr. Wrong, which is really a metaphor for any poor or weak decisions. At some point we get back on track, but occasionally unfortunately we go back to Mr. Wrong once again. The roller coaster represents existence and every one of its different avenues." In all honesty, I understand its hard for you to agree on Rey Fresco being in the "best new rock bands" category without hearing it. Rey Fresco offers some lessons to be learned for other bands that want to be in the "best new rock band" category, especially with their unique sounds and meaningful lyrics. The have a good following on Facebook, be a fan of one of the best new rock bands today. Here's more on one of the best new rock bands: They offer a free download at their website, so go grab it.

6:58 pm	Best New Rock Bands Reviews - Rey Fresco's Dorothy The best new rock bands of today are using a lot of different skills to gain their titles. I love finding new bands before the labels get their hands on them. Because their sound can change after they get picked up, its such a joy to hear new rock bands before they go big. There are a few dozen bands I can place in the best new rock bands category, but the one I am writing about here is Rey Fresco. Dorothy is one song that got them into being one of the best new rock bands. It is a song that is a little slower, and it also has a very intriguing story line. The best new rock bands will do much more than sing a jolly song, they will bring you into a musical journey, this is what happens in Dorothy. The best new rock bands use creativity and originality to get where they are, Rey Fresco sure has that! Prior to the story line unfolds, the intro is played by Xoco, who is the harp player in the band, surely one of the reasons I love this song. The best new rock bands use unique story telling. The song I am writing about is Dorothy, and it is about her personal story. Who is she really? I can definietely see her being a "wana-be" artist just trying so hard to make it but she just can't. The lyrics to the song goes like this: "Hard times in the city, bright lights shining on me. You might think that its so easy, walking all over town, confusion in your mind". They would never call themselves one of the best new rock bands, but here is a little from them. The song talks about a view from the inside of the city life. The basics of the story lie at the separation of classes, people growing farther and farther apart. This commemorative track is titled "Dorothy" after the great American Jazz harpist named Dorothy Ashby (Aug 6 1932-April 13 1986), and because she is one of the many influences on our music. By now you may want to hear more from one of the best new rock bands: They offer a free download at their website, so go grab it. While you're at it, why not get the entire album on iTunes? After hearing it, you'll agree, this is one of the best new rock bands.

7:13 pm	Best New Rock Bands - Ozomatli & Rey Fresco Best New Rock Bands Performance - Ozomtali & Rey Fresco 1 highlight of Ozomatli's headline performance at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California yesterday evening was an impromptu jam session together with their beginning act, 1 with the best new rock bands, Rey Fresco. Rey Fresco integrates a unique mix of rock, reggae, soul and globe music for a wholly genuine sound that mixes nicely along with the equally eclectic Ozomatli's sound. Ozomatli has such a unique sound, I can envision it must be challengin to find other complimenting acts. It is clear they got a winner with Rey Fresco.

After selling out multiple shows and by bringing a fresh sound to the music world they have been featured on NPR, Better TV, and Good Morning San Diego. Today they are ranked high inside Greatest New Rock Bands category. Right after getting entirely appreciated by the audience once a rip roaring set of their own, not an simple feat to accomplish in front of the notoriously loyal Ozomatli crowd, the members were just happy to enjoy the rest from the night and mingle with new fans inside the crowd. The night was about to get even improved though, for the band and the lucky fans in attendance. With Rey Fresco getting 1 from the best new rock bands, the primary fan base at Belly Up were unbelievably jazzed to see the incredible Ozomatli come on stage. For a small portion of Ozomatli's headline set, somewhat unexpectedly, they invited Rey Fresco's harp player, Xoco, to join them on stage. Exactly what took place ended up being rousing instrumental jam that got the people on their feet as Xoco raged on a massive harp together with the band. Easily an early candidate for live music highlight with the year, it ended up being a joy to determine a group inside "best new rock bands" class appreciated by a veteran act. Here is usually a clip on youtube, do yourself a favor and see them tfor yourself. Ozomatli fans got lucky in finding a new band to get excited about.

First you will find out why I think they are in the "best new rock bands" category, and your comments are very welcome in the comments area. Any one of the other best new rock bands would agree they hit the nail on the head with this one. I like how the lyrics make use of clever metaphors, the one I like the best is the bees honey for how sweet it is. The transition of the intro to chorus is so smooth, nothing less would be accepted for being one of the best new rock bands. It is very refreshing to hear rock bands utilize not only great vocal talent, but great lyrical meanings, they certainly do that well in Hey Girl. Not only does Roger has a truly amazing voice, but when he gives it to us, BOY does he give it good. This band goes above and beyond in the next part which is by Xoc on the raquinta, gosh, what IS a raquinta you may ask? Google it, its quite amazing. The percussion department is flawless with a good and simple beat to carry us through the song. The bassist also allows the others the front row, you can spot it, but just the right amount. There is also some magical brass that has been mixed in, I don't think this is actually in their current live shows, although we can see where they may be going in the future. its is clear that the combined melodies between all of these sounds is what creates the awe. Clearly defining them as one of the best new rock bands. Check out what the band has to say about Hey Girl: We meant for this to be somewhat of a love song about mother earth. This song talks about Hey Girl, and that is a metaphor for mother earth, and all the gifts we get from her. This is a tune that I could listen to over and over. Between the music, the delivery, and the production of this song there is truly not much I could say that is wrong. Again, what do you expect from the list of the best new rock bands. So is it one of the best new rock bands of today? Of course you can't totally agree without hearing it, but I recommend checking them out. Want more info to about one of the best new rock bands?

8:27 pm	Best New Rock Bands Review? Here is Rey Fresco - Sugar Love Best new rock bands of today? Here are my thoughts why I think Rey Fresco goes into this category, then let's hear yours. In my opinion, based on the variety of sounds, the rhythmic melody, and mix of instruments this band is definitely one of the best new rock bands. Today I get to share them with you! Here is a candid evaluation of new music from undoubtedly an up and coming, maybe even one of the best new rock bands that goes by the name of Rey Fresco and this song is called Sugar Love. The best new rock bands of today cater to their entire audience, this song is for the ladies. The song starts out with that very special Harp tune. The background of the story line in the song is a love relationship between the singer and his girlfriend, in the song he compares her sweetness to the sweetness of sugar. Although the harp is a very nice intro, quite quickly, the voice and the story the singer lays down immediately takes a control of my ears. This is clearly one of the few songs by Rey Fresco that has seemingly less over all group effort than many others, but that's one reason why it's so special. This is one reason I actually think this is one of the best new rock bands. Does that contradict what best new rock bands should be? The reasoning behind this is that they allow the singer to truly shine here, and that's what makes this so special. One great example is that there is actually a tumpet and lap steel guitar in the background, did you hear how amazing that was? It's all there and that's what makes it one of the best new rock bands. Here are a few words from the Rey Fresco about Sugar Love: The song focuses on personal relationships and how petty people can be on a daily basis, while there is bigger and more important issues to tackle. Mainly about maintaining love and being aware of it. Want more info to about one of the best new rock bands? There is a free song available at their website and the entire album "The People" is available on iTunes. After hearing it, you'll agree, this is one of the best new rock bands.

3:34 pm	Best New Rock Bands, Rey Fresco, Cant Explain Review In my opinion, this band is definitely one of the best new rock bands, and today I get to share them with you! Time to review a new Rey Fresco love song hit, a band that is tearing up the so. cal music scene, they go by the name of Rey Fresco and here is some talk about their hit song Can't Explain. The best new rock bands today do some magical things. The pure combination of the smooth harp and cool voice is what makes this song so special. The combination is hard to explain in voice, but it creates music to my ears and imagery to my mind. The lyrics are written very nicely, and although I like them, there is something else that it stronger that is coming through. The dudes dig the song, but the women melt. I have seen this first person just looking around at the concert. Almost impossible to write here, there is some kind of momentary transformation taking place within their emotional chemical build up. These are all important factor to figure out who are the best new rock bands. Don't the best new rock bands have more than a harp and a singer? I really like that the other members really let the harp and the vocals shine in this one, they are a team, and playing so well together. It is clear they are one of the best new rock bands I have reviewed in a while. A clear indication of what the best new rock bands do today is mix together slower songs with their high energy songs, that's what Rey Fresco is doing with this. The key to being one of the best new rock bands is to be versatile, and they got this down! Words from the band Rey Fresco about Can't Explain: There is one key thing we would like people to know here..."The song begins with a statement by Roger, "I'm the devil's child." This is not literal, it is very metaphoric. He sings with the intention of explaining that temptation is spawn of evil, and is a child of the devil. Therefore Roger is singing as if he was temptation, and how temptation needs people to thrive and exist." Want more info to about one of the best new rock bands?

King of the Sea - From Rey Fresco A man's ocean voyage in a shark's kingdom. The battle actually happens within the power struggle between these two worlds.

9:24 pm	New Upcoming Rock Bands, Rey Fresco Review Here is a cool song review from one of the new upcoming rock bands, Rey Fresco. Title of this Rey Fresco song is All In Awe. No one can reject feeling the choice of the title of this song. The bottom line is that new upcoming rock bandslike Rey Fresco are on to something when they can get fans like me excited! Has this ever happened to you, when you know everything is coming together perfectly? Have you ever truly been All In Awe, you know, when it all just fits, when everything just somehow works? It is a feeling of truth, when things just connect, the title is perfect, All In Awe. All In Awe is life, if you put a microscope on it. Not sure if other new upcoming rock bands are doing this kind of stuff...It's unique how the song came to be. To one end, I am amazed at how it all came together, but to the other end with most things that amaze me these days, I just thank it, and allow it to be. New upcoming rock bands are surprising me with their skills! I like it! Here are some notes from Rey Fresco about what All In Awe is to them; This was one of the first tracks that we wrote. The initial idea for the melody was thought up by Xocoyotzin, the drum beat was of course brought by Jenkins. Rogers lyrics have various meanings referring to life, and how being in the right place is essential when opportunities knock. "Sister love" is a concept for any project or task at hand. "All In Awe" represents a feeling of accomplishment of one's strenuous efforts, or one's goal finally achieved. (Comment on this)
