Andy Black – updates on his first record

March 17, 2016

    And the news keep coming in…Andy Biersack announced the release date of the first record of his solo project Andy Black. The record will be out May 6th  worldwide. It’s called ‘The Shadow Side’.   The album cover was designed and executed by Biersacks longtime friend, Richard Villa III, who did all the art work for Black Veil Brides too in the past. Pre-orders can already be placed via www.andyblackmusic.com. There’s a limited edition of signed CD’s. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a run for that. As if recording two records at the same time and a solo tour ain’t enough, Andy Biersack will also be starring in a movie called ‘American Satan’. It also features Ben Bruce, Malcolm McDowell, Denise Richards and many more. The thriller is about a young rock band, half from the UK, half from the US, dropping out of high school and moving to the Sunset Strip to chase their dream. Considering the cast, this can only get awesome, right? For further information on Andy Black [Read More]

Candlebox releases new song ahead of their headlining Spring tour

March 16, 2016

The multi-platinum rockers Candlebox have just released a new song, I’ve Got a Gun which is off their highly anticipated album, Disappearing in Airports, set for an April 22nd release. Vocalist Kevin Martin explains, “‘I’ve Got a Gun’ is inspired by the constant small-mindedness of people who think you’re trying to take their guns away from them. If you know anything about me as a person, you know that I’m highly political; you know that I’m a firm believer in people’s rights 100% and I don’t believe that anyone should take your guns from you. I’m saying is, gun control is an issue and these mass shootings need to stop and that’s the approach of the song.” Check out the new song here: You can pre-order the album and pick up a couple of the tracks instantly by heading over to iTunes here. You can check out the first single, Vexatious, from the album here: The band is gearing up for their headlining spring tour which will kick off on April 1 in Louisville, Ky. [Read More]
