EMAROSA premiere a new music video for I’ll Just Wait

September 18, 2014

EMAROSA recently released their new album Versus through Rise Records. Vocalist Bradley Walden states: “This record is the pressure, frustration & perseverance of the past 3 years. This is the future of Emarosa.” They have just premiered a new music video for their song I’ll Just Wait which is off the new album. You can check it out here: The music video was shot in Orlando, FL and directed by Caleb Mallery. On the video, vocalist Bradley Walden explains, “The song is about finding love, losing love and waiting until you can have it again. There’s just a sense of loss and reflection throughout the video. Walking in the halls and singing in the places there was to be a wedding. There are moments where he looks back and sees all the times he could have saved himself from heartache. The altar hosts the band performing, while the chorus calls out, “Are you happy? Are you happier?” You can pick up your copy of the album by visiting: Physical: http://emarosa.merchnow.com iTunes: http://bit.ly/UO8qf6 EMAROSA will be heading out on tour [Read More]

Aftershock Festival started off with a kick ass energetic set by the Bay Area band, Dig The Kid.

Their music which fuses many elements of music such as alternative, punk, grunge, rock and much more into their own unique style that will have you singing along and moving around in no time. Dig The Kid is: Cory Todd – Guitar Ian Lasater – Bass Lisa Mongelli – Drummer We had the chance to interview them after their set and will be bringing that interview to you later this week.

New York based metalcore band, MASSiVE has released a music video for their song, Still Alive.

Check out the video here: Now that you watched the video, you can head over and pick up the free download of the song below: Everything came to us very naturally… I mean, we’ve been playing music together since we were little kids, so the whole writing process is a breeze. We all get along so well, it’s like the songs write themselves sometimes! As far as the music itself, we wanted to create something that sounded very powerful, hence the name MASSiVE. Something huge, but fast, thrashy, and energy-driven. I think the most important part of all of this is the message that we want to send to our listeners. We didn’t want to just sing about girls or being sad [Read More]

September 18, 2014

UK rockers, Heaven’s Basement have released their music video for their straight up Rock track, Lights Out In London. The song is off their highly acclaimed Filthy Empire album which is out on Red Bull Records. The song is one of my favorites as it really highlights how these four talented musicians know how to kick ass and bring the life back in to Rock n Roll. They have had quite a year with extensive touring and we can’t wait for them to return to California. Check out their new video here: Their song Be Somebody was announced as the theme song for the 2014 Red Bull Air Race. Guitarist Sid Glover even took to the skies for a test flight with one of the pilots. It looks like a lot of fun.

Interview with the multi-talented Dani Neff of Megafauna

September 18, 2014

Austin has been keeping quite a secret and it is time everyone gets to know about it. I am talking about the incredible prog-rock/alternative band Megafauna. I am not going to try and place them into a music genre category because their fresh new bold style of music fuses a variety of musical influences and have successfully created their own unique sound. You can pick up great tones of progressive rock, alternative grunge style, power pop and garage rock. They most recently released their album, Maximalist which is quite deserving of your attention. In addition they toured this past summer in support of their album and will continue to set out on another tour shortly. We had the opportunity to talk with Megafauna singer/guitarist, Dani Neff and she is such a wonderfully talented artist. We are pleased to bring you the interview here: * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: Thank you very much for taking the time out to talk with us here at Music Junkie Press.
