Interview with RavenEye at Aftershock Festival

November 1, 2015

  We recently brought you our coverage of Raveneye from their spectacular set at this year’s Aftershock Festival. We promised you an interview and here it is! In case you missed our coverage from their opening set at Aftershock, here is a repost: * * * * Saturday morning you found many of the overnight campers at this year’s Aftershock Festival just waking up from their slumber. That soon changed as they heard Raveneye kick off the festival with their high energy set. The Aftershock Festival started off with a bang promptly at 11:50 with Raveneye taking the Coors Light Stage.  They are the perfect band to get the show off and running, as we were recently blown away by their performance opening for Slash in San Francisco at the Warfield Theater. They did it again with a heaping dose of adrenaline as they were jumping around the stage, off amps, even doing the guitar tower piggy back! You didn’t need any coffee or Monster, their energy was contagious and you could soon feel your [Read More]

Interview with Jeff Brown of Art of Dying at Aftershock Festival 2015

October 31, 2015

We were very excited to see Art of Dying return to California and play a kick ass set at Aftershock Festival 2015. They took over the main stage with a fierce set. They have had quite a successful year with the release of their EP Rise Up which has garnered them high praise for their well written emotionally driven tracks. Their music truly brings a deep connection to the listener and you can’t help but be held captive by them. It was amazing to see a full crowd singing each and every word to their songs and creating a lasting memory for them all. Here are some photos by our Rockin Ryan of their set: We had the chance to chat with drummer Jeff Brown and are pleased to bring you that interview here. He tells us more about what they are working on next, touring, and also what was his favorite childhood Halloween costume.

Interview and photos of The Pink Slips at Aftershock Festival 2015

October 28, 2015

Aftershock was filled with so many great bands and one of our favorites were The Pink Slips. We were so excited to catch our featured Spotlight bands perform and they completely blew us away! The Pink Slips have successfully rekindled our love for punk rock and synth. Imagine a young band that brings to life your love of 90’s synth pop music and wraps it deliciously in young spirited punk rock. No need to dream about it, because The Pink Slips is the answer to your wishes. The LA based punk rock band, Pink Slips is fronted by 18 year old Grace McKagan who goes by the moniker GRAVE. Her performance was incredible as she delivered punk angst vocals balancing her devilish and demure side. It was like a blend of Debbie Harry and Juliette Lewis & the Licks wrapped in Grace Kelly flair, but yet, was completely original. Her charismatic edge dances amid a fun flirty side with her music. The solid band was fiercely energetic and insured that everyone was having a great time.  Check out [Read More]

October 26, 2015

    Saturday morning you found many of the overnight campers at this year’s Aftershock Festival just waking up from their slumber.

They did it again with a heaping dose of adrenaline as they were jumping around the stage, off amps, even doing the guitar tower piggy back! You didn’t need any coffee or Monster, their energy was contagious and you could soon feel your blood pumping and energy rising. The crowd was still arriving to the festival but that didn’t keep them from enjoying the infectious music of Raveneye and leaving quite an impression on those that were lucky enough to catch their set. It was the perfect opening for [Read More]
