December 18, 2013

Our countdown of 14 Bands that will rule 2014 continues on. Here we are at #7 and it goes to Lynam. I have been in love with Lynam for years now. In 2008, their CD “Tragic City Symphony” was one of my Go To CDs with great singles like Save My Soul, Lindsay Says, and Porn Star which all three made it to the Top 10 on the Active Rock independent chart. Some of my other faves are White Trash Superstar and Just Say Anything. Their live album Thank You Goodnight was released in 2010 and was also a must have. Oh, and you can’t forget Slave to the Machine! Lynam is Jacob Bunton on lead vocals and guitar, DavidLynam on drums, Mark Dzier on bass, and Lonny Paul on guitar. They are rock n roll personified and are ready take over. Fast forward to 2013 and Lynam has been hard at work on their new EP and was just released this week.

Today we are at #8 on the countdown of 14 bands that will rule in 2014. We are pleased to bring you While She Waits, a Hard Rock Rock band with some Southern flare from Phoenix, Arizona that are rapidly gaining attention in the music scene. They have been signed to TMG Records and are currently working on their next album. 2013 has brought them a lot of much deserved attention. With their Southern Rock sound that rumbles in like a rock n roll freight train, you just have to hop on board and enjoy While She Waits. Their music is filled with catchy hooks, powerful lyrics, nice thunderous double bass drums like cannons being set off, amid some crunchy slamming bass lines.

December 16, 2013

Today on our countdown of 14 Bands that will rule in 2014 goes to Art of Dying. Rockers, Art of Dying from Canada have a constant spot on my daily music playlist. Their music not only kicks ass in rock n roll but also have such emotionally charged lyrics that many can connect and relate to. I don’t think a day goes by where I didn’t listen to an Art of Dying song. As I mentioned before, I personally, have experienced the power of healing through music by listening to my favorite Art of Dying songs at one of the hardest times in my life. It truly is music to feed your soul wrapped in blazing rock and roll. It has been great to watch Art of Dying become one of everyone’s favorite bands and their fans all have great stories to share. Art of Dying is Jonny Hetherington on Vocals, Greg Bradley on Guitar, Jeff Brown on Drums, Cale Gontier on Bass/Vocals and Tavis Stanley on Guitar and Vocals. These guys are on fire and [Read More]

December 15, 2013

Here we are at the #10 spot, counting down the 14 bands that we think will rule 2014. Today for hot spot Number 10, we bring you Beware of Darkness. This band just exploded on to the scene this year and there is definitely no slowing them down. Beware of Darkness was formed in 2010 by singer/guitarist Kyle Nicolaides and drummer Tony Cupito. They added bassist Daniel Curcio and they became a well rounded powerful trio. In 2013, they released their debut album Orthodox and their song Howl seemed to become one of everyone’s favorite new song including mine. I remember the first time I heard it was when I was listening to the MusicChoice channel on cable. I was writing and the song came on, I almost stumbled out of my chair to race over and make sure I could find out what the song was. From that moment, many months ago, we were pleased to hear it being played on Octane XM, Sixx Sense, radio and much more. You can pick up Orthodox on Itunes [Read More]

We are counting down the top 14 bands that we think will rule 2014. Today is our day 11 and we are pleased to present We As Human for that honor. We As Human have had quite a successful year with the release of their self titled debut album and toured extensively in 2013. This year was the first time I heard We As Human and they really became the talk of the scene and within weeks everyone was getting to know their name. We were excited to catch them at the Aftershock Festival where they started the festival off with a kick ass in your face set. They were the first band of the day and everyone was rushing to get in to check them out after they hit the stage and played the first notes of their song. The crowd loved them and many came in not knowing who We As Human were, but left Aftershock with We As Human being one of their top festival highlights. You can read our show review [Read More]
