For hard rock fans, you may find this spotlight a Poynte of interest. OK, forget the lame joke; we have an amazing band for you. Years ago, we went to see Drowning Pool live and got there early. We're glad we did because we got to witness Poynte's performance. It was full of passion, yet their heavy guitar riffs were like a teeth shattering kick to the mouth. Years later, their January 2012 EP “One More Day” shows the same passion and power as that live show we were lucky to see. For example, their song “Forever” has beautiful yet somewhat bleak lyrics surrounded by a tornado of earthshaking bass, drums, and guitar. Also, if you like a band with solos (and who doesn’t), then there are plenty to be heard in their tracks. Originally, the band came up with their name as a play-on acronym. POYNTE: Persons Of Young Nature Torturing the Elderly, but we don’t know if they kept the acronym idea anymore. As mentioned in their bio, Poynte’s shared the stage with bands that include 10 Years, Drowning Pool, Saliva, Pop Evil, Taproot, Fuel, and many more. As you would expect, if you like those bands, then Poynte is one to add to the collection.
