Artist description WELCOME!! Heavy Classic Guitar Drivin Hard Rock and Blues with some killer grooves. Mostly instrumental with Hard rock, driving rhythyms and blues not your typical Guitar Instumental rock, there is something for everyone. Distorted Youth fuses the Blues, Metal and Rock in a wall of sound using Swirling blues riffs with tons of Metal and Distortion and some serious shred. Were talkin Heavy Metal Blues that will melt your soul, Distorted Youth is not designed for commercial appeal. Spoon fed of Deroit Rock, Blues, Metal and Funk all our lifes and it shows. If you want to feel and hear the dark, and dirty, sounds of the Motor City, this is for you. Most tracks have two or three guitars, got to have the stereo effect.. Go ahead give the songs a click, there is something for everyone. Realizing that instrumental rock is not really the mainstream I have put my focus towards testing the boundries of my soul and mind. So,if you like cruzin mood music that ROCKS. Listen.

Artist History After trading My Jackson Randy Rhoads for my first Les Paul my tone and style changed. From shred back to my roots of hard rock and Blues. The tones and feel are incredible. With in weeks I purchased a four track and a drum machine and so on and on. I have only been recording for two years. Within a Month I won the Motor City Best WRIF contest at the largest rock station in Detroit. This motivated me to Live in the Basement for almost two years, producing over 40 tracks. I have ten in the Can Heh He..I have spent the last year doing final mix downs and burning CDs on Sonic Foundry. Cool Reverbs! As with every musician my music is constantly evolving, new tracks, new effects and remixes. I am constantly updating my web sites.I hope you enjoy the diverse sound and styles. Since joining MP3 in July I have recieved a few radio plays and over 60,000 listens. Thanks to everyone at mp3 and espeically YOU.
