14 Bands that will rule 2014

Countdown of 14 Bands that will rule 2014! 11 goes to We As Human

December 14, 2013

We are counting down the top 14 bands that we think will rule 2014. Today is our day 11 and we are pleased to present We As Human for that honor. We As Human have had quite a successful year with the release of their self titled debut album and toured extensively in 2013. This year was the first time I heard We As Human and they really became the talk of the scene and within weeks everyone was getting to know their name. We were excited to catch them at the Aftershock Festival where they started the festival off with a kick ass in your face set. They were the first band of the day and everyone was rushing to get in to check them out after they hit the stage and played the first notes of their song. The crowd loved them and many came in not knowing who We As Human were, but left Aftershock with We As Human being one of their top festival highlights.  You can read our show review [Read More]

An interview with Country Rock artist Josey Milner

December 1, 2013

I have a secret for you. When I was young, there was a time when I was really into country music thanks to the guy I was dating, and I still have a soft spot for country. What I love is that over the years, country has been given a fresh vibrant life as rock n roll seemed to find it’s way in.  Today, there is a young country artist out there that definitely rocks the country music! That artist is the young and talented Josey Milner of Missouri. Josey‘s debut single, Not Pretty Enough not only had the country world taking a serious look at her talent but it also help launch her anti-bullying campaign as a spokesperson for her Angles and Doves. Josey  has recently released her new single, Cowgirls and it is definitely a crowd pleaser! We recently had the opportunity to interview Josey Milner and are pleased to present it to you here: * * * * *  Music Junkie Press: Thank you Josey for taking the time out to talk with us here [Read More]
