Worhol, direct descendants of Andy Warhol release teaser video for new symphonic rock album

June 28, 2017

Our Spotlight band today is a symphonic rock band featuring descendants of Andy Warhol. Worhol was formed back in 2013 when lead singer Worhol and her father Larry Worhol decided they wanted to follow their dream together as a team. They both had degrees in music and having a classical background gave them the foundation in writing their style of music; symphonic and theatrical rock. It works great and sounds awesome. Worhol are set to release a full length album, The Awakening on July 14th. Vocalist Ashley comments about the album, “This album is a chance for us as musicians to open up our hearts and souls to those who listen. We strive for a never ending mission to bring hope and truth back into this world. Through our music we will awaken people to a new era of music. An era that will lead them to their sanctuary.” ‘Worhol’s music can be best described as symphonic and theatrical with Larry being the guitarist as well as the orchestral composer and Ashley being professionally trained.

  Rockers RadioBlack have released a new music video for their song, Thread (I Am). The kick ass song is off their debut self-titled album released earlier this year. The band comments on the video, “We shot the ‘Thread’ video in just a couple of hours. We wanted to find a way to capture the energy that drives our live show and we thought this video was a good opportunity to do that. Sometimes in a video shoot setting you can lose some of that energy and intensity, so when we started the shoot we decided to just lay it all out there the way we do live.
