Interview with Jeff Hignite of Mindcage as we talk about their amazing concept album!

May 14, 2014

If you are a fan of Iron Maiden, Rush, Queensryche, Dream Theater or Judas Priest, I have a very special treat for you. Do you like your heavy metal dipped in progression and wrapped in a grand storytelling concept album? Hell Yes, You Do! Mindcage is the band for you. They are not new to the metal scene, they were formed in 1996 but they are finally getting the recognition they so well deserve. The are receiving grand praise for their Dystopian Concept Album “Our Own Devices”. Our Own Devices takes musical creativity and imagination to another level, introducing the world to the character of Arabella Vash, a young woman who uses the power of her dreams to transform the dystopian world she inhabits. It takes the listener on a musical journey filled with powerful rock, heavy metal, progressive melodies, steampunk influence, and it completely engages you from the first note to the last.

We Are Harlot new single, DENIAL is set to give rock and roll a much needed facelift!

May 14, 2014

Earlier today, We Are Harlot released their much anticipated new single, Denial. This was not only their first single, but gave their fans a true taste of what to expect from the upcoming We Are Harlot album. We Are Harlot is a band three years in the making and they must be quite proud of themselves to see their vision finally come to fruition. Now let’s talk about the song itself. It starts off with a tease of a ballad through Danny’s smooth vocals and Bruno transitions us with his fierce drumming and Brian on his rousing bass into heavy ROCK N ROLL mode. The tempo is then kicked up a notch further as Jeff leads us into a full on guitar frenzy. One of my favorite highlights of the song is the chorus which I can only imagine the crowd at Rock on the Range singing along to. Jeff then spoils us with a smoking solo that will have you drooling and begging for more. We are even treated to a bit of Danny’s signature growls [Read More]

One of our FAVORITE BAD ASS BANDS… CROBOT just released their new music video for Nowhere To Hide and it is KILLER!!!! These guys have such a refreshing new sound.,Crobot is a four piece band from Pennsylvania that have a Dirty Groove Rock sound. They are like no other band out there today. Crobot is bringing the life back into classic rock/ stoner rock with a double dose of groove in a modern style. Think like Zep ala Soundgarden with a side of Wolfmother. They have such a killer sound that is groove heavy, riff rock or as they say: “Bang your head and shake your ass at the same time“. That is the perfect way to describe it it. One thing they are not lacking is ENERGY and you definitely can’t miss them. We can’t get enough of them.
