As promised in this post , the artist who received the best reader response would have another song posted on the site. David Singer won that honor hands down. I've decided to raise the bar a little and offer to send a copy of his album, EAST of the FAULT LINE , to one lucky reader. The rules are simple : Tell us what you love about Rock Sellout. Then, offer a little constructive criticism and [...]

The instrumentation provided by his backing band The Sweet Science is solid and well orchestrated and offers music which builds and falls in well [...]
