Enduring Days You will Overcome by Electric Litany dances with your soul and embraces your spirit!

February 28, 2014

It might have been 4 years since the debut release of the successful album, “How To Be a Child and Win the War”, Electric Litany proves with their new album, they are ready to shine once again. Their new album, “Enduring Days You will Overcome” is an amazing collection of soul touching songs that embrace your spirit and breathes new life into your consciousness. Greco-London band Electric Litany produced the album with Alan Parsons and recorded the album in several studios in London, Welsh and the island of Corfu and mastering was completed at Abbey Road Studios and is released through Inner Ear Records. The album is quite spectacular as you engage yourself into the brooding vocals amidst melancholic and dreamy atmospheres presenting itself as well orchestrated and captivating. Check out their video for the song, Feather of Ecstasy which is off the new album: I encourage you to check out the new album and get drawn in as your spirit is embraced and enlightened by Electric Litany. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: [Read More]

Check out metal band, Schemata Theory, bringing a new life to metal scene

February 28, 2014

Today I wanted to introduce you to a six piece metal band from Reading, Berkshire, UK who are breathing a fresh new life into the metal scene. They are Schemata Theory. They have combined aspects from old school metal and thrash and blended it with progressive instrumental and catchy choruses and topped it off with some bad ass guitar solos, fierce riffs and stellar vocal arrangements. They bring to mind some of my favorite bands like Dream Theater and Fates Warning. You can check out their video for their song, A Complex Slate here: The song is off of their debut album, Dry Lung Rhetoric and you can pick it up on their webstore: www.schematatheory.com/store. Schemata Theory is vocalists Myles Dyer and Luke Wright, guitarists Huw Roch and Mario Scinto, bassist Carl Quanstrom, and drummer Joshua Barretto. So take a listen and get hooked with this new metal band. Also make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.schematatheory.com/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/SchemataTheory Twitter: www.twitter.com/schematatheory Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/schematatheory [Read More]

Track Fighter always delivers a high energy rock show!

February 27, 2014

We have been watching Track Fighter for quite a while now. They are one of the hardest working Alternative/Rock/Metal bands in the Bay Area. The first time we saw them was several years ago and one thing is for sure, they have never let up on their high energy performance. We were glad to see them opening up for Eve to Adam and Escape the Fate at the Ace of Spades last week. They were great once again as they continued to unleash their intense set on their hometown of Sacramento. You can check out two tribute videos that Rockin Ryan put together which includes footage and photos from their Sacramento set: If you don’t already have it, you can pick up their 5 song EP Revenge on Itunes here which has their crowd favorite, L.A. For now, make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on the latest news from Track Fighter. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.trackfightermusic.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/trackfighter Twitter: www/twitter.com/TrackFighter Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/Trackfighterteam

Kids in Glass Houses announce Farewell Tour set for October

February 26, 2014

Kids in Glass Houses from South Wales have just announced their Farewell Tour. We are sad to see the end of Kids in Glass Houses (KIGH) since they have such a vibrant full of life sound that will be missed. They made the announcement on their Facebook page with the following: It’s a surreal and daunting moment when you realise that you’re contemplating bringing to an end something that has given your life unquantifiable joy, satisfaction and meaning. Something that is so personal that it embodies who you are or who you have been perceived as for so long. You start to wonder what you’ll be without it. It’s a near impossible void to comprehend filling, but we feel that now is the right time for us to do move on and do just that. This is the end of Kids In Glass Houses. Amicably and on our own terms. The way we always promised ourselves it would be. We’re as unified in this decision as we have been with any that we’ve made together, and [Read More]
