In most rock bands, we hear most about the singer and the guitarist...you know...those two up front tend to get the most attention, and the most adoration.

That leaves the bass player and the drummer to do the best that they can. This is often extremely unfair as they form the foundation of any bands sound....the bass and the beat.

You can have the greatest lead singer on the planet, and the flashiest guitarist around...but if you ain't got that swing...you ain't got a thing.

So we're gonna salute the people at the back of the stage. The people who lay down the groove so the singer and guitarist have something to work with.

These are new-rocks greatest rhythm sections.
