Trapt release new single Passenger and catch them out on tour this summer

June 18, 2015

California Rockers TRAPT have returned with a new release of their song, Passenger. The new single is off their upcoming album, DNA. Vocalist Chris Taylor Brown comments on the song, ““Passenger” is an important song to TRAPT and the self-empowerment message it spreads. Always looking to someone else to “get you there” will never get you anywhere, as only the individual knows what is best for them. We have all been a “Passenger” at some point or another, because it’s easy to feel lost. Just know that everyone else feels this way too, even when they say they know where they are going. What separates each and every one of us, is whether or not we have the strength to actually take the wheel and put our lives into our own hands, even when we are lost. Especially when we are lost! It’s the only way to find out who we really are.” Check out the new song here: In addition, TRAPT will be heading out on tour this summer with supporters Sons Of Texas. [Read More]

Twin Berlin does it again with their new release, Nate’s Volvo

June 18, 2015

Punk grunge rock band, Twin Berlin from Connecticut are at it again. They have captured my attention with another one of their new songs. They have just released a catchy new track, Nate’s Volvo that brings out the nostalgia of punk rock sprinkled with grungy garage band flair.  It is raw and organic, the way I prefer my music these days! Check out their new track: Nate’s Volvo by Twin Berlin The song is off their forthcoming new album, DROWNER. We will see if we can get more details for you on the new album as I am very excited for it. In a time where music seems to be transformed and repackaged in a state so far from it’s organic beginnings, it is refreshing to see a band like Twin Berlin spotlight the raw feel of their music.   For now, visit their social media sites and while you are at it, head over to their Bandcamp page and pick up their music. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: http://twinberlin.net/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TwinBerlin Twitter: https://twitter.com/twinberlin Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/twinberlinmusic
