July 16, 2013

Tuesdays Travels  Feature Band We have a new feature here at Music Junkie Press where we will be introducing you to a new band each week from anywhere in the World. Today we are going to travel  to Surabaya, Indonesia and ask you to welcome Morganostic into your playlist. They describe themselves as “We are a legion of groovy riffs, jaw dropping tones, sweet harmonics, and angry vocals. We have no rule in creating our songs, each song is a different masterpiece. We are limitless.. ”  Well, they do have the music to back up that claim. As soon as I checked them out, I was really loving their sound, they definitely fuse some electonic with their high energy guitar riffs to create a fresh new metal sound.  Check out their new song, ‘To Conceive”  which is going to be released on their debut EP in a few months as they are being supported by Youtube promoter, Beheading the Traitor.

Interview with Modern Day Renaissance Man… JINXX of Black Veil Brides

July 12, 2013

For years, the Baroque period of music has influenced many rock musicians as they brought out intense emotions through their music. During the ’80s, several rock acts also brought forth their ability to play classical music into their own style.  From Richie Blackmore to Yngwie Malmsteen they brought a new life to rock.  Some heavy metal musicians would take inspiration of the loud, dramatic tones that would come from Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Paganini. Today you even have sub genres of music that completely encompass these sounds, ranging from symphonic rock, baroque pop, rock opera, etc.  What I truly enjoy is when a rock/metal band infuses their own sound with these classical influences without overpowering or completely altering their sound. For me, one of the most successful bands that has achieved this today is Black Veil Brides. Not only do they deliver incredible music that is filled with emotionally driven lyrics, but has classical compositions interwoven through their songs.  Their most recent album, Wretched and Divine, The Story of the Wild Ones captures this essence with their [Read More]

Falling in Reverse set the Roxy on fire today for their daytime show which was streamed live worldwide.

We had the opportunity to watch the show and I will let you know…. Falling in Reverse is a force to be reckoned with. This just may be their year and I am very excited for all of them.  This band has had to endure many ups and downs and to see how far they have come after climbing over a mountain of haters they are certainly reigning as “Champions”.  Obviously their haters are their motivators and if they continue to push the bar with their music, they will continue to rise to [Read More]
