I Dreamed of Killing You
'I Dreamed Of Killing You' A recent recording of a long time concert favorite - this track is pretty much quintessential Thirty 2 Life if you ask me. Top notch musicianship, a dynamic song structure and intense emotion filled vocals. It rocks - 'nuff said.

Dingofest Music Festival – Beale Street (Memphis), 8/29-31/03
Taking up as many as 15 venues on historic Beale Street, Dingo Entertainment brought together over 100 bands for this historic event. Due to space constraints, here are a few of the highlights. The Internationals put on a great display of rock and roll at the Hard Rock Café. For this set, they went as a guitar/drum duo and belted out straight ahead, blues–based rock and roll from their excellent CD, We’ve Never Heard Of You Either.

Barcode put on a powerful display of brutal, pummeling hardcore metal at the Daisy Theater, while Thirty To Life had an excellent set with a progressive/power metal basis. Eden’s Alley put on a strong modern rock set, as did Rail (with former members of Roxy Blue and Tora Tora) who had a powerful and unique twist on the nu-metal genre. (John Binder)

At Any Cost
"At Any Cost" both typifies and diverges from the mold of the heaviest of guitar-based Rock. There are the requisite grinding, crunching rhythm guitars and blazing lead guitar solo work. A nice booming drum and deep-dish bass lend structure and rhythm, and good clear vocal work seals the deal. There's also a keen sense of playing with the archetypes of the genre. It's the reverent yet cheeky attitude that elevates the band over being yet another incarnation of Van Halen. It takes imagination and musicianship to inject your own ideas into a well established musical style, and these guys are doing just that, masterfully.

Rocking On The Ridge
One of the great local bands performing at the Rocking On The Ridge festival in Jonesboro, Ar was Thirty 2 Life.This band is being well supported by The Buzz radio station. Their music rocked with the style of old school rock, but with the hardness of what any new band out on the market has to offer. They started with a medium size crowd, but within a few minutes of them playing the crowd doubled in size. Their music appealed to the young and the old alike. Look for this band to be on the lips of many fans in the future. Yes, this was the one new rock band that impressed me, to be so heavy and yet still be from Jonesboro. Remember, Thirty 2 Life, some of the best music heard during the festival.

At Any Cost
Psycho II
Mother, Mother blood blood.
There is a crease of Holyiness and strong spiritual vibe. If I didn't know any better Ozzy Ozbourne wrote this!
The performance is well done. The sound you guys created here tell a good story and projection is awesome. The vocalist on the other hand steals this away from Ozzy. This is the new Rock of Ages. It's time to let the new guys in!!! Keep in mind that songs over 4:00 are hard to get on the radio, but there is room for editing here! Tell your guitarist Steve Vaie has been teaching him well!
