Day 5 of 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know goes to Delta Rose

December 13, 2013

Today on Day 5 of our 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know goes to the bad ass rockers who were our featured band of Warped Tour 2013…. Delta Rose! These guys truly know how to bring the old school rock and roll back to life with their young vibrant personalities that you can’t help but fall in love with.  They are also one of the hardest working bands out there. You can catch them playing shows on the Sunset Strip at The Viper Room or  House of Blues where they truly belong. If you can imagine Sunset Strip back in the ’80s and all the great rock bands during that time, well Delta Rose definitely channels those bands as they bring their energy and high spirited stage antics to life when they perform live.  You will think you took a trip back in time. We had the opportunity earlier this year to interview Delta Rose right out on the Sunset Strip before their show at The Viper Room for the Revolver Golden Gods [Read More]

Join RED9 in the making of their new music video!

November 5, 2013

I remember the first time I saw Red9. They were personally chosen by Slash to open for him at his Los Angeles Wiltern show in 2012. They were incredible. Red9 is a Southern California rock trio. Just because there are only 3, does not mean they do not deliver a huge sound! These guys are a powerhouse of rock and adrenaline. Then earlier this year, they released their CD “Under Dark Skies” and it KICKED ASS! You can read my review of their CD here. Well, here we are in November and they are ready to make a video for their song, Ignoramus off their CD. I can only imagine what they will do that song. It is great, it has a dark edgy sound with an exuberant build up.   They have just announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund their Official  Video. They had great success with their first music video “Fanatico” that included an Orange County Music Award nomination for best music video. So head over to their Kickstarter page and see how you can [Read More]

Framing Hanley release three FREE songs!

October 24, 2013

Framing Hanley has been hard at work on their album “The Sum of Who We Are” which was funded entirely by their fanbase via a Kickstarter campaign. The album has taken a bit longer than they had anticipated and due to the delay they are treating their fans to three FREE songs that you can get from their website www.framinghanley.com Vocalist Nixon explains, First and foremost, our incredible fans are the reason it’s even possible. They funded the entire thing on Kickstarter. That is still unbelievable to us. Every band says that they feel like they’re getting better with the years.  So while I feel that’s a trite statement, I can’t deny it. We’ve never written as much material for an album as we did for this one. We had to cut so many songs that we felt were strong.  We also recorded songs for the album that we felt weren’t ‘there’ yet only to go back to the drawing board and get it right.  This record from start to finish will be all that we [Read More]

Come join Nasty Habit in the making of their next EP

October 23, 2013

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures I told you earlier this year about an incredible rock band from New York, Nasty Habit that has a rock and roll passion that is non stop. They have a high energy ’80s style rock sound that you will grab you when you first listen to their songs like Heart Breakin, Hip Shakin, Saturday Night, and Tripped.  Nasty Habit has Tommy Ende on lead vocals, Kenny Ende on guitar, David Jordan on drums, and Frankie Wheeler on bass. When I first heard Nasty Habit, they completely renewed my faith in the younger generation to keep true rock and roll alive. Nasty Habit will make sure that Rock and Roll is here to stay! In order for this hard working, self funded, self managed band to continue putting out this KILLER ROCK n ROLL without a record label, they need your help! As you know from the past, I am a big believer and backer of bands utilizing the Kickstarter campaigns. Well, this time I want you to join me in supporting these rockers as they [Read More]
