The Yellow Dogs tragic shooting/suicide by ex bandmate

November 11, 2013

Music for me always represents a way to deal with emotions ranging from hate, anger to love and bliss. I think with music, my hope is we all can come together and can eradicate the hate and violence that is in this world today. It is sad to hear about the tragic fatal shooting of three band members of The Yellow Dogs from Iran. This indie punk/rock band relocated from Iran and settled into Brooklyn, seeking more musical freedom and they had been quite successful at getting their high energy music out there. Recently, one of the band members who was kicked out of the band, returned to their apartment at 318 Maujer St, Brookly, NY and fatally shot the three remaining band members.Another member has been shot but is in stable condition in the hospital. Names have not been released of the gunman or the victims. The band members were reportedly shot and the shooter was found on the roof with a self inflicted gun shot to the head, with a rifle by his [Read More]

Check out side project; Cold Creek County by My Darkest Days members

November 10, 2013

My Darkest Days is one of my favorite bands, so it is no surprise that I want to share some news about a couple of their members. Drummer Doug Oliver and Bassist, Brendan McMillan. They have a side project Cold Creek County that you have to check out. If you like country or your country with a rockin flare, these guys are for you. In addition to them, you have Brandon Scott on Lead Vocals/ Acoustic, Trevor MacLeod on Lead Guitar and Josh Lester on Guitar and/Backing Vocals. I checked out their music and I am really liking it. Vocals are amazing and the lyrics are heartfelt and draw you in emotionally. One of their songs, “Sometimes” is absolutely amazing and tells a story that pulls you in with it’s lyrics. “Saddle Up” brings a really rockin flare to it and delivers some great energy. Let’s all show our support to our My Darkest Days guys and check out Cold Creek County! You will enjoy them! ~ Marisol Information & Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ColdCreekCounty Twitter: https://twitter.com/coldcreekcounty Reverbnation: http://www.reverbnation.com/ColdCreekCounty

The Alien Ken has landed and his new release is BAD ASS!

November 10, 2013

You might know Alien Ken from his work with K[nine] and Moth Circus but his solo project is what you are really going to love him for. Alien Ken released “Cleanse My Claws” from his album, “Contact”.

Trash The Brand gives us “Swamp Rock” that you have to hear!

November 9, 2013

I love my Rock-a-billy and I love my southern rock and soulful blues. Well trio rockers, Trash The Brand from Jackson, Tennessee have created a new sound that will have you begging for more. They have been described as “Swamp Rock” and their music brings southern rock with sweet blues and is an instant hit. The first time I heard their song, Devil’s Ride the vocals reminded me of Zakk Wylde and then you are treated to the bluesy rock that is sexy and invigorating. There may be only three in this band, but they have a big sound that is creating high energy rock in a soulful package. Scott Austin is on vocals and guitar, Scott Little on Bass and vocals and Steven Pulley on Drums. They have been garnering attention as they were recently chosen as Indie Band of the Week in RockRevolt Magazine as well as recently getting signed to Sent Majority Group. We are going to be bringing you an interview with Trash The Brand in the next couple weeks so [Read More]
