Protest the Hero wins Juno Award for Best Metal/Hard Music Album for “Volition”

April 3, 2014

Last week at the Juno Awards in Canada, Protest The Hero received the Juno for Best Metal/ Hard Music Album for their CD, Volition. Guitarist Tim Millar reacts to the news by saying, “We are very proud to be recognized by the Juno Awards for Best Metal/Hard Music Album of 2013. 2013 was a crazy year and without all the hard work of the people that made the record come to life, and all the people the contributed to the record before hearing a single note, this album would not have been possible. We are forever in your debt.” Guitarist Luke Hoskin adds, “We are thrilled with our recent Juno win! We had incredible company in our category and it could have gone to anyone. We remain proud Canadians even though we are currently touring south of the border. Thanks for all the support!” It is great to see this CD win since Volition was 100% funded by fans through an Indiegogo in 2013. Protest The Hero then licensed the record to Sony Canada, Razor & Tie, and Spinefarm [Read More]

Kingsborough is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 2, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Kingsborough. Today was a bit of a rough day for me so I wanted to feature a band that helped me through this rough patch. So today I wanted to feature the soulful music of Kingsborough. They have an amazing sound that when you take a listen, you might think you entered a time machine and found yourself at a Day on the Green in the late 70s. If I was to describe them I would say they are a mix of The Allman Brothers and The Black Crowes. These are five guys from right here in Santa Rosa and they are bringing their big sound to Bottle Rock Napa this year. Their songs are filled with passionate soulful vocals, fierce guitar solos, sweet harmonies and smooth melodies. Today, when I was listening to Little Miss, it completely just takes me to a better place. The guitars in that song just danced with my soul and fueled me with energy. One of my favorite songs is [Read More]

Barenaked Ladies is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 1, 2014

Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is Barenaked Ladies. Today I am featuring one of my very personal favorites on the Bottle Rock lineup for this year. Barenaked Ladies often referred as BNL, has been one of my favorite bands for well over 20 years. I think if I look hard enough I could still find my original Gordon CD or maybe even the cassette tape that a friend from Canada gave to me prior. I remember the first time I saw them live was in a club in British Columbia and I was there for business and went to check out a local show with some friends. I had no idea who they were or what their music was like. I was your typical 20 year old something that enjoyed all types of music. Well, they came out and performed and sang fun loving songs with so much charisma and energy that I was instantly hooked. When I went back home to the SF Bay Area I told all my friends about them, and [Read More]
