Interview with Apocalyptica as they are out on tour!

April 13, 2015

We recently brought you our Concert Review of SIXX: A.M., Apocalyptica and Vamps as they delivered a night of amazing music in San Francisco. You can check out our review here. Apocalyptica took to the stage and delivered a mind-blowing set of their instrumental, rock/metal music featuring cellos. You can’t help but watch them in amazement as they bring a whole new level to classical music by taking it up to 11 and bringing out the metal. I was excited to catch their new vocalist, Franky Perez. He has such powerful vocals that were the perfect fit to the big sound of Apocalyptica. They also performed some of their new songs and completely blew everyone away with their new hit, Shadowmaker! We had the chance to chat with with Eicca and Paavo shortly before their set and you can check it out here: Check out the incredible photos from our Rockin Ryan of their San Francisco set: Make sure to check the upcoming show dates and get yourself to a show.

Alternative/electronica rock band ReAktion from Chile release new lyric video

April 9, 2015

Allow me to introduce you to the fresh new sound of ReAktion, an alternative/electronica rock band from Santiago, Chile.

They have just released a new lyric video for their song, 10 Steps To Success. The song is off of their upcoming album, SELKNAM.
