Flyleaf Guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya: 5 Albums That Changed My Life
Later this fall, Texas alt-metallers Flyleaf will be releasing New Horizons, their fourth studio album. The follow-up to their 2009 Memento Mori full-length, the album's title track was recently released as its first single and music video (seen below).
Anyone who is familiar with Flyleaf and their musical output already knows how eclectic each member's tastes run. That's why Noisecreep has reached out to guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya and asked them to take part in our ongoing 'Five Albums That Changed My Life' series. Check out their picks below and see where some of Flyleaf's inspiration comes from.
From Flyleaf rhythm guitarist Jared Hartmann:
"This record came out right around the time I started playing guitar and I couldn't stop listening to it. I had never heard music like that before and I was really drawn to the songwriting style. Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan both really got me excited about learning to play guitar and helped inspire my style. "Motorcycle Driveby" is still one of my favorite songs today."
