They were the first band I began to grow quite fond of, after my interest in the rock genre, slowly began to re-spark after a seemingly several year hiatus.<\/p>\n<p>During that time, I saw LAYNE as a small indie band, and the first that I had actually enjoyed listening to. Above all, however, I felt they were bound to be the next big thing, and &#8220;Somebody&#8221; was that destined track that won me over, along with many other listeners who are now big fans!<\/p>\n<p>While I was disappointed that the band did not have all that much material out, I eventually discovered the jewels that were some of their other tracks, such as &#8220;Warrior&#8221; and &#8220;The Lonely&#8221;, a few special tunes that I love to leave on loop from time to time, that give me that chilled, uplifting feeling, that is very hard to obtain from a lot of music these day&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jhy5xJtjeTM\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to 2016, the pop-rock duo recently released their latest single since &#8220;Somebody&#8221;, entitled &#8220;Good&#8221;, \u00a0beautiful, creative track, with a visually impressive Music Video.
