Check out Shinedown’s new video for I’ll Follow You

June 19, 2013

Shinedown has a new video out that I am completely in love with! The video is for “I’ll Follow You” and it seriously might be my all time favorite. Shinedown has consistently put out great new music and always follows it up with incredible videos. You can read about my review of their Amaryllis album in an older post here. In that previous post, I describe my impression of the song, “I’ll Follow You”: “I’ll Follow You” is a beautiful love song with great vocals right from the start. A true romantic ballad with that lighter in the air moment. . You feel the emotion of a “Freebird” moment along with a romantic ballad holding the one you love around the waist. Yes, corny but in all the right ways!! Just wanting love and nothing else, Giving up on all things except love. It is like a true proclaimation of love for just wanting to be with each other and nothing else. The video has a great ethereal feel to it and draws out sincere [Read More]

Vampires Everywhere! is your “Drug of Choice”

June 19, 2013

Long before the popularity of Twilight or True Blood, there were the Vampire classics like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Bela Lugosi and my personal favorite, The Lost Boys. It is from these classics that Michael Vampire of Vampires Everywhere! drew on these influences and became inspired. Their sound is a blend of industrial metal/rock and is currently described as shock rock. I have recently been listening to their latest CD, “Hellbound and Heartless” and with high energy songs like ‘Drug of Choice” or “Star of 666” you can easily get hooked. A couple of my other earlier favorites are “Undead Heart” and “Immortal Love”, and have a great industrial/alternative rock sound to them. You can really hear their influence of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie but with a more updated edgier sound to it that I thing makes them stand out. Time to let your dark side out to come and play. Vampires Everywhere! recently headlined at the world famous Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip earlier this week. Frontman Michael Vampire, Chris Christ and [Read More]

June 18, 2013

Falling in Reverse set the Roxy on fire today for their daytime show which was streamed live worldwide. This live stream was presented by Hot Topic and the only way to get into this exclusive show was to pre-order their new CD bundle “Fashionably Late” which was released today, June 18th on Epitaph Records. For those that purchased the package in the Southern California Hot Topic stores were treated to a free all ages show at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip. We had the opportunity to watch the show and I will let you know…. Falling in Reverse is a force to be reckoned with. This just may be their year and I am very excited for all of them. This band has had to endure many ups and downs and to see how far they have come after climbing over a mountain of haters they are certainly reigning as “Champions”. Obviously their haters are their motivators and if they continue to push the bar with their music, they will continue to rise to [Read More]
