I've just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "Echo" by Trapt. When I first heard this tune, I thought it was a little soft. Upon further review, it turns out I like it. Something about the melody sticks with me. The first

I've just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "Re-Align" by Godsmack. Godsmack takes a lot of flack for sounding like Alice in Chains, which I think is unfair. Considering Godsmack named themselves after an Alice in Chains song, I don't thing they
