Midnight Cinema new EP will have you Holding your Breath!

July 9, 2013

So guess what just came out? If you had your calendars marked right as I told you, you would be listening along with me to the new Midnight Cinema EP. If not, let me tell you about this great new EP by Midnight Cinema which is composed of members of the highly successful band, Thriving Ivory. As I told you before… It is not as much a reincarnation but more of an evolution of their creative talents.  Clayton Stroope  will have you again, magically transported  as his vocals take you on an emotional journey that truly touches your soul.  Drew Cribley’s melodic guitar playing will heightens your senses and Paul Niedermier brings it all together on drums. Midnight Cinema is truly harmonious symmetry at its finest. You start off  “Crazy Beautiful” that just brings the energy driven emotional vocals to life. You can’t help but start right at the beginning with yourself moving and ready to inhale more of the  beauty that Midnight Cinema brings. Next, they bring you their hit that I told you [Read More]

Breaking News: Earlier this week Hinder had to cancel their Denver show due to illness and today a new report is in.

The Show Must Go On for Papa Roach

July 3, 2013

Vocal issues have plagued lead singer Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach for some time now. It was last year that he spoke about a node forming on his vocal chord and which eventually led him to  have surgery. He successfully recovered from that surgery and has gone on to kick ass at shows with his incredible voice. He truly is one of my favorite vocalists! Last week, due to vocal issues, Papa Roach had to cancel their show in Berlin. They did continue on to play on the next shows but we are still concerned for Jacoby and his voice. Today he posted a photo of himself with the caption : OXYGEN AND STEROIDS FOR SWOLLEN VOCAL CHORDS!!! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! He mentioned that this is not anything new and he does have to do this about twice a year. We hope that this will help and that he will get the rest he needs for his vocal chords. We need you healthy Jacoby and hope you feel better. We want to keep [Read More]
