Have you ever received an email from a friend that says something like, “Hey, I want you to check out this great band.” Even though it’s a friends recommendation, skeptisim instantly sets in. Party because of working in the music business with spin doctors and hype machines and party because of personal musical tastes.

I had a friend that sent me one of those emails several months ago and he really wanted to know what I thought of the band and because I love music and can be quite opinionated in regards to it, I relented. I loved what I indirectly discovered.

Eyes Around was one of those musicial artists I heard once and was instantly into. From the very first track “The Maze” to “Cautionary Tale” to “Another Source of Light”, I was hooked. I have yet to see them live, but plan to do so when our schedules match up.

It was a good lesson for us. Number One: Listen to friends; Number Two: Always be open to new music since you never know what you will find. The Music Advisory will take that sound advice and give you some of our own – check out this great band here.
