We're getting the band (back?) together!

May 12, 2024 10:30 PM

There have been a few posts here on the blue in recent years celebrating some rising young music stars, Yoyoka Soma and Ellen Alaverdyan, to name two. Often, when we see talented young people like that, our first thought is "Hey, they should collaborate!". Well, our wish has been granted.

Kids Rock for Kids is an NYC-based non-profit helps young musicians use their talents to help kids in need. They've released the first video for their "Global Collaboration", bringing together an amazing collection of musicians from age 16 to age 9.

FYI that Hysteria's is considered one of the most difficult bass lines ever written. Go, these kids!

They've dropped another song, one that's a little more familiar to some of us olds (Boston's "Peace of Mind"). The twin-guitar harmony here is just *fire*.
