Battle of the Bands: “Your band, your music, our fuel. You ignite it. “ They put rhythm to words so that the lyrics would touch our hearts and that was the birth of music. Music is what emotions sound like, which is probably why music has the power to inspire hearts and touch our souls. Every song written has a story to tell, a hidden emotion. If you and your buddies are poets of the art, then bring out your axes and prepare to battle. Let the sound blaze your mind and the music touch your soul. This is not an event you’d want to miss.
