Nothing More is our Monster Aftershock Featured Band of the Day

August 1, 2014

  It has been awesome watching a band truly get the recognition they so well deserve. Nothing More has been one of those bands. We first discovered Nothing More a couple years back and from the first time I saw their live footage videos, I was amazed at how come I didn’t learn of these fantastic musicians sooner! Last year, Nothing More performed at Aftershock Festival, not once but twice! They were the only band to play both days, first during their regular scheduled slot on the side stages and then on the second day they were invited to play the big stage which they took over and dominated. Check out our coverage from last year’s show: Nothing More at Aftershock 2013. Well, a lot has happened in the last year.

They have toured extensively and everywhere they [Read More]

July 24, 2014

Our  Aftershock Festival Featured Band of the Day is Islander. These hardworking guys are currently touring on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. We just saw them a couple weeks ago when they came to the Shoreline Amphitheater for their Northern California stop. They are awesome live.

This hard working band are setting out on another tour right after Mayhem. They will be touring with Otherwise and Like A Storm and then will make a stop for us at the Aftershock Festival. Their tour starts on September 11th and takes them into October.
