There is a great band I have to tell you about and that is Homemade Crazy.

Our Warped Tour discovery highlight goes to One OK Rock

July 8, 2014

Vans Warped Tour truly brings so many great bands to everyone, some you may know, some you may have heard of but never seen and some you may have never heard of before. The great thing about Warped Tour is the exposure that these bands receive and how they make so many new fans after their performances. Our Warped Tour discovery highlight choice goes to a band that I have never heard of or seen before and when I did, they completely blew me away!  They are One Ok Rock from Japan. I wish I had learned of them sooner because I would have been cranking them out loud for the past several years! One OK Rock have an aggressively live performance that completely captivates you. Their songs blend rock and metal with some fierce Japanese flair. Their stage presence is one of the best and will take you by surprise if you happen to be walking by the Beatport Stage. That is how we found them and thankfully, we walked by on the first [Read More]

Awoken Shadows debut album, Till Death Do Us Part is a MUST HAVE!

July 8, 2014

We are excited to announce that the debut album by the fast rising band, Awoken Shadows is now available. Their debut album, Till Death Do Us Part was released today and available on iTunes, GooglePlay, Amazon, etc. Awoken Shadows have been garnering a lot of high praises and are sure to capture everyone’s attention with this new album. For a debut album, they are coming out of the gate running and have delivered a complete musical gem. After first listen, you may think you are listening to a well established band of many years since the songs are well written, fluidly executed and blends so well the style of theatrical metalcore and post hardcore rock. They have seamlessly created songs that create depth with layers, rich in cinematic tones and bring to life their theatrical style. It is like the gifted offspring of Vampires Everywhere, Avenged Sevenfold and early Motionless in White with a side of Danny Worsnop growls/screams.  There is the right mixture of heaviness amid the melodic chorus’ that creates their own unique sound that [Read More]
