Noise Pop brings Cherry Glazerr and Wombo to San Francisco

March 4, 2024

February 29th was a special day. No, not that it is leap year! It was the night that Cherry Glazerr returned to San Francisco. Noise Pop brought us a great show Thursday night at August Hall. The sold out show kicked off with an impressive set from Wombo and got the crowd riled up. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: The crowd kept up on coming in and packed the house as Cherry Glazerr hit the stage. The intensity was infectious as the band gave 150% to their fans. There was a mighty mosh pit in the front that couldn’t help themselves as the music was just so damn inviting! The great thing about the Noise Pop festivals is that they bring a wide audience ranging in age from teens to seasoned fans. One thing was certain everyone in August Hall was having the time of their life. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: You can catch Cherry Glazerr out on tour.

Today our BottleRock Napa Featured Artist Royel Otis releases debut album

February 16, 2024

Today for our BottleRock Napa featured artist, we bring to you Royel Otis. This Australian guitar-pop duo from Sydney took us by storm last year when we first heard their track Sofa King. We loved their sound and were instantly hooked, impatiently waiting for them to come to the Bay Area. We were so excited to see that they will be performing at BottleRock Napa 2024! Today, Royel Otis released their debut album Pratts & Pain. About the album, The album is named after our favourite pub in Streatham that we would go to when we were recording with Dan Carey. Dan would ask us to record vocals, and we’d say, ‘Just give us half an hour, we’re popping to Pratts & Payne’, and we’d have a pint, a few shots, and get some lyrics down. One of our favourites from the album is Foam, an ode to all those who need their mouths washed out with soap. It’s ok if you don’t understand some things just don’t look back in anger.

Hey Violet releases angsty new track, Uncomplicated for Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2024

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than cranking up the new track Uncomplicated from Hey Violet. The band released the angsty new track today. Rena Lovelis comments about the new song, “This song was a way to call out my own distorted thinking in relationships… a sort of reckoning for what I chase and why I chase it. I remember when I was 16 years old and I was dating someone who was just a total sweetheart, and I was bored out of my mind. It really had nothing to do with that person; it was the volatility that Nia and I grew up witnessing that then transgressed into my relationships later on.” “Uncomplicated was initially written by us, our friend Robbie Hiser, and an artist friend for their project, but we ended up loving the song and asked if we could have it for this album. The lyrics really feel like a harsh spotlight on my thinking and we thought it was an important part of the album as a whole. It [Read More]
