Today Ends Tomorrow is a local band that is a mix of new age rock with an old school feel.
Las Vegas has produced many successful bands including Imagine Dragons and The Killers. The city has an ideal setting for talented people to showcase their music from the big stages to small venues. They build their following and work hard on their sound and presence and hope something hits and rockets them into the open arena of public view. Maybe they just want to get their views out through their sound and song lyrics. Bands like Today Ends Tomorrow is one of these local gems.
John McEwan is the frontman for the band. He is also the heart of it. He writes originals and handles the lead guitar and vocals. His style reminded me of Queensryche and Metallica. There is a touch of Iron Maiden in their sound as well as Judas Priest. It is a sweet blend of new age rock with an old school feel. Classical metal is certainly an influence.
I spoke to John McEwan recently about his music and enjoyed a moment in his sound. He says his promotional manager has a tough time classifying their music. If anything they are a unique set and an enjoyable sound. His songs carry a message of hope and of God. They portray anguish over today's social climate. The spiritual side of Rock and Roll doesn't surface often, but when it does it carries with it a powerful message.
The melodies are comfortable and the instrumental parts are energizing, emotion movers of guitar riffs and runs. John's voice is soothing and powerful. He loves what he does and you can tell that from the energy he pours into his exhibition. He is a talented soul and mentioned that his whole life revolves around those six strings. He humbly says he is a hack -- I beg to differ. This is one of their practice videos. I for one want to hear more of their music and wish them all the luck and good fortune this universe has to offer.
