Letters to the Universe wants you to know that your voice matters!

July 2, 2014

  When we were at the Shoreline date of Warped Tour this past month, one of the booths we were excited to stop by was the social art project Letters To The Universe. They have been spreading the word that everyone’s voice matters and deserves to be heard. In a time where, social interaction typically means texting, emailing, liking posts, etc we seem to forget to listen to the most important voice; our own.  The simple act of writing out your message, hopes, wishes, dreams can be so rewarding. It gives a value to your voice and in turn a value to yourself. Letters to the Universe is doing just that, one letter at a time and maybe you might even get to put on some wings. This year, Letters to the Universe were at one date of the Warped Tour but I hope they continue on and maybe next year, do the whole tour. So many people that day were helped by their presence there and I can only imagine what amount of good [Read More]

July 1, 2014

This year’s Vans Warped Tour has a lot of great bands and an amazing array of music which will satisfy everyone’s needs. I was excited when I heard that For Today would be playing on the Kia Soul Stage. They will be on the entire tour and they put on an amazing set. They come out and give 150% energy on the stage and the crowd is instantly adrenalized. Whatever time they are set to play, the crowd gets invigorated by their metal/hardcore set and the energy is contagious. I was ecstatic to catch them twice in the week and each time they delivered a fierce spot on set. We had the chance to chat with the inspring vocalist, Mattie Montgomerey before his set at the Wheatland California date. Mattie is truly one of the nicest guys and always has very inspirational advice. Whether you feel defeated, down, or facing a bump in the road, Mattie is always there to pick you p and let you know you can make it through anything. That is [Read More]

Overkill is set to release their seventeenth LP, White Devil Armory on July 22nd through eOne Music in North America and on July 19th through Nuclear Blast.
