Aftershock Festival Spotlight on Nothing More

September 10, 2013

Our Aftershock Spotlight is on an incredible band, Nothing More. Nothing More is from San Antonio, Texas and New Orleans, LA. This bad ass band definitely has everyone taking a good look at them. They are bringing a new life to alternative rock/progressive that actually has them challenging genres and sounds. Their unique sound has many turning heads and people wanting to know more about Nothing More. We had the opportunity to talk with Jonny Hawkins – lead vocalist and Daniel Oliver – bassist for the band. I will tell you that they both also perform secondary percussions for the band at times during their shows. You  may wonder what I mean but if you ever had the incredible opportunity to watch Nothing More you would know exactly what I was talking about. They put on a four guy percussion performance on their incredible solos that will leave you in awe!  It is a show within a show that can rival any Vegas act with their Rock n Roll Cirque du Solei on drums.  Check [Read More]

SOiL’s new album, WHOLE is a hard rock gem!

September 9, 2013

SOiL has recently released their sixth studio album, “Whole” and also marks the return of the band’s original singer, Ryan McCombs who sang with Drowning Pool for 5 years.  It is amazing when you check out this latest album. It has all the energy and intensity which is is the reason I first fell in love with SOiL many years ago!   You can pick up your copy here. The album starts right off with hard rock edgy guitars in Loaded Gun and the adrenaline filled rock continues through each song. I love the bad ass bass lines in “Ugly” and you really appreciate the return of Ryan’s vocals in  “Way Gone“. Another amazing song is “Shine On” which is dedicated to the SOiL fans for standing by the band throughout the years.  They currently have a video out for their single, “Shine On” and you can check it out here: The album continues on with the intensity and delivering their classic original SOiL sounds as in Wake Up and Amagalmation. SOiL is definitely WHOLE again as you can [Read More]
