First things first...I hope that you had a solid Christmas! My wife, daughter, and I did some traveling, and let me just say that MOST of it was pleasant. A combination of teething, a sick child, and a horrible snow storm, didn't allow it to be ALL pleasant.
Now...Back to business!
Checking my email this morning I received a Christmas Eve gift from Brian Williams. Who is he? Haven't met him yet, but his email pegs him as the manager for a band called, "Sargent Avenue". Side note: I've been in a band for a while and one of the names we used was, "D Ave", that way it could be read as "D Avenue" or "Dave".
Anyway...Brian sent me a single of theirs for me to consider airing at the station. Now, if you remember, last week, I kind of ranted about the attitude of some Music/Program directors out there, and how they can be kind of rude to Independent artists.
In order to keep up with my internal challenge of giving everything at least one fair listen, and to not be a hypocrite...Here are my gut reaction thoughts as I listen to this song for the very first time:
Sargent Avenue - "Crosshairs"- Casting Crowns-ish intro. (Piano and few seconds of vocal.)
- Pretty rocky song...so definitely upbeat.
- The synth is an interesting addition to the song. Not sure if it's good or bad.
- Like how it returns to the slower piano & vocals for the ending.
- Overall...Some good elements, others that could use a little work.
- I don't 'hear' this song on JQ, but...

I'll give it a listen.
