We know you are all addicted to music and here is your next new fix! For our spotlight band feature we bring to you Wind Walkers out of Massachusetts. They are like the bright light at the end of a metalcore tunnel bringing creative and inspiring songs to the post hardcore scene. Their music features emotionally driven lyrics, catchy melodies, all the while maintaining a ferocious dose of metal and powerful vocals. They are soon to release their debut album, The Shadow Thieves and have recently premiered their new song, Dead Tom’s Dead which was produced by legendary metal producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada). The song is amazing and vocalist Corey Prokowiew had this to say about the track. “I wrote this song during a time of grief when I had to say farewell to somebody close to my heart. The concept behind “Dead Tom’s Dead” involves how unexpected loss in a family, or in any relatable situation, can lead to a lot of self-blame, self-realization, and sometimes even self-harm.

Our Band of the Day is A New Way To Live Forever

June 23, 2015

Today I wanted to introduce you to a new band that is truly delivering a positive message along with their driving indie rock music. They are A New Way To Live Forever which was formed by Russ Rogers of The Numb Ones fame. The band is ready to grab your attention with their new EP, Monument. Russ comments on how he started the band, “At the end of The Numb Ones the band dissolved and I started a band with my then wife called Kill Miss Pretty which was an electro-punk band down here in Florida and I wrote everything for that too but I had her for a singer. We did one show and then on a whim we dressed up as Alice in Wonderland so then from then on every show was a different theme like “We’re all going to be penguins” and from there we started gathering a lot of momentum. From there my buddy Scott who was the original guitar player from Marilyn Manson joined the band in its last year. [Read More]
