I've recently been attending some local concerts and one of the best bands here in Rochester is lead by Joe of
Double Entendre. Joe currently is fronting the band
Forgotten Impact that does some serious heavy rocking from Metallica, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and other great metal bands.
Double Entendre is Joe's solo project and he has some of his original music online that just totally kicks ass. He not only sings and writes his own tunes, but jams on the guitar.
I'd recommend checking him out at his home page here and you can check out some of his tunes here. The song Leg is my personal favorite. Some serious jamming going on there.
