Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 28, 2014

  Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. Allow me to introduce you to an amazing new band that I just discovered. I was in the midst of our Bottle Rock Napa features and one of the bands I was to check out was Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. That was several hours ago and I still haven’t been able to get the smile off my face. These three guys have created a sound they call “Adventure Rock”, I call it DAMN FINE MUSIC! Fun rockin music that is purely good for the soul. They have such a playful sense in their lyrics and melodies that you can’t help but enjoy them. I can only imagine how they would be LIVE! The first song that I heard was their hit 93,000,000 Miles and the intro reminds me of the larger than life sound of Queen and I swear I thought I found a long lost Queen tape!  The song is SPECTACULAR! You will not want to turn [Read More]

Well now, get ready to catch Dellacoma with his new four piece band as they embark on a Nationwide tour. The tour is set to start in April at Sitwell’s in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 9th. They will also be performing at this year’s Rocklahoma on May 24th. Dellacoma has one of the most amazing vocals in the industry.

He not only has an amazing voice but a personality to match.  Check the tour dates below: April 9     Cincinnati, OH           Sitwell’s *Solo Acoustic April 10   Seneca Falls, NY       Parker’s  *Solo Acoustic  April 11   Waterloo, NY             F ‘n’ a Rhythm and Booze * Solo Acoustic  April 12   Waterloo, NY             Lizards *Solo Acoustic April 18    Albuquerque, NM     Vault Nite Club May 20    Topeka, KS                Boobie Trap Bar May 21    Oklahoma City, OK   Leon’s Lounge  May 24    Pryor, OK                  [Read More]

March 28, 2014

Social 66 are set to release their self titled album on April 1st via Pavement Entertainment and get ready… IT ROCKS!  Social 66 are based in Ohio, West Virginia, and North Carolina, Social 66 was created with intent to write and record good hard rock songs, with loud guitars and undeniable hooks! Jason O’Daniel on Lead Vocals/Guitar, Se7en on Guitar/Vocals, Eric Seevers on bass/vocals and Joe Bailey on drums. Their album starts right off with my personal top fave, Crash N Burn comes on strong with raw vocals and heavy guitars. It is a bad ass rock song! Only Me is a fantastic song complete with cool drum intro, fierce guitars and vocals that create the perfect edge to the song reminiscent of P.O.D.  This just might be my favorite song off the album, definitely a heavier song. Until We Fade is another highlight on the album with emotionally driven lyrics blended with their energetic guitars, heavy drumming and a sweet piano finish. One in the Same is another one of my favorite songs. It brings a [Read More]

Breakaway Patriot is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 27, 2014

  Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Breakaway Patriot from San Francisco. Breakaway Patriot has an Alternative Rock/Pop Rock feel to them but don’t let me categorize them because they have music that will span the genre boundaries.  Emotionally driven lyrics, catchy hooks and melodic choruses is exactly what they deliver. Once you take a first listen, you will be hooked. Their song Jessika Raine is fantastic and has an amazing intro that I love. It has such a bluesy rock feel, spirited beat and along with the passionate vocals, definitely a hit. Breakaway Patriot gained a lot of notoriety when their song, Flying on the Water  was selected as the official theme song for the 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco. It was great for them to get the attention they deserve. You can purchase their song Flying on the Water as well as their EP Strong on Itunes. I am sure you will be hearing a lot more from this great band.  Here is our quick band feature: Band Members: Brad Tyner – [Read More]
