It's all about the music.

JQ99 and hard rock. Not really like peanut butter and chocolate. However…That doesn’t mean that it’s okay to ignore listening through that type of song when they roll into my inbox now does it?

So…I didn’t! Sargent Avenue recently sent me a couple of their latest tunes. Here are my thoughts:

Sargent Avenue – “Nightmare”
- I really like the sound of this tune. I’m not sure if I see it as a fit on JQ, but then again, the verses and pre-chorus sound like I could hear them in a mainstream artists song.
- It has some really interesting elements. Not bad.
- In the end though…I don’t hear it on JQ. Sorry.

Sargent Avenue – “To Whom It May Concern”
- Cool intro…Kind of a Lincoln Park sound.
- The mix is well done and overall, it’s a pretty good tune. Personally…I’m not a fan of the screaming, creepy bridge thing. That sound always gives my creepy chills.
- It sounds a bit too “hard rock” for JQ, but I have to believe that there’s a home for either of these songs on a more CHR station.

You can listen through these tunes and find out more about Sargent Avenue over at their MySpace Page!

Thanks for sharing guys! Keep up the good work!
