VIDEO TO WATCH: Nashville metal band 3 Minutes to Live releases new video for Knock Me Down

October 4, 2018

Nashville metal band 3 Minutes To Live released their new album, Strike the Shepherd and they have just released a new video for their song, Knock Me Down. Vocalist Brian Terry comments on the new song, “‘Knock Me Down’ is a fight song, as in the fight for your life!

You get back [Read More]

We hope it relates to all humans, animals, plants or aliens, regardless of race and religion.” Check out the track below:   More about Confetti: confetti is an alternative rock pop duo hailing from middle america, but currently based in los angeles california. the two met in college at indiana university. after moving to los angeles the two have led semi separate lives in music, one a top liner/artist and the other a producer. after a gut wrenching six years of separation, solely working with humans~ which they claimed to be fun (sigh) but also very “limiting” and full of “bite your tongue” moments~~ the [Read More]
