U-Review: The Heat Rocks "Heat Rock"

We're going to change things up a little bit this time. We at the Tortoise General Blog (#salute) recognize that our readers are pretty smart (let's be honst though, this isn't Forbes, but at the same time it isn't that Perez Hilton nonsense either, so we're in the middle I guess). And being smart you can make up your own mind about music. So today we're going to present a track (and video) to you, and let you write your own evaluation (with a little help of course). Power to the people!

"But that defeats the whole purpose of this blog!" -You.

WE know, and we are willing to take that risk so that we don't have to review this ourselves.
