NiteRain keeps the rock n roll train rolling with their new single, Come Out

October 15, 2016

Our favorite Norwegian rockers, NiteRain are at it again! They are hell bent on keeping Rock N Roll alive and thriving. We need more bands with the dedication and determination that these rockers bring to the music scene. They not only give us KICK ASS high energy rock reminiscent of Sunset Strip in the 80’s, but they bring that same energy to the stage every time as they rock the crowds. They have just released their new single, Come Out and it is a fierce one. You can’t help but feel the smoldering remains of Rock come back to life as NiteRain ignites it and keeps the flame burning bright. Powerful 80’s inspired vocals, smoking guitars, raging solo, killer vocal chants, and heavy hitting drums to get you fired up with your fist in the air. Check out the new song here: The song is off their upcoming new album, Vendetta which is set for a release on November 5th. You can pick up the new song by heading over to iTunes here.

VIDEO: Coldrain releases new video, Born To Bleed off latest album VENA II

September 27, 2016

Japanese rockers Coldrain have just released a music video for their track, Born To Bleed. On the song and music video (directed by Inni Vision), frontman Masato Hayakawa explains: “While we were touring and writing this song it seemed like all the places we had been to had just been through some sort of devastating act of hate. Terrorist attacks and shootings were happening everywhere. There was so much pain that was more real to us than before. Living in Japan we live in fear of natural disasters. The number of earthquakes that happen is insane and the amount of people they injure or kill is way too much. When I was writing I just kept writing down why? Why is there so much hate…why is there so much danger, pain and suffering. I couldn’t find the answers. But I just had to throw those questions in my head out there. This is how the song became ‘Born To Bleed’ The lyrics were written with dark emotions and hope mixed up. I wanted [Read More]

Check it out here: Myles Kennedy recalls, “The lyric was actually inspired by thinking back to my situation as a kids. I was this really small, underdeveloped kid who had to work extremely hard to keep up with all of my peers. It was very frustrating. I would hear a lot of words of encouragement from parents, coaches, or teachers though. A lot of those things were stored away, and they manifested themselves in this song. I’ve been able to apply some of those concepts in my life a thousand times over since then.” You can [Read More]
