Butcher Babies at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for Golden Gods Tour

June 8, 2014

This weekend was once again filled with incredible shows to cover and incredible sets by many awesome bands, check out our coverage of Devil You Know here and Black Label Society here. Friday night we were at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for the Revolver Golden Gods Tour. The night started off with a fierce set by one of my favorite bands, Butcher Babies. We had a blast covering them last year at the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival and were glad to see them back. This band is never short on energy as they were determined to start the night off with a bang. The crowd was packed and I believe it was a sold out, or nearly sold out show. The best part was that everyone got there early enough to catch the full set of Butcher Babies. Vocalists Heidi and Carla truly know how to command the audience as they had everyone under their Butcher Babies spell. Check out the photos of our Rockin Ryan here of their set: We are so [Read More]

Oh! The Horror from Sacramento left a great impression at the DNA Lounge

June 5, 2014

We have bringing you our coverage of last Sunday night’s concert. We have featured Cherri Bomb, Awoken Shadows, A Hero To Fall & soon will be Chapters. But for now, we wanted to bring your attention to another theatrical metalcore band, Oh! The Horror. They are from Sacramento and blend a great electronic style into their metalcore fusing together and making a great new sound for you to enjoy. They really bring a cool dark yet mysterious vibe when they perform. It creates a haunting atmosphere fueled with some heavy metalcore to satisfy you. They even remind me of early Vampires Everywhere and that is a great sound which I miss! Check out photos from Rockin Ryan of their set here: Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on when their next show is and all of their latest news. I will leave you with video for Oddities here: ~ Marisol Information & Links: Facebook:

A Hero To Fall is the answer to your need for some heavy new music!

June 4, 2014

We featured a local Santa Rosa band, A Hero To Fall last month as they were chosen as one of the 25 Bands competing for a record contract with KBB Records (New Label by Asking Alexandria’s Ben Bruce and Kyle Borman). We are still waiting to hear if they have been chosen as one of the 10 bands to make it on the KBB Records Digital Summer Sampler, fingers crossed! Sunday night we headed to San Francisco to catch Cherri Bomb perform at the DNA Lounge. What a spectacular set they played, make sure to read our post about it. To our delight, one of the opening bands, was A Hero To Fall. We had the chance to talk with the band before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: They had to deal with some set up issues which is pretty typical when you perform in the upstairs Above DNA. It is really a smaller stage and sometimes takes a while for set up. But they pulled it through and [Read More]
