However, in this giant pool of music came some amazing artists and bands we grew to love. Deftones, Korn, Breaking Benjamin, and Taproot,...

I listen to a lot of different types of music, but I have to admit that blues is not a genre that is in my playlist. But a couple weeks ago I happened to catch When Rivers Meet (WRM).
