Photo Gallery of SWMRS at BottleRock Napa and catch them at LIVE105 BFD this Saturday

June 5, 2017

  At BottleRock Napa we were excited to catch the SWMRS set. We have seen them a couple times before and they always give such an incredible high energy punk rock set. They got the crowd riled up with their angsty punk rock that captivated the crowd. The adrenaline was endless and they definitely gained thousands of more new fans that day. Their die hard fans were up front and center singing along with their fists in the air. It was spectacular to witness how this band has grown so much in the past couple years and they will continue to make huge strides in the music scene. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: You can catch SWMRS this Saturday at LIVE105 BFD at Shoreline Amphitheatre. They will be playing on the Bud Light Festival Stage.

June 5, 2017

  OK San Francisco, it is time we have a little talk about live music… I know many of you might have been celebrating the Golden State Warriors Game 2 win, but you still had a chance to get out and enjoy a GREAT night of music. The Best Summer Ever Tour made a stop in San Francisco at the Bottom of the Hill and it was definitely a concert you shouldn’t have missed. The tour features Never Let This Go and Shatterproof along with local opener The Archer.  The Archer kicked off the night with a high energy grungy rock set. They are a very new band and you wouldn’t have guessed it was only their fifth or so show. They are off to a great start and we look forward to catching them at their upcoming shows. Next up was a kick ass set by Shatterproof. We were excited to catch them perform since they recently signed to Revival Recordings and were impressed by our first listen.  They topped our impressions and blew us away even [Read More]

June 5, 2017

Singer and guitarist Brian Swindle of Have Mercy has announced dates for a solo acoustic tour.

For more information, including ticket links, please visit http://wearehavemercy.com/. On the tour, Swindle says, “I always love seeing bands in a more intimate setting. Have Mercy has never done a lot of acoustic gigs so doing these string of shows will give fans a different feel for the songs. Maybe look at them in a different light. I can’t wait to get on the road with Chase and perform for fans. It’s going to be good.”   Hitting all his favorite cities, he is bringing out Chase Huglin to support. Chase’s album is out now on InVogue Records and available at https://chasehuglin.bandcamp.com/.
