Chiodos premiere their new song, 3 AM and link for pre-order for DEVIL

February 25, 2014

Today, Chiodos premiere their new song, 3 AM on Billboard. Their new song 3 AM is off of their upcoming album, DEVIL which is set for an April 1st release through Razor & Tie. Singer/Songwriter, Craig Owents takes more about the very honest and personal song, “I think I had something to say and was in the right place to say it this time, For a good six months when we started talking about the new Chiodos record and started talking about the next phase of what it is we were gonna do, I couldn’t really sleep. I grabbed my guitar and went downstairs at 3 a.m. one morning, the sink was dripping in the background. And I thought about the Beatles song, ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps,’ and I was thinking about how simple it is and how you can just sing about the things that are really happening in your life…without hiding what it is I”m trying to say. It didn’t have to be this metaphorical epic or anything like that. I think it’s [Read More]

New Years Day deliver a powerful intense set at their shows, a must see!

February 24, 2014

We had the opportunity to catch New Years Day last week at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento, CA. It was a night filled with a variety of bands from TrackFighter, Eve to Adam, Escape the Fate and New Years Day. It was great first off to see that whomever you were there to see that night, everyone enjoyed everyone’s set!  Here are Rockin Ryan’s photos of the night:   I had been talking to a couple people who had never seen New Years Day before and they said that after, they were definitely life long fans. That is what happens when you see them live, you can’t help but harness their energy and enjoy the show and join the New Years Day family! Jake Jones on the guitar is like a modern day Doyle as he stomps around feeding the masses with his energy. Nikki Misery reminds me of the charismatic Marilyn Manson and is a madman on his guitar. Nick Rossi on the drums displays impeccable precision drumming as he always stays on [Read More]

Falling in Reverse delivers another great show in San Francisco

February 24, 2014

They did it again! Falling In Reverse  put on another great show on their stop in San Francisco for the Bury the Hatchet tour. Even though we were the second to the last stop of the tour, we were treated to them performing at 150% and their non stop energy set.  I have been to many opening sets for tours as well as closing and it does seem that some bands really trail off when they are down to the last couple days. Almost as if they can taste the freedom and joys of sleeping in their own beds, long showers and days that have yet to be planned.  Well for the boys in Falling in Reverse, they really do show that performing is when they feel most at home because they really come on just as strong as their first show in Los Angeles.  They treated the crowd to an adrenaline filled set where the nearly sold out audience sang along to every word.  It was a great set and Jacky Vincent and Ron [Read More]

Just a week ago, we told you about the awesome show that SURVIVE THIS! put on for their set at the Bury the Hatchet Tour in San Francisco. They were amazing! As promised, we are pleased to share with you the tribute videos that Rockin Ryan put together with footage and photos from their set:     In case you missed our original post, here iit is again: * * * * * * * * * *  So many times on tours, people tend to neglect arriving early enough to catch the opening band. Well, if Survive This! is on as the opener, you better do everything humanly possible to get there ON TIME!  These guys know how to deliver a high energy set and get any crowd pumped. We saw them as they opened up for Chelsea Grin, Escape the Fate and Falling in Reverse during the Bury the Hatchet Tour on their stop in San Francisco. We arrived early enough and were treated to their adrenaline filled set where you are captivated [Read More]

Interview with Delta Rose after their stellar performance at the Troubadour

February 21, 2014

Delta Rose! That is the band that I am hoping that you already know by now. We featured them last year during our Golden Gods Awards Coverage, Warped Tour Featured band as well as them being our Day 5  of our 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know. So I am hoping you have been paying close attention and are already familiar with these bad ass rockers… Delta Rose! These guys not only bring the old school rock and roll back to life with their young vibrant personalities but are also one of the hardest working bands on the scene.  They are not only busy playing shows all over Southern California but we even caught them performing at the Gibson booth during NAMM 2014.  They are an awesome band  that you can’t help but fall in love with them. Last weekend, we headed down to see Delta Rose perform at Lara Gladstone’s Gutter n Grind event at the Troubadour. This would be the first time we were able to catch a full set from one of our [Read More]
