I Saved Logan: ashleyoverride's newest favorite.

Oh the music scene. A constant up-and-coming trend. Every teenager wants to have their own band, be in a band, manage a band... So what's it all about? Where is the joy and absolute thrill in screaming your lungs out for a group of awkward teenagers in bright, gruesome local band t shirts and too tight jeans or basketball shorts? For the central valley's latest team players I Saved Logan, it's a Freddie Mercury feel: the love of the music, and seeing the kids jump. Influenced by bands as A Day To Remember and Underoath the four man group do what they love and live what they do. Just sitting here in the sweaty, raunchy 10x10 garage bedroom they lovingly call their practice space,I can feel the magic happening. Frontman Taylor Cantrell, 18, is anything but an amateur with six years experience. If Eric Clapton was in with the hardcore music scene of today, his "Slow Hand" prodigy spot would've been filled by the teen easily. His progressions are nearly unnoticeable, fingers moving rapidly and easily across the mehogany fret board. Guitarist Timmey Ellefson,16 and a two year player, glides in smoothly alongside Cantrell. The two feed off of each other even during rehearsal, throwing out ideas that roar from the half stack amps. Drummer Jon Treece, a three year percussionist at age 16, rhythmically leads the group with reinvented beats and his own flare of mix and match sound. Powerful bassist Jacob Denning, leader of the pack at 19, comes through strong keeping his sound up and assisting Treece in rhythm carry. They team up for a fantastically sturdy bottom of the sound pyramid. I Saved Logan is currently-and constantly-recording and looking for new material for their set list. The last half hour of their rehearsals are spent freestyling, each member bringing his own plate to the table.
It's incredible to watch the brotherhood create, phenomenal to hear the completed works. Their first show is November 22, a local Battle of the Bands at Slim's bar in San Francisco. Listening to them is sure to make your heart thump with melodical joy.
