Band Review
Driving through Summerville, Ga., I feel as if I should be listening to country music. The bluegrass banjos and the Southern twang of the almost authentic cowboy singing really match Summerville's down home atmosphere. But as I walk up to Georgia Highlands College's own Casey Smith's garage, the sound I hear belongs anywhere but Summerville.
HeartCakeParty is a five man, up and coming, melodic metal group. Even though they have only been together for a little over a month, they already have big plans for touring and recording in their future.
Metal fans will not be disappointed with HeartCakeParty. They will make listeners want to run for their lives in unison to the beat of Mark DiGregorio's drumming and Smith's melodic screaming.
Brett Jones and Jonathan Potts play lead guitar while Zack Pledger plays bass.
This eccentric recipe of personalities causes a great vibe with their small "Hot-Topicish" fan-base.
HeartCakeParty's first official gig is Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. at the Gore Community Center in Summerville.
Speaking of the band's future, Smith said, "If you don't set your goal and reach it, it's OK. Just go as far as you can."
