March 26, 2014

We have all been waiting anxiously for the new album All You Can Eat by Steel Panther and the time is almost among us! Only SIX more days to go!!! Well, as I told you last week about my secret… I got to hear the entire new album and have to say one thing…….. HOLY BALLS! THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING AWESOME!! It has everything you could want in rock and metal from anthemic rock songs, arena size ballads, blazing guitars, great harmonies, power house drums, sexy bass lines and those 80s style vocals that we can’t get enough of. There are some bad ass guitar solos, smokin riffs, catchy choruses, I just can’t tell you how epic this album will be. The songs are fun and infectious and you can’t help but love them. Definitely a party album for any night of the week. If they had a panty meter for this album, it would be a full on soaking wet one for this new album! We will have to watch out for the [Read More]

March 26, 2014

Smashing Pumpkins announced yesterday via their social networks that they have signed an Artists Services deal with BMG. Smashing Pumpkins will be releasing 2 new albums in 2015: MONUMENTS TO AN ELEGY and DAY FOR NIGHT. The first single is expected to be released by year’s end. Recording sessions have already began and as BILLY CORGAN says, “For those interested in sound, think: ‘guitars, guitars, guitars, and more guitars’ but more so on the epic side of things than say, grossly metallic.” We can’t wait to see what they have in store for us with these two new albums. Corgan also tells us that, “Manning the boards will be producer Howard Willing, with whom I first had the pleasure of working with during the Adore sessions. We expect a single out by year’s end.” Smashing Pumpkins were formed back in 1988 and have had quite a successful music career, having sold more than 30 million albums, and won multiple Grammy Awards in the process. If you have never been to a Smashing Pumpkins concert, then you have missed out on some of the best live [Read More]

The Amatory Murder “Exploiting our Dreams” EP awakens your dark side!

March 26, 2014

The Amatory Murder from Brooklyn, New York has been categorized as a Synth or Goth Rock Band. Many years ago, before the many classifications and genre borders, The Amatory Murder would have been just called Alternative or Modern Rock. Correction…. An awesome Alternative/Modern Rock Band. Band Members: Christian Peppas on Vox, Synth, Programming Joey Halimi on Lead Guitar Marios Drakos on Rhythm Guitar Ernest D’Amaso on Bass Guitar, Backing Vox Ben Tourkatonis on Drums The Amatory Murder are set to release their EP Exploiting Our Dreams on March 31st and it will be another must have album. It starts off with one of my favorite songs off it, A Haunting. It delivers some heavy guitars, powerful vocals and creates an energetic mysterious vibe. Need is up next and it has an addictive tempo with vocals that transition from commanding to melodic. Another highlight of Need is the drums and the electronics which create this ethereal edge to the song. They have just released a lyric video for A Haunting and you can check it out [Read More]
