50 Mile Ride
The folk pop scene is something new and exciting to the 21st Century.
It opens arms to bands like 50 Mile Ride, originally from Reading, Pennsylvania, USA.
A fresh faced band making their way through the music industry, dominated by pop hits.
It is strange to believe that a band so young are influenced by some of the great singer song-writers, like Eric Clapton and John Lennon.
The band are currently number two in the Reverbnation chart for folk music, creating their own music and sound.
Original lyrics and raw sounds, they’re a band hoping to expand and stretch themselves, to ensure they make an impact.
There are 11 tracks available to stream on their Facebook and Reverbnation page.
It’s fresh sounding music, that lifts you up.
The acoustic guitar is refreshing, but the vocals are whiny.
Certain songs are a once in a life time listen, but then something changes and all of a sudden you’re hitting repeat on the other four or five songs.
50 Mile Ride aren’t a band who are going to storm straight through to the charts, but their music is enjoyable.
It’s a group of lads loving what they do, and it is expressed in the way they play and create their music.
It’s original and that is what many other bands need to take from this.
Be original, and create something different!
With radio appearances and an increasing number of followers on their social networking pages, the band are gradually building a fan base for themselves.

There’s a lot of synthesizer stuff out these days, a lot of autetunod voices, and it always kind of bugged me. It’s fun to listen to, but I can’t play this stuff on my guitar really! And it would be refreshing to find some more singers with voices they don’t change up. Like, natural talent. Remember why The Beatles were so awesome? Yeah. Anyway, I’m not cutting down today’s music, just, am I the only one who wishes there was some kind of 100% natural music with actual guitars, drums (that aren’t synthesized rock beats), real pianos, good voices that are actually the true voice of the singer? I actually have a theory that one day there will be like like a musical revolution I guess. Because there isn’t really one thing that sticks out and is the thing of 2011 these days. Like, there was the age of Elvis, and I know Nirvana, Black Sabath, The Who all and don’t forget The Beatles were all the standing out stuff at one point or another. There’s not really a top band or singer for this age. I think Pink, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Bruno Mars all are pretty natural. But I kind of think there’s got to be some musical group coming that will be natural and be the thing of 2011 s musical world’ and set a new trend or something. Sounds stupid, but think about it. Whatdo you think about today’s music? I know my guitar teacher gets really mad about synths!
