July 9, 2014

Adelita’s Way are gearing up for the release of their third studio album, Stuck via Virgin Records. The release is set for July 29th but you can get your pre-orders in now. They have added another song for instant download with the pre-order. Fans that pre-order Stuck will receive downloads of their hit single “Dog On A Leash,” title-track “Stuck,” and the recently added track “A Different Kind of Animal” instantly via iTunes. Exclusives bundles are now available on www.adelitaswaymusic.com and include several instant downloads and collectable items. To create the album, the Las Vegas-based quartet joined forces with the Grammy-winning Nick Raskulinecz (Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, and Queens of the Stone Age) and holed up for eight weeks of nonstop recording in a cabin deep in the woods outside Nashville. The first single off the album, Dog on a Leash, has been getting a lot of attention. It is a fierce new rock track that definitely shows how much this band has grown and is soon becoming everyone’s favorite new song. You can check out the song by watching their video [Read More]

Mushroomhead is definitely a highlight of Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest

July 9, 2014

This past weekend, we made it out to the Rockstar Mayhem Fest as it made it’s stop at the Shoreline Amphitheater on July 6th. We are looking forward to telling you about all the great sets but we wanted to tell you about one of the highlights of the Festival. We were excited to see that this band lives up to and exceeds anyone’s expectations with their energy filled dynamic set. The highlighted band we are talking about is none other than the great Mushroomhead. They came out onto the Coldcock American Herbal Whiskey stage to a packed crowd that extended all the way to the booths. The energy of the crowd was intense and once Mushroomhead began to play, the energy was raised ten fold! It was unreal and amazing. These guys deliver a non-stop adrenaline filled set that is 100% entertaining on all levels. They sounded on point the whole show and their stage presences are captivating and well deserving of a main stage. These guys should be placed on the main stage because that [Read More]

Our Warped Tour discovery highlight goes to One OK Rock

July 8, 2014

Vans Warped Tour truly brings so many great bands to everyone, some you may know, some you may have heard of but never seen and some you may have never heard of before. The great thing about Warped Tour is the exposure that these bands receive and how they make so many new fans after their performances. Our Warped Tour discovery highlight choice goes to a band that I have never heard of or seen before and when I did, they completely blew me away! They are One Ok Rock from Japan. I wish I had learned of them sooner because I would have been cranking them out loud for the past several years! One OK Rock have an aggressively live performance that completely captivates you. Their songs blend rock and metal with some fierce Japanese flair. Their stage presence is one of the best and will take you by surprise if you happen to be walking by the Beatport Stage. That is how we found them and thankfully, we walked by on the first [Read More]

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.
