Ice Nine Kills is another one of our Warped Tour Highlights!

July 5, 2014

The next great band for us to feature on our Vans Warped Tour Coverage is none other than the melodically heavy, Ice Nine Kills. This was the first time I saw them perform live and I have been looking forward to it. They completely blew my expectations and exceeded them in so many ways. I always knew they deliver a solid energetic set but they really took the reins of the crowd and have everyone fired up. The first day we saw them, they were performing at the first slot of the day on the Monster Stage. Everyone seemed to already know because as the gates opened, the crowd funneled in and went right to the Monster Stage. The singer is a true crowd pleaser as he made it down to the crowd and interacted with them throughout their set. Ice Nine Kills is: Spencer – Vocals, Screams JD – Guitar, Screams Conor – Drums Justin – Bass Together these four dominated that stage and the crowd seemed to know every word of their songs.

Upon a Burning Body release new song, Red Razor Wrists and catch them on Mayhem Fest!

July 2, 2014

So after all the hysteria over the publicity post for Upon A Burning Body from earlier today, they have released a bad ass new track! As I mentioned earlier in my post, I hope people just get over it and move forward. Publicity stunts have been around for ages and will continue to be around. It is a form of art and is used in a dramatic effect to create an element of mystery, anticipation and so much more. Sadly, we now live in hyper-sensitive and overly magnified world in which within minutes news travels as is no longer considered a “hype” or “build-up”. I have always loved the music of Upon a Burning Body and will continue to. So with that said, check out their fierce new track: I look forward to catching them this weekend as they head out on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Check the dates below and get yourself to a show! Band Members: Danny – Vocals CJ- Guitar Ruben- Bass Sal- Guitar Make sure to visit their social [Read More]
