Fault Line release new album “Cloud 9” and it ROCKS!

October 13, 2013

Fault Line from Upland, California is delivering their new brand of music, “Modern Classic” Rock that they describe as loud/rude aggressive blus/rock n roll. What I call it is a perfect match. These guys hit the stage and they are there to ROCK YOU! I had the opportunity to catch them earlier this year as they performed at the historic Whisky in Hollywood, CA and they were awesome. Most recently Fault Line released their new CD/Album “Cloud 9” and after listening, it will have you on your own rockin Cloud 9. This album truly delivers some old school rock with a modern flair. They highlight each of the member’s talent on all songs. Sometimes you find an album that has some Kick ass Drums, or some amazing guitar work or vocals and you seem to forget the rest. Not this album, each member has their glory moment on songs and it will have you appreciating all their talent. Fault Line is Brian Karrick on lead vocals, Jeff Mordhorst on Bass, Jeremy Schoen on Lead Guitar [Read More]

The Jaded release first of several new singles, “Wafflebox (My Girl)”

October 11, 2013

Earlier this year, I told you about a great rock band from San Francisco, The Jaded. These guys bring true rock and roll and wrap it in everything from funk, blues and an old school sound that just has you wanting more. They have been hard at work recording several singles and have released the first one. “Wafflebox (My Girl)” is out now and you can get it on Itunes. This song is awesome! It has a great bluesy intro and then kicks into high gear with Jimmy Steal on vocals, he reminds me of a crisper sounding young David Lee Roth. It has a great catchy chorus and just has you moving in seconds. I love the energy that this song gives off and the backing vocals are spot on. Later in the song, there is a great vocals buildup that is fun and cheeky. This local band has definitely honed in on their craft of rock and roll and this song, might be just the one to take them to new heights. We [Read More]

Countdown to new EP by Southerland Nights and interview with Adam!

October 8, 2013

We are counting down the days to the release of Southerland Night‘s new EP, Destroy Something Beautiful. This three piece rock band from Houston, Texas has an incredible devout following that are aptly called The Accolade. Once you take a listen to their emotionally driven high energy alternative rock, you will have no other choice than to join us and be part of The Accolade. Their music reminds me of what would be a cross between early David Bowie and Thirty Second To Mars with a side of Depeche Mode. The band consists of singer/guitarist Adam Elara, bassist Andy Nova and drummer Stephen Adwell. They recently released a very heartwarming and uplifting video for their song, “Here I Am“. You can watch the video here: We had the opportunity to interview Adam and we are pleased to bring that interview to you: * * * * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: How old were you when you first started playing music?

These five guys just have adrenaline running through their veins from the moment they step out on to that stage and give us 150% of what they got. We were excited to see them play, since back in August, we had the opportunity to talk with Chris Jericho about the Sacrifice and Sin tour.

State Line Empire releases new EP Raise Your Sins

September 30, 2013

I love new releases of music. What really gets me excited is when I have a band that I found just by them being an opening act for a headliner and have them become one of my favorite bands. It is the excitement that I get when I got to a show and not know anything about the opening bands and then be treated to a true gem of music. That is what happened several years ago as I watched State Line Empire open up for Steven Adler’s then titled band, Adler’s Appetite at the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco. State Line Empire quickly became one of our family’s favorite bands with hits like and . They just had everything we were looking for in rock and roll with a hint of metal strewn right in. Fast forward to today and I have to share their new release with you. It is awesome! Sometimes bands come out with a new EP trying to re-invent themselves or just giving you a cookie cutter of [Read More]
