As you may already know Full Devil Jacket from Jackson, TN has been working hard on their new album. It might have been 12 years since their last release but if you have listened to them today, you wouldn’t have guessed it. They are focused, passionate and determined at bringing their big sound hard rock to your ears. Full Devil Jacket is Josh Brown on Vocals, Brian Kirk and Paul Varnick on Guitars, Moose Douglass on Bass and Keith Foster on Drums. They have been busy working with Justin Rimer (12 Stones) at Cross Trax Studios and I just heard one of their first songs from the upcoming album, “Seven Times Down” and it is going to blow your mind!!! Last night I was busy cooking dinner with the family as I received an email with the new song, had the kids play it as I cook and instantly all of us were in love with it.

Black Label Society “UNBLACKENED” out now!

September 24, 2013

Black Label Society release their highly awaited CD/DVD of their stripped down performance from the Club Nokia in Los Angeles several months ago. By no means is it stripped down in quality and performance! UNBLACKENED is Unbelievable, whether you are a long time Zakk Wylde and BLS fan or just finding out about this new album. You will be treated to live renditions that create an incredible bluesy rock jam style feel to them. The DVD/CD is quite amazing. It was filmed and recorded earlier this year at famed Los Angeles’ “Club Nokia”. Zakk Wylde in addition to his vocals, plays both guitar and piano, joined by Nick Catanase on guitar, John DeServio on bass/vocals, Chad Szeliga on drums, Derek Sherinian on keyboards/piano, and Greg Locascio providing additional vocals. Some of my favorites so far are Sold My Soul, House of Doom, Queen of Sorrow, Throwing it All Away, Rust, I Thank You Child, Song for You and of course Ain’t No Sunshine. But believe me, the list can go and on with every song. This is [Read More]

September 24, 2013

For Tuesdays Travels I not only introduce you to the incredible music of Ben Draiman but I also have a review of his incredible EP “The Past is Not Far Behind” Ben was born and raised in Chicago but currently resides in Israel so he is our Tuesdays Travels pick of the week! This EP is truly a musical gem that will have you captivated by the emotionally driven vocals and melodic rock style. A perfect combination! If you are a fan of Coldplay or Shinedown… I think I found you your new favorite album….. First song off the EP is Soon Enough and is the perfect start. It has a beautiful piano intro that introduces Ben’s mysterious yet comforting vocals. it builds up to an incredible rock style that emotionally draws you in. Lyrically I am blown away and just can’t wait to see what the next song brings me. Avalanche starts in and you can’t help but enjoy the Black Sabbath guitar with touches of Blue Oyster Cult style thrown in to accentuate [Read More]

Interview & Photos of Pop Evil at Aftershock Festival

September 23, 2013

Last week at the Aftershock Festival I had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite bands live for the 1st time!! I have had several missed opportunities at catching a Pop Evil concert for the last couple years. This time, there was nothing getting in my way. I headed over from the Media Tent to the Ernie Ball stage as fast as I could since Halestorm was taking the main stage. Then as I got closer and closer to the Ernie Ball stage, it was packed die hard Pop Evil fan’s like myself. It is so hard when these festivals have conflicting stage times but it was incredible to see the crowd at the Ernie Ball stage and Pop Evil dominated every second of their set. They truly captivate the audience and everyone was singing along to Trenches and Deal with the Devil. They also played one of my absolute favorites from their new Onyx album, Goodbye My Friend. They have such great stage presence and owned that stage with their adrenaline filled [Read More]

Another solid performance by Buckcherry at Aftershock Festival

September 22, 2013

Aftershock Festival was filled with so many great bands and gave us two days of non stop rock and metal. One band that I was looking forward to was Buckcherry since they put on a solid performance every time you see them and they just seem to maintain that 150% energy throughout their set. Aftershock Festival brought in an estimated 30,000 + fans who despite the high temperatures, gave back just as much energy to the bands as they performed. When Buckcherry took the stage, you could hear the crowd roar as they were about to witness one of the best rock shows of the day. Highlights of their set was when Stevie D. came out onto the speakers and started shredding on his guitar for his solo. Their set list was as follows: Lit Up Rescue Me All Night Long Recovery Everything Sorry Dead Ridin’ Porno Star Gluttony Crazy Bitch What an awesome time that I didn’t want to end. We had a chance to talk with Stevie D. backstage and here is that [Read More]
