    Sydetrakt

    'Attraction' [audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2013/07/Sydetrakt-Attraction.mp3|titles=Sydetrakt - Attraction]

    Sydetrakt is repping the 810 with their energetic blend of metal and emotion. Their brand new single 'Attraction' harkens to the days of raw early 2000s post hardcore.

    Drift Lifted

    'Overflow' [audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2013/07/Drift-Lifted-Overflow.mp3|titles=Drift Lifted - Overflow]

    Drift Lifted, a band out of Saginaw Michigan has created a form of modern rock which has rocked the local scene. They have combined all of rock's greatest artists and created a sound of their own. The combination of screaming guitar, slamming drum fills, massive bass lines, and powerful vocals can make the deaf hear, the blind see, and the abstinent promiscuous. Rock and Roll is not dead. This is Rock and Roll.

    Mercy Beach

    'The Kathy' [audio://townsquare.media/site/84/files/2013/07/Mercy-Beach-The-Kathy.mp3|titles=Mercy Beach - The Kathy]

    Mercy Beach: the name conjures visions of pristine white sand, and scantily-clad lasses. In a short time however, the name will conjure a new association—the all original, Michigan rock band making waves everywhere they're seen and heard. The group had been playing the Mid-West circuit for several years as The Round, before reinventing themselves as Mercy Beach in late 2010. The re-imaging brought renewed focus, upgraded rhythmic tightness and harmonies, and a thirst for success.
