Spotlights is a surprise entry on to the list this year. As I stated in my initial review from earlier this year, I had seen these guys open up for another band last year and I thought that they were OK. When Seismic came out, I gave it a listen just out of curiosity more than anything. I’m really glad I did. The husband and wife team of Mario and Sarah Quintero have crafted a very infectious slab of catchy grunge metal. Give this one a spin. I swear it will worm its way into your brain.
