‘Drago’, by contrast, keeps it patriotic with Russian band 25/17’s ‘Mama Mi Vse Tiagelo Bolni’ setting a tone of focus and discipline. Bryce Mitchell often opts for faith-inspired tracks like ‘God Had Other Plans’ by Zauntee. Whereas, Nate Landwehr electrifies crowds with classics like ‘Back in Black’ by AC/DC.
