Have you Voted yet???

February 29, 2012

  Yes it is that time of year where people start asking you about who you are voting for and wondering who will win. I mean really, we all want to know how the voting will turn out. No, I don’t mean the Presidential Election! I am talking about something more important and much more relevant to our everyday lives…. Who will win the Paul Gray Best Bassist Award or Riff Lord. What I am talking about is the Revolver Golden Gods Awards which are being held on April 11th, 2012 at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles.   The world’s loudest rock magazine, Revolver is the proud parent of The Golden Gods Awards which was first introduced in 2009. Back in 2009 some of the winners were: Vinnie Paul (Hellyeah/Pantera) for the Most Awesomely Good Drummer, Slipknot for Best Riff and Best Live Band, Suicide Silence for Best New Talent and Ozzy Osbourne for the Lifetime Achievement Award.     Well, this year the categories host a wide variety of great metal heads and [Read More]

Fall from Grace is coming to you!

February 16, 2012

There is an alternative rock band that hails from Seattle and is quickly spreading their emotion filled music your way. These guys bring me back to a great place where I couldn’t get enough of great music. It was the dawn of the alternative rock age and I think I was about twentysomething heading to places like the DNA or Paradise Lounge in  San Francisco and being lucky enough to catch new and upcoming acts in the early ’90s like LIVE, Jesus Jones, School of Fish, Blur, Catherine Wheel and so much more. This is what this band brings, new energy and great sound to those who enjoy rock and alternative. When you listen to an uptempo song like “18 & Out” you can really enjoy the vocals of Tryg Littlefield as he belts out his rebellious anthem along the great guitar work by Brian Olson and Ty McDonald and Jesse Smith on Drums and Justin McDonald on Bass and Vocals. It is no wonder that these guys from Fall from Grace won the Fuse TV [Read More]

Show us your "Sorry" photo for Art of Dying’s new single.

February 9, 2012

  As many of you know “Art of Dying” was number one on my list of bands for you to know in 2011. Well they have just released their latest single, “Sorry” from their major label debut album, “Vices and Virtues”.  Following the great success of “Die Trying” and my personal fave, “Get Thru This” which topped the Siriux XM Octane Big  Uns Countdown for the week of 1/21/12, “Sorry” delivers in a grand way. This song is a soul searching power ballad that delivers energy as well as great vocals along with some shredding guitar work.You can’t call this a simple ballad, it delivers energy, emotion and great rock and roll. Something we could all use a little more of right now. My favorite lyrics of the song; Now, I’m sorry that I left you I can’t go back  I can’t change anything The song really gets you to reevaluate choices you have made in the past or situations where we all wished could have had different outcomes. But those regrets seem to linger [Read More]

SHINEDOWN always delivers something new!!

February 1, 2012

I have a special secret for you!! If you want to hear snippets from Shinedown’s new album, Amaryllis… read on… I have been patiently waiting for the SHINEDOWN album, AMARYLLIS. Actually, I have been very impatient! I have loved all my Shinedown music for many years and had the opportunity to see them and meet them on several occasions. I loved when they released their new song, “Bully”. This band not only delivers great music but a message for those who have ever been bullied or who bully! That is right, listen up folks…. we are not going to take it anymore. This was personal for me since I remember dealing with bullying as a young girl in school and then unfortunately as the parent of a victim. Ryan was only in 1st grade when he started complaining of stomach aches and not wanting to go to school. It took us almost two years to get to the real cause of his nervous stomach; he was getting bullied and didn’t know how to deal with [Read More]
