# 10 TANGO DOWN “Identity Crisis”

I appreciate all the kind words the new album has received. We set the bar high on this one, and your acknowledgment is not only appreciated greatly. It is a validation! Hell it's freaking AWESOME!! So what makes, making RockEyez top list for 2012 better then other lists? They're, our people! From our neck of the woods. From the old club scene and everything in between. It's always great to get the respect of your peers. It's even better to get it from family. That's what RockEyez is...FAMILY!! No one champions the cause and wears their heart on their sleeves as these guys do. Guys like Brian and his crew are the people that drive us to create an album like Identity Crisis. So a big PHAT Thank YOU for being there!

Special Thanks; I would like to thank many people but first my family for hanging in there. RockEyez has changed a lot since the beginning days and basically I do the site myself with my wife with some help from Mark Balogh and David Felix. I have so many thanks for Artists, PR relations, Record companies and many others. This was the most difficult year for our site with very little help but I keep my head up and do as much myself as possible. I love helping new bands and artists and finding that undiscovered gem in the rough that we can help out. Our site focuses on the underground as much as established artists and hope to continue that in the New Year. Thanks to all our readers and supports and our biggest support Frontiers records.
