\"shallow\"Shallow Side, the four member band from Alabama, recently released “One” on January 13th. \u00a0This 6 track EP features Eric Boatright on Vocals,\u00a0Cody Hampton on Bass\/Guitar, Seth Trimble on Guitar\/Keyboard and Heath Fields on Drums.<\/p>\n

The band formed in 2010 and has had a few releases, along with some bumps along the road. \u00a0Their latest release, One, \u00a0is promoting a message of unity. \u00a0Eric states, \u201cWhen we first started, rock & roll wasn\u2019t for us, we wanted to go to a concert, enjoy the music, sing along, and be a part of the overall song and dance. We\u2019re now looking to bridge that gap to bring the family together to where rock & roll was at one point. The mission since we began was to take the wheel and steer it back into a direction where everyone from all walks of life could enjoy a good rock show.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am here to say, the gap has been bridged. \u00a0This EP is a solid rock release.<\/p>\n

Of course one of the stand out tracks on this EP is the cover of Styx’s song “Renegade”. \u00a0Shallow Side was looking for a “handshake” with listeners who already loved rock music, and using this song was a way catch the ear of new fans. Tommy Shaw, Styx vocalist\/guitarist and the songwriter of \u201cRenegade,\u201d is one of those new fans. He stated that he was \u201cimpressed by these guys”. \u00a0He went on to say that they had a “Good arrangement, good performance, good video\u201d. Since that time Shallow Side’s “Renegade” cover has gone onto being a rock-radio staple and a YouTube sensation when it was released as a single in late 2016.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite track from the EP is “Can you hear me”. \u00a0It’s a great anthem for the current time we live in. \u00a0Whether the government is in your favor or not, we live in a time where its time to stand up for what you believe in. \u00a0“Can you hear me” is a song to march to, to hope to, to survive to.<\/p>\n

This band has it. \u00a0They started from the bottom and worked there way up. \u00a0I look forward to hearing the full album when it is released later this year. \u00a0You can get your copy HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
