Fiona Kernaghan singer songwriter extraordinaire

October 24, 2013

Sometimes you hear a song that just is music to feed your soul. Yesterday was that day for me. I took a listen to a song by Fiona Kernaghan, singer/songwriter and it just melted me. Her song, “I Don’t Want To Remember” not only has some very clever lyrics but Fiona‘s voice is breathtaking and just draws you in to hear more. Fiona is definitely not a novice at songwriting/singing, she has a vast experience that includes having written twenty hit singles, written theme songs to two TV shows, lots of film and tv placements and over one hundred cuts worldwide. I found the song on her blog that I follow The Song Mistress which takes you on Fiona’s journey of her talented songwriting process. So check out her lyric video for her song, “I Don’t Want To Remember” here: She has such a magical voice! This song as well as other music by Fiona is available here on Itunes. Please take the time out to check out this amazing artist! Also, make [Read More]

Falling in Reverse from Aftershock to their upcoming unplugged tour

October 24, 2013

This past June we ran a story about Falling in Reverse as they debuted their new album “Fashionably Late” by playing a free show at the Roxy. You can read that post here and how Falling in Reverse proved that their haters were their motivators! We then had the opportunity to catch Falling in Reverse perform at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento last month. They put on an amazing show that had everyone in the crowd enjoying them, even if they had never heard of them. You can check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together which includes photos and footage of their performance here: Next Tuesday, we will be catching Falling In Reverse as they play at Slim’s in San Francisco at the start of their “An Evening with Falling Reverse Tour” unplugged and uncensored. They are setting out a very special 14 show tour where each ticket includes: Meet & Greet with Falling in Reverse Signed Poster Photo Op w/Falling in Reverse Commemorative Tour Laminate Acoustic performance from Falling in [Read More]

HIM, another highlight from Aftershock Festival

October 24, 2013

The Aftershock Festival last month was filled with amazing artists and one of the bands that truly stood out was Finnish band, HIM. HIM has been consistently delivering their self titled brand of music, “Love Metal” since 1991. They have had a sound that has captured audiences of all ages and genres. What was great to see at the Aftershock Festival were the expanded audience that ranged young kids to seasoned rockers. I truly can’t wait for HIM to return for another show here in California. We had tickets to see them in Hollywood and San Francisco during their North American tour. Unfortunately they had to cancel the night of the Hollywood show due to Ville Valle’s severe asthma attack which led to pneumonia. We were actually staying at The Grafton on the Sunset Strip walking back from Soundcheck and we actually saw the ambulance that took Ville away. We are glad Ville is doing better and happy to see how strong they have come back and put on a hell of an amazing performance [Read More]

Framing Hanley release three FREE songs!

October 24, 2013

Framing Hanley has been hard at work on their album “The Sum of Who We Are” which was funded entirely by their fanbase via a Kickstarter campaign. The album has taken a bit longer than they had anticipated and due to the delay they are treating their fans to three FREE songs that you can get from their website www.framinghanley.com Vocalist Nixon explains, First and foremost, our incredible fans are the reason it’s even possible. They funded the entire thing on Kickstarter. That is still unbelievable to us. Every band says that they feel like they’re getting better with the years. So while I feel that’s a trite statement, I can’t deny it. We’ve never written as much material for an album as we did for this one. We had to cut so many songs that we felt were strong. We also recorded songs for the album that we felt weren’t ‘there’ yet only to go back to the drawing board and get it right. This record from start to finish will be all that we [Read More]

Lynam is out on tour and KICKIN ASS!

October 23, 2013

You may already know how much I LOVE LYNAM but I need to restate the fact again! Last year we had the pleasure of interviewing Jacob Bunton to discuss his work with Adler. You can read that post here. Jacob has some of the most unique and breathtaking vocals in the rock industry today! I swear he could melt ice with those vocals…. HOT! HOT! HOT! Well, Lynam has recently recorded a new ablum “Halfway to Hell” that is set to release in November and I can’t wait for it. Meanwhile, they have been busy touring and doing shows. I wish they were coming out West here but if you are anywhere close, you have to get out and see them. You may even catch them performing my favorite Adler song…. “Good To Be Bad”. Check out this video of them playing it last month. Of course I hope they will be playing my Lynam favorites too, Save My Soul, Wrong Side of the Grave and White Trash Superstar! So make sure to check [Read More]

Goo Goo Dolls release new video for “Come To Me”

October 23, 2013

Goo Goo Dolls have just released their video for their song, “Come To Me” which is off of their new album Magnetic. I have always loved the Goo Goo Dolls and this has been one of my favorite songs off the album. It is the perfect love song to feed your soul. You can’t help but think of that everlasting love. You can check out the video here: It truly has some of my most favorite lyrics: “I caught you burnin’ photographs Like that could save you from your past History is like gravity It holds you down away from me You and me, we’ve both got sins I don’t care about where you’ve been Don’t be sad and don’t explain This is where we start again Start again” Make sure to pick up their album Magnetic on Itunes and visit their social media sites to let Goo Goo Dolls know what you think of their new video! ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: http://www.googoodolls.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/googoodolls Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/googoodolls Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/googoodollsofficial

Trivium unleashed themselves in San Francisco

October 22, 2013

Last week on October 15th Trivium gave a hell of a show at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. We got there in time to see DevilDriver open up for them and they did a kick ass show as well. Then Trivium came out and just unleashed their ferocious selves on San Francisco! It was great to watch and see the action in the pit as well as everyone around. They were all having a great time. Check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together to “BLACK” that includes footage and photos from the night. One thing is for sure, these four guys come out blazing and don’t stop until they step off that stage. Stage presence is spectacular as their energy is just non stop. Matt Heafy on Guitar and Lead Vocals is definitely a crowd pleaser. Then you can’t stop going back and forth to watch madman Corey Beaulieu terrorize his Jackson Guitars and Paolo Gregoletto kills it on his B.C. Rich custom bass. Then you can’t help but look back and seeing [Read More]
