This heavy rock band hail from Springfield in Massachusetts. Over the past couple of decades, they’ve endured many lineup changes, but the one constant has been their love of ear-shredding hard rock songs to keep their loyal fans headbanging!

Look beyond the thunderous power chords and face-melting solos and you’ll discover this uplifting song about love, with its sincere sentiments: “So, what if I was angry? What did you think I’d do? I told you that I love you, girl … Nothing without you.”
‘Not Strong Enough’ Apocalyptica
This Finnish hard rock outfit are certainly unconventional in terms of what typically forms a loud metal band.

This is another hard rock anthem perfect for a first date, with heartfelt lyrics beneath the decibels: “I’m not strong enough to stay away. Can’t run from you. I just run back to you. Like a moth, I’m drawn into your flame.”
‘Sorry’ Buckcherry

However, they learned to persevere, and have since gone on to release eight albums, all of which have been well-received. One of the reasons for their inexorable rise in popularity has been their thought-provoking lyrics, again perfect for your inaugural romantic get-together: “I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m sorry you’re blue. I’m sorry about all things I said to you. And I know, I can’t take it back. I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds.”
‘Heart Bursts Into Flame’ Bullet For My Valentine
