Check out the new video from Dellacoma for Moving On To Something New

September 19, 2015

  We are excited to share with you the new music video from Dellacoma for their song, Moving On To Something New.  Vocalist, Dellacoma Rio comments about the new video, “Our last USA tour was pretty jam packed, especially the last 2 and a half weeks. We had 11 shows in 13 days plus an insane amount of driving as we went from NYC to Vegas via Dallas and Montana!! On one of the 2 free days we had we linked up with filmmaker James Rico to shoot the video. He’d sent me some photos of this incredible location he’d been wanting to shoot at so we were all pretty excited but when we arrived we were still blown away. Standing there in the middle of this expanse with those cliffs we truly felt like we were south of everything”   It is a great video and what an epic location! Check it out here: It is an awesome track! Their debut album, South of Everything was recently released and they plan on touring in 2016. We [Read More]

September 17, 2015

From the heart of New York with a hard rock soul, SYKA is here to rock your radio! Recently they’ve released their EP “Stay Wild” and are blowing up venues all around NYC. Drift & Die Press got to talk with frontwoman Jesyka for a bit! Drift & Die Press: Give me a quick rundown of your members! Jesyka – Vocals Gregg Sgar – Guitar Gino Martine – Bass Steve Richards – Drums DND: In a mainly male dominated genre, having a female lead can give you an extra edge. It can also cause some struggles and discrimination. Can you give any advice to young girls wanting to become musicians, but are too intimidated by the nature of the industry? Jesyka: Do what you love. Stay Wild. If you’re meant for the world of music, it doesn’t matter if you’re male or female. You can be whatever you imagine. DND: What is the biggest stereotype you find yourself fighting, and how do you overcome it? Jesyka: Many people throw us into the ‘female fronted metal’ [Read More]
