We all know the amazing vocals of Dellacoma, former frontman of Australian Hard Rock Band, Sunset Riot. Well now, get ready to catch Dellacoma with his new four piece band as they embark on a Nationwide tour. The tour is set to start in April at Sitwell’s in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 9th. They will also be performing at this year’s Rocklahoma on May 24th. Dellacoma has one of the most amazing vocals in the industry. I remember the first time I heard him with Sunset Riot, he reminded me of a young David Lee Roth. He not only has an amazing voice but a personality to match.

Social 66 are set to release their self titled album on April 1st via Pavement Entertainment and get ready… IT ROCKS!

Jason O’Daniel on Lead Vocals/Guitar, Se7en on Guitar/Vocals, Eric Seevers on bass/vocals and Joe Bailey on drums. Their album starts right off with my personal top fave, Crash N Burn comes on strong with raw vocals and heavy guitars. It is a bad ass rock song! Only Me is a fantastic song complete with cool drum intro, fierce guitars and vocals that create the perfect edge to the song reminiscent of P.O.D. This just might be my favorite song off the album, definitely a heavier song. Until We Fade is another highlight on the album with emotionally driven lyrics blended with their energetic guitars, heavy drumming and a sweet piano finish. One in the Same is another one of my favorite songs. It brings a [Read More]

We were excited to hear about the return of Eve to Adam to the Ace of Spades in Sacramento. We had just seen them perform last month and they were incredible. This time, they did it again as they returned and gave a powerful energetic set on a Sunday night. We had the opportunity to talk with the band shortly before they took to the stage and are pleased to bring you that interview here: One thing is for sure, Eve to Adam truly know how to rock a set. They came out all fired up and fueled for a night of rock. What I also love about them is how they can perfect their set to emulate their studio sound.
