Artist description RISE TO POWER is the first independently produced cd by the phenomena known as 99AD. Tucked within the rolling hills of High Point lies a tiny three room shack, complete with couch, bed, drums, guitars, and a case of beer. It is within' these walls that this premier cd was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered, with little more than a den full of drums, a reluctant computer, and a production budjet of thirty five bucks (for the beer) Screaming guitars, powerful vocals, and a backbone rythym section pump out new flavors of alternative rock. Terrified residents of the surrounding High Point area often report sightings of the clan of four in local clubs, complaining of loud sounds and a euphoric feeling. It is now possible (for the daring) to witness the madness for yourself - from a safe distance - on Wednesday nights at the Triangle in High Point. (Starting 6-6-01) Stay Tuned

Review of Change For A Penny by 99AD Rock and freggin' roll Awesome intro with smooth vocals. Today I have heard 4 of the greatest songs ever and this is one of them. Damn! The guitarist is really, really good. Two vocalist that mold the song into awesomeness. The song is wild. I love the way the guitar solo is added within the middle of the song. This is where the guitarists true skills are shown off.
