Interview with John Easdale of DRAMARAMA

August 16, 2013

Music has been my passenger on my rollercoaster ride of my life, with my during my highs and there to comfort me during my lows. No matter what mood I was in, music was always there to share in the moment. So many times when someone mentions an artist or a band, I can go back and remember the first time I heard them or how I was introduced to their music. It is almost like when someone asks you about how you met an old friend or boyfriend. You always know the facts. Well, I can remember the first time I ever heard Dramarama. I literally was fresh out of high school and loved a variety of styles of music. I would rock out to RATT as we went cruising the El Camino, go to a Hank Williams Jr. concert in the summer, dance to pop music in the nightclubs, and enjoyed a lot of New Wave and Mod.  But there was this one friend I worked with name Jane but we called her [Read More]

Straight from Jelgava, Latvia is a fun alternative rock band, BrainStorm (Latvian: Prāta Vētra)   that you have to take a listen to. Definitely not a new band.

Their music which has sounds reminiscent of Parlotones, ColdPlay, even U2,  but yet they have something so new and fresh to them that I just can’t put my finger on.  They have catchy melody fused with passionate vocals and an energetic sound that becomes infectious. Here is a great fun video for their song, “Europa” which I love: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ebHMomh7wE&feature=youtu.be]   If you ever watched Eurovision, you might have caught them in 2000 as they [Read More]
