Concluding conversations with many wise and experienced people in music, and a few conclusions of my own, have lead me to believe rock is soon returning. There historically seems to be a pattern in the types of music a mass audience (such as the world) really enjoys. And if history serves us well we are on the verge of that particular style coming back quickly.

The search for another set of standout guitarists to accompany the likes of lonely Jack White, Slash and Josh Homme will soon seem much easier. A band called "wakefield drive" out of Vancouver, BC has an amazing lead guitarist/vocalist; especially when considering they're a 3 piece. A live show to back it up beyond belief. This may seem like a plug, but trust me, watch for these guys.
