Burn Halo releases new song, Wolves of WAR

December 31, 2013

Tonight Burn Halo released their song, “Wolves of War” which is off their new album and it is INSANE!! It definitely has a deep 18 Visions influence….. Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! It is solid and intense on all levels. Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/burnhalo?sk=app_182222305144028 We featured Burn Halo on our Countdown of 14 Bands that will rule 2014. You can read more from that post here. Burn Halo was created by James Hart (frontman of Eighteen Visions) sometime in 2007. We have had the pleasure of seeing Burn Halo about a dozen times since 2009 and they always put on an incredible show. James Hart always delivers intense energy with his vocals and Joey Roxx, their kick ass guitarist is right up front and center (well stage left to be exact!) We are excited to see Ryan Frost returned to playing rhythm guitar. When we ran in to Joey Roxx during Aftershock Festival in September and he told us to be prepared for a heavier sound and a throwback to 18 Visions roots. He also gave [Read More]

Countdown of 14 Bands That Will Rule 2014, #2 goes to Steel Panther!

December 23, 2013

We made it to the #2 Spot and it is time to have some F**KING FUN with our Rock N Roll!! So for #2 I bring you Steel Panther! 2014 is going to be a very big year for Steel Panther. They are set to release their highly anticipated new album, “All You Can Eat“. Steel Panther fans or should I say Fanthers, have been anxiously waiting for new music to follow up their highly successful last album, Balls Out. Some may only know Steel Panther as a parody band personifying the glam/metal lifestyles of the ’80s but you may know that they are DAMN talented musicians. Michael Starr on Vocals has one of the best vocal ranges and his high notes will have you thinking you are on the Sunset Strip in 1985. Lexxi Foxxx pounds out some slamming bass as he whips his hair and primps in the mirror. Satchel on guitar embodies a true Guitar God, with the moves, stage presence and he KICKS ASS on the guitar. His solo will have [Read More]

Day 9 of 12 Days of Guitarists goes to Orianthi

December 22, 2013

Today is our Day 9 of 12 Days of Guitarists and we are pleased to announce Orianthi as our feature. Orianthi has had a long history shredding on the guitar and is absolutely amazing. She first picked up the acoustic guitar when she six years old and at age 11 she moved on to the electric and the rest is history. At the young of 28, this Greek Australian guitar virtuoso has led quite a successful career as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and an amazingly all around talented musician. Many might know her as the guitarist for late Michael Jackson and his ill-fated “This is It “Tour. She went on to not only perform with Alice Cooper’s live band, but her own highly successful solo career. Orianthi is amazing to watch. She makes it look so easy as she shreds on her PRS guitars. You are completely mesmerized as she displays her impeccable technique. This guitar rock goddess not only plays some bad ass guitar but she has an undeniable charismatic stage presence. You can [Read More]

December 21, 2013

We are in the # 4 spot on our Countdown of Bands that will rule in 2014 and the honor goes to The Pretty Reckless. They are on fire right now and their highly anticipated full length album, “Going To Hell” hasn’t even been released. They have had great success this year with a couple of their singles off their new album and had a successful Going To Hell fall tour so far. We had the opportunity to catch them on their Going To Hell tour when they stopped in San Francisco at Slim’s. One thing is for sure The Pretty Reckless has amazing stage presence and their songs are so damn good. Taylor Momsen has stated in the past that her musical influences are Kurt Cobain and Joan Jett and that is exactly what you get with her! She has this amazing grunge style with this rockin attitude and knows how to work the crowd. Ben Phillips on lead guitar and backing vocals was spot on and had some incredible guitar licks and cool slide. Mark [Read More]
