Band to watch out for: Marianas Trench

cookd96 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:17:54 +0000

Marianas Trench is really big in Canada, but they are starting to make their way to the U.S. I had the pleasure of seeing them live on tour with Simple Plan And FTSK. They put on such a great show, and there was so much energy in the crowd. I can tell these guys are going to do great things. Check out some of the pictures I took at the concert I went to and check out the video of them singing “Haven’t Had Enough”. If you get a chance check out some more of their music, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

If you haven’t listened to Rivers Monroe..

..You really should. I saw them for the first time yesterday at Radio 104.5′s Winter Jam. I was mostly going for Fun. and New Found Glory since I have listened to their music for a while. But I got there early and tried to get up front. When Rivers Monroe came on I was thoroughly impressed. They sounded great and they were all rocking out onstage.

There are five members of Rivers Monroe. Mike (lead vocals), Mat (vocals/keys), Kirby (bass), Doc (lead guitar), and Dan (drums).

The members of Rivers Monroe (minus Dan) and my friend Chelsea and I

I got to meet and hang with the band after Winterfest. They really are a bunch of cool guys taking the time to talk and take pictures with their fans. They even took the time to sign a postcard of them and give us a free C.D. Check em out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/RiversMonroe. Or go to their webpage http://www.riversmonroe.com/.

Check out some of their songs here!
