Concertologist's avatarHeavy Metal Hill

Eddie Trunk was right about this band.

They play heavy rocking music with a style and sound that is definitely worth checking out. In addition to a cool drum solo and playing a bunch of their own tunes, they also did “Hot For Teacher” by Van Halen during the bicycle stunt show on the field. They definitely scored some new fans at the game.
