It is Friday  night and it is time for Rock n Roll and time to PARTY, right?? You can check out the new video released by Steel Panther for their Rockin song, “Party Like Tomorrow Is The End Of The World” but be warned…. 18+ please! If you are not familiar with Steel Panther don’t watch if you think you are just going to see an ’80s rock style band with a cool video. Steel Panther may be completely politically incorrect but I will admit…. I LOVE THEM!!!  This video contains nudity, profanity, sex, drugs and rock and roll.   But what else would you do on the eve of the world ending??? So check it out….   So now that you LOVE that song, you can pick it up on Itunes here.

The Halo Method takeover the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood Nov. 7th!

November 1, 2013

The Halo Method is a rock band from Hollywood & Nashville and is definitely one you  have to be on the look out for. They are rapidly gaining recognition and I am so glad to see it all  happen. I first heard them a couple months back and put them on my list of bands to keep a close eye on. Well of course, things have been so busy that I haven’t taken the time to look at that list. Then, I heard their name again in an interview with Jonny  Hetherington of Art of Dying and was so glad I did. Even in those short months, they have accomplished a lot.  They have been busy working on their debut EP that will take the music world by storm. The Halo Method is Lukas Rossi (Rockstar Supernova), Ben Moody (Evanescence, We Are the Fallen), Dave Buckner (Papa Roach), and Josh Newell. Their music not only delivers a blend of hard rock, alternative, metal, goth and more, but their lyrics also tell incredible stories and take you on a journey through [Read More]

Jonny Hetherington of Art of Dying talks with us about pianos, Sinatra and new album!

November 1, 2013

Rockers, Art of Dying from Canada have a constant spot on my daily music playlist.  Their music not only kicks ass in rock n roll but also have such emotionally charged lyrics that many can connect and relate to.  I personally, have experienced the power of healing through music by listening to my favorite Art of Dying songs at one of the hardest times in my life. It truly is music to feed your soul wrapped in blazing rock and roll.  Art of Dying is Jonny Hetherington on Vocals, Greg Bradley on Guitar, Jeff Brown on Drums, Cale Gontier on Bass/Vocals and Tavis Stanley on Guitar and Vocals. Recently, frontman Jonny Hetherington has released piano versions of a couple of their songs. God For a Day, a heartfelt favorite of mine, is now available on Itunes. You can pick it up here as well as Best I Can which is amazing too!  We recently had the chance to talk with Jonny about his piano songs and what is next in store for Art of Dying. [Read More]

French Metal band DAGOBA release new video for “The Great Wonder”

October 31, 2013

I have been really digging the new music by French metal band, DAGOBA! Even though they have been around since 1997, they are finally getting the recognition and attention they deserve here in the States. They have just released their new video for “The Great Wonder” which is off of their new  LP “Post Mortem Nihil Est,” that will be available here in the US on November 5th. Check out the video:     These guys truly have a great clean Metal sound that I am really loving! They kind of remind me of a mix of Five Finger Death Punch and All that Remains. The vocals are clean and sharp, precision drumming and bad ass guitars.  DAGOBA is currently out on tour in support of DIR EN GREY and they are making a stop in San Francisco at the Regency Ballroom on November 23rd.  We will see if we can bring you an interview with this amazing metal band. DAGOBA is  Shawter on Vocals/Machines, Franky Costanza on Drums,  Zon Guitar and Werther Ytier on Bass. ~Marisol Information [Read More]
