We received 279 song submissions for the January songwriting contest. And, it quickly became clear that there are many definitions for “rock” out there. From acoustic ballads to power pop to full-blown metal, we heard a wide range of songs that could all be argued as “rock” (goes to show anyone that it is a difficult task to throw a label on any musical work!).

When we released Double Bass Mania way back in 2004, nothing of its kind existed. Literally, there was nothing out there that was for metal songwriters and guitarists in terms of loop-based songwriting tools. If we remember correctly, this way before anything like Superior Drummer or the like was even around.
