Fighting Instinct
New rock bands are a dime a dozen, but armed with a hard-edged sound that rips pages from several eras in rock history and a 'singer's singer' on vocals, Fighting Instinct bows with a record loaded with singles ready to rock the radio waves and scorch iPods. The band, hailing from North Carolina, combines Southern roots and melodic sensibilities with a modern rock edge. Among their influences: classic rockers like Zeppelin and Hendrix, Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, and modern bands like Soundgarden and Foo Fighters.
