There is something for everyone’s budget on there, so check it out and spread the word about Sweet & Lynch.

Check out their song, The Wish and get completely hooked!

I love this track as it brings a fresh new life to the 80’s rock that we all fell in love with without feeling dated. It has a killer guitar solo and vocals that just grab your attention and have you fully engaged with full throttle to rock! This is one sweet rock band that definitely proves Rock n Roll is not dead, far from it with these iconic musicians at the helm.

Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. We will see if we can bring you an interview soon too to find out more about Only To Rise and hopefully with the release right around NAMM time, who knows, maybe a show in the works? Fingers crossed!!!

Get ready die-hard STRYPER fans, you can head over here  and take a listen to their song “Legacy” which is off of their forthcoming studio album, NO MORE HELL TO PAY which is set to release on November 5th.  I just checked the song out out and I am blown away. It has me so excited about this new album. It  has everything you want from STRYPER and more. You  have the incredible vocals by Michael Sweet, Oz Fox with his intense guitar, legendary Tim Gaines kills it on the bass and precision drumming by Robert Sweet.  These guys deliver ferocious energy and are truly spot-on and I think if you weren’t a fan before, you will be after taking a listen.

The album is set for November 5th release but you can  do a pre-order here;  and all iTunes pre-orders include an instant download of the album’s title track. Physical copies of the album are available for pre-order via Amazon.com – the standard CD can be pre-ordered here, while the deluxe digipack version may be pre-ordered here.

If you are near the Southern California area, make sure to mark your calendars for November 16th as STRYPER will be performing a very special show at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. They will be performing not only their hits but some new material from NO MORE HELL TO PAY. The evening will be recorded for an upcoming live CD/DVD package set to release in 2014. Get your tickets early, definitely going to be a sell out. You can order tickets here.

Lastly, I want to leave you with my choice for the top 5 STRYPER songs of all time:

5. Soldiers Under Command

4. Shining Star

3. Free 

2.  Calling on You 

1. To Hell With the Devil
