New Jersey punk band Doc Rotten release new EP Sick and Suffering

March 31, 2018

New Jersey punk band Doc Rotten have just released their sophomore EP Sick & Suffering. The new record was produced by Sean Glonek. Guitarist Wes Bentley comments about the new EP, “We’re extremely excited about this record. The title track is “Sick and Suffering” is about drug addiction and trying to help people get sober and realizing you can’t help if they don’t want help. It’s also about realizing they’re sick people not bad people. Yet still shouldn’t be allowed to play the victim. We’re not against drinking or drug use but with the drug epidemic (specifically heroin) as bad as it is in cities like Trenton, it’s something that hit home on a personal level to us.” Check out the video for their new song Listen Up which is off the new EP: The band will be heading out on tour in April and you can catch them at the upcoming shows: APR 5 The Golden Pony Harrisonburg, VA APR 6 Springwater Nashville, TN APR 9 Will’s Pub Orlando, FL APR 12 Bottom Bracket Social Club [Read More]

James Bay delivers unparalleled top notch stadium quality performance at the intimate Fillmore in San Francisco

March 28, 2018

James Bay put on an extraordinary performance tonight at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. It was a show that I had been waiting months for. The venue was filled to capacity for the sold out show, the second show of the tour. The night kicked off with a beautiful set from amazing singer/songwriter/guitarist David Ryan Harris. David brought to life the stories of his music, his smooth voice inviting the listener to take a musical journey. The crowd loved David’s set and they were anxious for James to begin. From the second he hit the stage, the crowd went wild. He started right off with a new song Wasted on Each Other followed by his new single Pink Lemonade. Both songs are off his highly anticipated second studio album, Electric Light, due out on May 18th. You can pre-order by heading over to here: https://jamesbay.lnk.to/ElectricLight. The night continued on with a performance that was pure bliss! James energy was electrifying and his passion radiates as he sings. His charismatic personality reigns with his stage presence.
