A barrage of the senses. the Winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show is one of the loudest, brightest, and largest Music Industry gatherings of the year. People from almost all avenues of the industry flock to Anaheim, California for a chance to meet rock stars, order product, get drunk on Yamaha's tab, and check out the cool new gadgets that the new year will bring.

Jared Brickman — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:37:39 -0000

I particularly enjoy their single Pressing On, as it’s a real unique mix, not only in instrumentation, but style. Also, the gang vocals is real inspiring.
