with his emotive vocals and

select gigs at the Mile High Music
Festival and the Fox Theatre.
In the folk-rock realm, locals
are paying attention to Angie
Stevens and Hello Kavita.
Heavy rock and metal bands
also are becoming a hot
commodity in Denver.
The Swayback is busy
recording a CD in Los Angeles,
and the local band’s known for its
riveting guitar riffs and its
homage to classic rock.
Havok is a metal lover’s dream,
and the young Denver band is
ready to burst on the national and
international scenes.
“I wanted to start a band that
had great songs and be heavy,
aggressive metal,” vocalist/
guitarist David Sanchez said.
“We’re the lone rangers of the
metal genre in Denver, because
we play faster and our music
really gets the blood pumping.”
Several indie rock bands are
also drawing attention in Denver.
The two most talked about acts
are The Epilogues and Autumn
Film.
The Epilogues are getting
known for their alternative pop
sounds, while Autumn Film is
gaining note for its emotive,
piano-driven songs.
