Metal concert earns gold medal
By DANIEL CONNELL
Staff Writer
Tuesday night, at Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, Undero-
ath, Every Time I Die, Maylene, The Sons of Disaster and Ad-
vent performed. This concert from 7 to 11 p.m. was nothing
but Jiigh intensity. The connection between the crowd and
bands made me realize the high anticipation of the audience.
Even those that are not hardcore music enthusiasts would not
be able to resist the captivating energy that caused everyone to
rock their heads to the music.
First, The lights go dim and Advent takes the stage. The
North Carolina hardcore band delivers an exceptional opening
performance. Most of the songs sounded alike, The diversity
of the music came from the breakdowns of the drums and gui-
, tars; including the well-placed screams. The live performance
was fun to watch. I got chills watching the bass guitarist throw
, the bass behind his head and over again- Through the chaotic
■ sound, the head banging and "axe chopping" was well syn-
chronized.
After 30 minutes of Advent and 15 minutes of sound check,
the lights go off and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster appear.
"Born in the USA" blares in the speakers as the backdrop dis-
plays the bands name. The Alabama band members look more
like burley mountain men than hardcore rockers. Their music
has a Southern rock draw added to the heavy guitar riffs and
, fast drumming. The combination of the six members gave a
full sound and an incredible live performance. The next CD I

buy will be theirs.
Every Time I Die, the third band in the line-up bolts out
and kicks into a song off their new album called, "No Son of
Mine." The crowd chanted the New York band's lyrics back to
them; "BLASPHEME..,when you're under my roof...don't

Brandt Frankie got his first guitar for Christmas in high
school. It took him three years to finish his first song.
Brandt Frankie 'in
tune' with music
By TYLER
McCOLLUM
Staff Writer
With one semester be-
tween him and the "real
world," 23-year-old Brandt
Frankie is what somg vvpyld:
call "in-tune". with his jTiu.si-,
cal abilities. From his early
days of singing church hymns
to his present day songwrit-
ing, Brandt has shown dedi-
cation and determination to
his music. .
In junior high Frankie
dabbled with the guitar but
it wasn't until he was given
his first guitar for Christmas
in high school that he really
fell in love with the six string.
It didn't take long for him to
learn how to play as his focus
turned more to songwriting.
"It took me three years to
finish my first song, it was a
good learning experience/'
said Frankie, Nowadays he
plays his original songs on
stage with a few tasteful cov-
ers thrown into the mix.
His influences range from
old folk songwriters such as
Bob Dylan and Townes Van
Zandt to more modern art-
ists such as Chris Knight ahd
Pat Green. He describes his
songwriting as folk music
with a little Texas country In-
fluence.
"As a kid I listened to a
lot' of Alabamiv, my dad' re-
' cilly kept "me in check with
good music," he says. Brandt
recalls a time when his dad
took his compact discs away
as a kid and gave him a Mar-
shall Tucker Band Cd and
said, "now son this is what
good music is." Of all his in-
fluences, his dad played the
largest role in his direction
toward music. As a blues and
rock musician, Mark Frankie
gave Brandt the drive to be-
come a musician.
With one semester left
at Tarleton Brandt plans to
move to San Marcos and
pursue a musical career after
he graduates. Until then, you
can find him playing at the
Rockin' P Bar and Grill every
Thursday or you can check
him out on My Space at www.

andthecountylineband.
