On June 12th, 2012, Melinda Rose, an EP from the 17-year-old multi-instrumentalist/songwriter, Danny Stoddard, becomes available through iTunes,Amazon, and Spotify. Produced by Matty Amendola, under Froductions, Danny recorded a collection of five tracks, which is, in its entirety, hardcore, heavy hitting, rock and roll. ! With loud distorted guitars, dropped tuned riffs with a varying degree of complexity, emphatic rhythms, dense bass and drum sound with driving rhythms, and a blend of vigorous vocals, hardcore “screamo” and melodic three-part harmonies, Melinda

Rose redefines the genre of heavy rock.

  Although he was still very new to the process, Matty forced Danny to come into the studio with as much of "the song" as possible. And so he did; usually presenting the song’s concept, one riff, and a basic melody with several lines, the mentor and his protégé would then write the rest together. With only five songs featured on this EP, they had actually written and recorded over twenty in the past year. With continued guidance from the established producer and musician, you can expect to see much more from the young, talented, energetic and driven artist, Danny Stoddard, as he continues to perfect his sound, and pave his own way in the music industry.
