Forget what your mother says, 'guitar rock' ain't dead thanks to our good musical brother, Lance Lopez. On 'Higher Ground' (his third disc for GROOVEYARD RECORDS, an indie label dedicated to outstanding TOTAL GUITAR music), L.L makes his mark and hits true legendary guitar hero status with his bad-ass riffage and mind-blowing over-the-top powerhouse lead guitar assault on the supremely brilliant 'Higher Ground' disc.

His style and intensity is definitely something that has been lacking in mainstream blues/rock music since the eighties when S.R.V. showed us what it was all about.
