"The ability to develop themes into suitable lyrics requires skill and creativity. Thankfully those abilities can be found in the band MAXX12. The band’s latest release “Hell’s Heroes” is the brainchild of T Michael Riddle. The basis for this honeyed ballad comes from a 1932 film of the same name. It’s the story of a group of men who rob a bank (killing the teller) and flee. In the desert they encounter a woman who is dying after having given birth. She entrusts her son to the robbers in the hopes of getting the child to his father and to safety. Ironically, the father of the child is the very same teller they killed in the holdup. MAXX12 cleverly conveys the paradigm shift in their latest track. The song reveals how life will always test your worth even when you’re destined for Hell. Riddle’s suggestive guitar inflections and tonality take you to the scorching desert and engage you in the race to make it out alive. “Hell’s Heroes” is definitely a song to add to you"  — Gracie Nutter, MAXX 12 CONTINUES TO BLAZE THE TRAIL WITH HELL’S HEROES

"Recently, the Rock world observed the one year anniversary of the passing of guitar virtuoso and rock legend Ronnie Montrose (1947-2012). The loss of this rock hero left a lasting impression on the members of MAXX12. The friendship formed by T. Michael Riddle (guitar, vocals), Jon Hampton (bass) and Ronnie Montrose back in 1984 shaped a lifelong bond as well as a congruent musical collaboration. The results of that potent partnership are evident in songs such as “Racecar”, “Wild Years”, and “Politico.” The band’s song “He Rocked the Nation” is a tribute to Ronnie and was written using album and song titles off of Montrose and Gamma recordings. The tribute song is a perfect blend of Montrose musical riffs with the distinguishable MAXX12 sound. It is without a doubt that Ronnie Montrose’ legacy will live on in these songs as well as countless other tunes, projects and ventures."  — Gracie Nutter, MAXX12 REVISITS THE COMMENCEMENT OF A LIFELONG COLLABORATION
