An Interview with Adrian Patrick of Otherwise as he brings the light through the darkness

September 7, 2014

We have been very excited about the return of Otherwise to this year’s Monster Energy Aftershock Festival which is right before their new album, Peace At All Costs is released on September 16th. The new album has been garnering a lot of well deserved attention. The first single, Darker Side of the Moon has been quickly climbing the Active Rock charts. In regards to Darker Side of the Moon, Adrian Patrick had this to say: “Darker Side of the Moon is just the beginning of the journey that we plan to take with everyone. The Moon is a heavenly body that we’ve come to cherish and worship throughout our meager lives… but there is another side to it that most of us know nothing about. We hope that our album Peace At All Costs will help the world navigate the depths of its own darkness and break through into the Light on the other side.” We recently had the chance to talk with frontman Adrian Patrick about the new album and their upcoming tour.

Limp Bizkit is our Aftershock Featured Band of the Day

August 25, 2014

Today our featured Aftershock Festival band of the day is Limp Bizkit. I have been really excited to finally get to see them perform at this year’s Aftershock Festival. I have not only enjoyed their music for nearly the past 20 years. There is something about the music of Limp Bizkit that when you might be at a loss for words in certain situations or need to express yourself in the most creative way; their music seems to sum it all up in an intense energy filled style. They formed back in 1994 and have had quite a successful career, even after taking a break or several year long hiatus, their albums were still charting and selling. Their stop at the Aftershock Festival will kick off their tour that takes them through fall with Machine Gun Kelly. Get ready for some new Limp Bizkit too. They have just released the video for their new song, Endless Slaughter that features some amazing live footage from Europe. Check it out here: Band Members: John Otto Wes [Read More]
