Calling All Astronauts release new song Red Flag

October 4, 2013

I miss the ’90s but yet I yearn for something more at the same time a bit darker. Fast forward to today and I have what I am looking for….. Calling all Astronauts! You might describe them as a fusion of everything from electro, indie, punk, goth, and a darker alternative. If you want some new refreshing alternative rock, look no further; Calling all Astronauts is your answer. Today they released a new video for their song, “Red Flag” which is off their new single and is set to release November 4th, 2013. So check out the video her:   I love those mysterious ’90s inspired vocals! This song really has me going! Make sure to check out their social media sites and stay on top of their latest news. I will see if I can bring you an interview with this incredibly fast rising band! ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: http://www.callingallastronauts.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CallingAllAstronauts Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAA_Official

Hell or Highwater is the band to keep your eye on!

October 3, 2013

I love it when a band that I have loved takes themselves to a new level and just has everyone talking about them. That band for me is Hell or Highwater. I first saw this band back in 2011 at (I think) Uproar at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View.  I just remember we were there to see Art of Dying and after their set, we walked away and heard the first few chords of them and turned around and made our way to the front! They just held us captive with their incredible Hard Rock. Fast forward a few short years and we have been listening to them ever since. Then Aftershock Festival came and they were on the Monster main stage and just took over the place. They have the most incredible energy when they perform and you can’t help but be mesmerized by them!!!! They blew the place away when they performed “Gimme Love”. You can check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together to that song which includes his [Read More]
