Irontom is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 29, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Irontom. These five guys from Los Angeles are bringing to life a fresh new sound in rock and roll. Irontom is full of energy and have an alternative rock sound that will have you enjoying their catchy melodies and energetic sound. You can feel the influences in their music that ranges from classic rock, punk, alternative and everything in between. They remind me of a sibling of Artic Monkeys or Cage The Elephant. Irontom currently have a couple EPs out. One is The Loose and has one of my favorite songs, Mind My Halo in it. Also out is the EP, The Nitro which was produced byindustry heavyweight Alain Johannes (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures). You can head over to their website and sign up for their email mailing list and download a new song, “What Will Happen to All the Indie Stars“. I look forward to seeing them perform at the this year’s Bottle Rock Napa since I got word that they put on [Read More]

March 28, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. Allow me to introduce you to an amazing new band that I just discovered. I was in the midst of our Bottle Rock Napa features and one of the bands I was to check out was Major Powers & The Lo-Fi Symphony. That was several hours ago and I still haven’t been able to get the smile off my face. These three guys have created a sound they call “Adventure Rock”, I call it DAMN FINE MUSIC! Fun rockin music that is purely good for the soul. They have such a playful sense in their lyrics and melodies that you can’t help but enjoy them. I can only imagine how they would be LIVE! The first song that I heard was their hit 93,000,000 Miles and the intro reminds me of the larger than life sound of Queen and I swear I thought I found a long lost Queen tape! The song is SPECTACULAR! You will not want to turn [Read More]

Breakaway Patriot is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

March 27, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Breakaway Patriot from San Francisco. Breakaway Patriot has an Alternative Rock/Pop Rock feel to them but don’t let me categorize them because they have music that will span the genre boundaries. Emotionally driven lyrics, catchy hooks and melodic choruses is exactly what they deliver. Once you take a first listen, you will be hooked. Their song Jessika Raine is fantastic and has an amazing intro that I love. It has such a bluesy rock feel, spirited beat and along with the passionate vocals, definitely a hit. Breakaway Patriot gained a lot of notoriety when their song, Flying on the Water was selected as the official theme song for the 2013 America’s Cup in San Francisco. It was great for them to get the attention they deserve. You can purchase their song Flying on the Water as well as their EP Strong on Itunes. I am sure you will be hearing a lot more from this great band. Here is our quick band feature: Band Members: Brad Tyner – [Read More]

DELTA ROSE and their new album will take you on a WILD RIDE!

March 7, 2014

One of, if not our Number 1 favorite band, Delta Rose has been busy working on their new music and guess what? It is going to blow your mind! I had a chance to take a listen and I am telling you, get ready, strap your boots on and hold on tight because these boys are going to rock your world. They have a new 6 song EP that they are finishing up and it is stellar, from start to finish. In a time when the lines of rock and roll have been blurred by genres, cores, subcores, crossovers, and so much more, Delta Rose answers my need for true rock and roll. Their rock and roll is infused with blues and groove that there is no way, you can listen to them and stand still. You just have to get up on your foot and move. This album shows how much this band has grown in 6+ years, each one perfecting their own art and have mastered their own style. You can feel [Read More]
