Ashland Belle is “Bringin Country Back!”

September 6, 2013

When I think of Country Music Buffalo, New York is not the first place or even the 10th place that comes to my mind. But after taking a listen to the amazing new band, Ashland Belle, that has all changed. Ashland Belle has only been a band since late last year and have already created a big buzz with their new refreshing country/rock music. As David Guy, the band’s lead vocalist and co-songwriter explains, “We blend today’s Alt-Country with the traditions of old Southern Rock and Country music’s past.” They recently released their appropriately titled album, “Bringin’ Country Back” and I am loving every song on it. You can head over to Itunes or Amazon to download it and let me know which is your favorite song on it. I couldn’t pick a fave since I am loving all of them! Ashland Belle is David Guy on Lead Vocals & Guitar, Josh Long on Bass and Vocals, John Rosini on Lead Guitar and Vocals and Rob Ferenc on Drums.

BUTCHER BABIES release their video for “Magnolia Blvd.” and it is definitely one to watch! This is their first music video from their debut album, “Goliath” and was directed by Daniel Gomez (EYES SET TO KILL, BUCKCHERRY).

Interview with Robb Rivera of Nonpoint & Tour Updates!

September 3, 2013

Nonpoint delivers a shot of adrenaline with every song off of their self-titled ninth studio album. If you have been a long time fan of Nonpoint, then you know that this album captures their high energy charisma that exudes from their music. Even though the album was released late 2012, it has been having quite a successful run with the singles off it. The first single “Left for You” had everyone take notice of this album. They had some lineup changes and in 2011 it was like the rebirth of Nonpoint. You really could feel the energetic synergy that these guys were creating and couldn’t help be drawn to their music. You can pick up your copy at your local music store, Best Buy or head over to Itunes for download. Nonpoint has been touring quite extensively every since the release of the album and have a grueling schedule that has had them on tour across the country. They have a lot more shows too, so make sure to check out the tour dates [Read More]
