Introducing: Sapphonix

I've been meaning to do this a while back, but here goes:

Introducing my new electronic music project, Sapphonix!

Pretty much this is just a name for my music that I make. Not sure if I will feel more motivated to make music now, but we'll see. Also, I have a SoundCloud where I will be uploading music, follow me here. There's nothing there yet, but there will be stuff eventually. Also, I will eventually have a picture that I will use as my main profile pic.

Why Sapphonix? Well, my birthstone is Sapphire, first of all. Also, I have always liked onyx for some reason, so that's kind of where the -onix comes from. That, and I think it sounds kinda cool. So there's that.

Music Discovery: The Gracious Few's "Closer"

"Closer" was a free single on iTunes a couple years ago, and it comes from The Gracious Few's eponymous 2010 album. The Gracious Few are actually a supergroup consisting of guitarist Chad Taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer, and drummer Chad Gracey from Live, and vocalist Kevin Martin and guitarist Sean Hennesy from Candlebox. Their style is hard alternative rock, similar to Three Days Grace or Bush. Musically, the song starts quietly, but once the drums kick in, the song has a driving beat. The guitar then takes the lead, with hard chords leading through the chorus along with Martin's piercing vocals. The verses are more subdued, with the bass driving the song along here. Overall, "Closer" is a great hard rock tune.
