  1. that list is impressive. I look forward to the day when the rest if the world starts listening to good music. I was in a band called MINX FLUX a couple years ago (we recorded a a CD at The JAM ROOM studios) self titled. we were greatly influenced by a few on your list like trail of the dead etc..We had a decent following but broke up due to the rest of the world being plugged in to britny spears and rap. We hope to get back together one day and its good to see real people such as yourself out there. keep up the good tune love!
