For our first breakaway segment (Dink's Riff Reviews), Dink goes solo and reviews one of our fav lead vocalist's debut release, Rejoice In The Suffering by Todd La Torre. He highlights a few tunes he digs and gives a little history and background on Todd. We feel he breathed new life into Queensryche as well by staying true to the Queensryche sound. Enjoy and please give us your feedback!

Dink & Dave discuss only SOME of the favorite vocalists of the melodic hard rock genre and beyond! There are SO many that we love that we had to make this a Volume 1 though! Check it and give your thoughts!

And in light of the passing of one of our favorites, the incredible CJ Snare of Firehouse, Dave added a little intro to honor him as well because this was filmed well before knowing of what was to come. We will be doing a special episode artist/singer spotlight on Firehouse in the very near future.

In the meantime though, honor CJ by cranking some Firehouse, Rubicon Cross, etc.! And never forget him!
