Energy like electric!!! Testing Ground hails from South Carolina and one can definitely feel the vibrant energy delivered in the hardcore rock sounds emanating from these boyz!
With touches of punk music to hip-hop influences, the musicianship is evident in their song structures and deliveries.
With the ability to take us from straight in your face angered aggression, to heartfelt passion as demonstrated on the "For You" track, Testing Ground is sure to find a solid fan base with the Heavy Metal/Punk generation. Moving into what has to be my favourite of the tracks I had the pleasure to hear, "Time" demonstrates electrifying guitar progressions and solidly smooth baselines which give this band a definitive hardcore groove.
Fire! Hot as hell and ready to rock! Want real, take it whether you like it or not rock and roll? Then you've got to check out Testing Ground. 'Bout to explode on a set near you...
