Hailing from the small town of Bourne (Massachusetts), Tyler Sanford is a Modern Rock artist/singer-songwriter who incorporates rather serious plots into his songs. Though his main specialty concerns story songs involving mostly fictional characters, his also touches on such topics as love, betrayal, war, and one of his songs even revolves around racism. He has just released a new album known as Nothing To Fear, featuring some power-driven rock songs backed by some heart-felt ballads. Nothing To Fear is the next step in Tyler Sanford's songwriting career, and you can tell just listening to the album. The style of music demonstrated is a lot more intense than usual, and the vocals are stronger than ever. Some of the songs featured on this compilation are Only The Strong Survive (an in your face rock song with a nice melodic hook), It Couldn't Happen To You (a deeply touching story song, which is what Tyler does best), and the title track itself, Nothing To Fear.
