Sworn In have been quite busy and are just about to release their new album, The Lovers/The Devil next week on April 7th. They are premiering a new song off the upcoming album. Check out their new track, Lay With Me: We were blown away last year when we first saw Sworn In perform at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento for the Monster Energy Outbreak Rock Tour. You can check out our full coverage of that night here: Sworn In on Monster Energy Outbreak. They were one of the highlights of that night and we couldn’t wait for them to return. Last Saturday we were able to catch them once again as they returned to the Ace of Spades for Chelsea Grin’s Ashes To Ashes Tour. Unfortunately, Tyler was out ill and we hope he is fully recovered. With Tyler out, that didn’t stop Sworn In from delivering another kick ass high energy set. We were treated with tour mates, Pablo from Chelsea Grin and Johnny from The Family Ruin on guest vocals.

The Family Ruin prove they are a set not to miss!

March 30, 2015

We were excited to see The Family Ruin on the Ashes To Ashes Tour. We have been featuring this amazing rock band from the UK since they were first announced on KBB Records last year. We brought you our review of their kick ass album, Dearly Departed which was released last September and once again we were excited to catch them live! One thing is for sure, they delivered another amazing kick ass set. This time they were at the Ace of Spades for their first time in Sacramento. The crowd loved them! I love it when a band that I really enjoy listening to can match the same intensity of their music as they do live on stage. This is one band that definitely has no problem conquering that battle. They blew us away with their contagious energy and had the crowd on their feet rockin out. Check out photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan:   From the moment they hit the stage and until they walked off to greet fans at their merch [Read More]
