Earlier today, we received the news via Facebook, that bassist, Derek Johnston is no longer with Adelita’s Way. We have had the pleasure seeing Derek play many times with Adelita’s Way and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Adelita’s Way is currently working working on their new album and we will see if we can get an update on it. They have mentioned that the new album is set for early 2014. Meanwhile, I will leave you with a video from the last time I saw Adelita’s Way which was last year in 2012 in Reno, NV.

The Pretty Reckless release incredible new song, Heaven Knows!

November 15, 2013

I just got back from running errands and I had a very special treat! I had the opportunity to listen to the new song by The Pretty Reckless, “Heaven Knows”. They debuted the song this morning on Sirius XM Octane channel (funny since I cancelled by XM last month because they cancelled Sixx Sense channel and I still get it free for the next month). DAMN this song is AMAZING! It has an old school rock circa Joan Jett/Runaways vibe and the catchiest sing along part on the air today. The song will become available for purchase on Itunes on Tuesday November 19th! Taylor has truly proven to be a Rock Goddess that is on top of the charts these days. The song comes off their upcoming album, Going To Hell which is scheduled for a 2014 release date. The Pretty Reckless released a video for their first song off the album, “Going To Hell” and that is a badass song. You can actually download “Going To Hell” on Itunes now here. Check out the video here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmtbg5b7_Aw&feature=youtu.be] [Read More]
