Your text goes hereCarnevil is one of those bands that stick out in my mind. If you like metal music at all this is the band for you. There are 5 members Chuck Boyer; vocalist, Mark El Hosri; lead guitarist, Nathaniel Payton Naymick; rhythm guitar, David E. Gibbons; bass, and Anthony E. Lupo; drummer. A lot of metal bands you can barely understand the words the lead singer says not in this case. They just had a chance to open for a national act at the Hard Rock Café in Orlando and I believe it was well deserved. From songs like “What You Did” to “Full Circle” this band will blow you away.
Another band that I am very fond of is Blue Collar Addict. This band consists of Danny Shaner; lead vocalist, Jonny Gravato; drummer, and Rob Solensky; guitar and Bryan Mills; bass. If you sre looking for a great stage presence to go along with some killer riffs and drumbeats then this is your band. From songs like “Bland” to “Changes” there is an edge to these guys that you have to see to believe. I have seen Carnevil and Blue Collar Addict share the stage a few times and I have to say it is one of my favorite things to watch. Theses two bands feed off the energy the other one brings to their performance.
Valiant Effort is a three piece band out of Jacksonville that consists of some of the most amazing talent I have ever seen. Shawn Fisher is lead vocals and guitar, Cody Fisher plays the drums and Matt Duncan is the bass player. From "Heartache" to their favorite song to play "Independence Day" they put everything they have into their performance to make sure you have a good time.
Infury8 is one of my favorites to watch play. This is a four piece band out of Edgewater. It consist of Kelly Alvarez; lead vocals, Dan Coffey; lead guitar and backing vocals, Steve Willey; bass and backing vocals, and Jermiah Carosella; drums. Songs like “My Place Is Gone” and “Go Peacefully” are so personal to them and the passion they play them with is uncanny. When this band is on stage they never want get off. They highly enjoy playing with each other and it shows by how much fun they are having. I have seen them a few times and enjoy it every time.
Sly Poonce is a four piece funk band from Jacksonville. If you like funk music this is your band. This band has four members Randall Roman; lead vocals and guitar, Al Taylor; bass player, keyboards and backing vocals, Brent Tenczar; guitar and Mark Balawender; drums. They love to play till it is almost closing time. They have a version of “Come Together” that impressed me the first time I heard it and still does to this day.
I know music has a special place in everyone’s life. There are some outstanding local bands out there with the most amazing talent. No matter what genre you listen to there is a local band for you somewhere. I can be having the worst day and walk into a venue that has local music and walk out in a better mood. All the songs I mentioned here in this article have a special place in my soul. To hear just your average every day guys write songs that can mean so much to some one just like them is extraordinary. So the next time you see your favorite local hangout hosting a local band or acoustic act and you aren’t sure if you want to check it out pop in there you never know what may touch you heart and what your ears might enjoy.
