It’s time for a b5Media Music Channel Theme Day and here I present 5 Tracks That Rocked The Summer Of 2008. I could probably have found more than 5, but here are the 5 that I liked the best.

Candlebox came back this summer with Into The Sun, their first record in a long time.Into The Sun is filled with some great Candlebox. The one that stands out to me and was a favorite off Into The Sun is Stand. It’s got that signature Candlebox sound and is a great track to start off their step back into the world of modern rock.

Seether’s Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces came out almost a year ago, but the song Rise Above This is still a killer rock song and reminds us all that there is always an alternative to suicide. No matter how bad things can get, there are avenues you can take to get help and that it effects the ones that love and care for you.

Shinedown returned this summer with The Sound Of Madness. If you’re a fan of Shinedown then you know that they never disappoint. With heavy rock songs also comes power ballads and Shinedown knows how to write the ballads. Call Me is one of a few ballads on The Sound Of Madness, but this one stands out the most.

Bigelf just released Cheat The Gallows recently and if you’re not familiar with Bigelf, get ready for an interesting ride. In a review of Bigelf I said that they kind of sound like a mixture of The Beatles, Pink Floyd And Black Sabbath. That might be a difficult thing to imagine but trust me, it all mixes well and makes for a good time. Gravest Show On Earth has you wondering where this ride is going to take you, but once you get into the groove you won’t want to get off.

Torche, as I mentioned before is a band that I learned about when I saw them live this past may. The opened for The Sword and caught my interest pretty quickly. Meanderthal of the the album with the same name is 4 minutes of down-tuned thunderous glory. While it’s strictly an instrumental, it’s a real cool fist pounding song. Meanderthal is also filled with other great tunes as well so check it out.
