"Soldier of War" always brings a tear to my eye. Amazing song. Some people who don't understand what the song is about, thinks it vilifies those serving our country, but it's quite the opposite. Tim (the lead singer), says the situations in the song are true stories told to him by real soldiers who he has spoken to throughout the U.S. He just wanted to show the sacrifices these people make and the memories they have to live with when they return home. It's more or less a story of why so many soldiers have PTSD.

I hate when actors try to sing, but Momsen is legit. She's probably one of my top 3-4 female rock singers. Halestorm is also pretty good. They did a remake of "All I wanna do is make love to you" by Heart and it came out amazing.

I second DarloJAG about Rise Against. They are awesome.  I've heard Halestorm too, very talented band with a great lead singer.  They did a remake of "Slave to the Grind" that was the first thing I think I heard by them and was really impressed.

Momsen is definitely legit. I initially got turned on to them via the "My Medicine" video and went on to grab "Going to Hell" when it first came out. Great stuff.
