Awoken Shadows debut album, Till Death Do Us Part is a MUST HAVE!

July 8, 2014

We are excited to announce that the debut album by the fast rising band, Awoken Shadows is now available. Their debut album, Till Death Do Us Part was released today and available on iTunes, GooglePlay, Amazon, etc. Awoken Shadows have been garnering a lot of high praises and are sure to capture everyone’s attention with this new album. For a debut album, they are coming out of the gate running and have delivered a complete musical gem. After first listen, you may think you are listening to a well established band of many years since the songs are well written, fluidly executed and blends so well the style of theatrical metalcore and post hardcore rock. They have seamlessly created songs that create depth with layers, rich in cinematic tones and bring to life their theatrical style. It is like the gifted offspring of Vampires Everywhere, Avenged Sevenfold and early Motionless in White with a side of Danny Worsnop growls/screams. There is the right mixture of heaviness amid the melodic chorus’ that creates their own unique sound that [Read More]

July 3, 2014

This year Warped Tour really had a variety of bands for everyone to enjoy. Some long time favorites and some new bands. I have to tell you about how we found this next band. Rockin Ryan and I were heading to the main stage to cover a set and we were running by the Ernie Ball stage.

Vans Warped Tour has been going strong and delivering an array of awesome music for the past twenty years. Summer wouldn’t be summer without enjoying Warped Tour. We recently covered two of the California dates and have been enjoying so many of the bad ass bands. One of our Warped Tour highlights is The Word Alive.

Letters to the Universe wants you to know that your voice matters!

July 2, 2014

When we were at the Shoreline date of Warped Tour this past month, one of the booths we were excited to stop by was the social art project Letters To The Universe. They have been spreading the word that everyone’s voice matters and deserves to be heard. In a time where, social interaction typically means texting, emailing, liking posts, etc we seem to forget to listen to the most important voice; our own. The simple act of writing out your message, hopes, wishes, dreams can be so rewarding. It gives a value to your voice and in turn a value to yourself. Letters to the Universe is doing just that, one letter at a time and maybe you might even get to put on some wings. This year, Letters to the Universe were at one date of the Warped Tour but I hope they continue on and maybe next year, do the whole tour. So many people that day were helped by their presence there and I can only imagine what amount of good [Read More]
