"Don’t Walk Away" from Mike Trisain!

October 6, 2012

Today I want to introduce you to Mike Trisain who is from New York, New York and is providing us with some great Rock/Edge Metal music . We had a chance to catch up with Mike and we hope you get to know this great musician. His music reminds me of early Billy Idol with a dark side of David Bowie and an edgier Alice in Chains.  I think you are going to enjoy this! Music Junkie Press:  Mike, you are an inspiration to others and your music will always be soul touching and we are grateful for that! Keep giving us such beautiful music to be thankful for.

Enjoy a Funky Rock and Blues Fusion with AmAEvolutioN!

September 30, 2012

The great thing about Music is that there are so many different genres out there to enjoy at any time. I love not being pegged into a music genre hole and just listening to one thing. I listen to all types of music and enjoy each one of them. So today I want to introduce you to enjoy a  Funky Rock and Blues fusion cocktail that is AmAEvolutioN.  They have such an incredible sound that just blends so many types of music and just comes together beautifully.  You will hear some Rock, R & B, Soul, Funk and Blues all meshed together that just has me captivated! Being a native from the Bay Area, I applaud Berkeley native Nadiya Lewis on her commanding presence on her vocals. She just sings right to your soul and you can just feel her emotions!  Then you can really enjoy the guitarist Sergio de Paula Lima as he lays down some great guitar work complimenting the cool bass lines of Musashi “Moose” Lethridge  and topping it off with the smooth [Read More]

Get your Rock and Roll Fix with Shotgun Harlot!

September 26, 2012

Sometimes with music today, I long to hear down and dirty ROCK n ROLL!! You know what I am talking about, right? The kind of Rock that has you with your fists in the air, drink in the other hand and just raising some hell with your friends. Those were the good days but wait, they don’t have to be in the past. There is a great band that I saw last month, Shotgun Harlot when they opened up for 12 Stones at the historical Phoenix Theater in Petaluma. You can revisit my review of that night here: “‘Get Infected with 12 Stones”.  That was an awesome night and I really fell in love with Shotgun Harlot. Well I recently had the opportunity to interview Dylan D. Waltz lead singer of the band and here is what he had to say: Music Junkie Press:     How and when did Shotgun Harlot come together? Dylan Waltz:   I was in the process of piecing together a new band when a mutual friend of Joe and [Read More]

Denmark dishes up some some Cold Black for great Hard Rock!

September 11, 2012

I have been listening lately to some great Heavy Hard Rock by the Danish Band, Cold Black. I discovered them a few weeks ago and have been anxiously waiting for their EP which is just released. They have a great heavy sound that reminds me of  some of my favorite bands, like Asking Alexandria blended with Black Veil Brides and a touch of Motley Crue old school style! Leave it to the Danish to give us some new awesome hard hitting rock as we continue to thank them for the great gift of Lars Ulrich. So coming from their hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark; Cold Black is Victor “Terry” Rimpler on Vocals and Bass, Alex Rimpler and Martin “Sane” Dupont on guitars and Jamal Aaron Gordon on drums. They have just released their new video which is produced by Torben Packert, and has Patrick Dræby Ravn on cameras/editing along with Production by Tobias Wiig Jørgensen, Lucas Haim & Pernille Bitsch and the assistance of Patrick Schouw & Anders Elgaard. Victor blends his charismatic chorus with his awesome hard hitting [Read More]

Hello World, It’s time to listen to Miggs!

August 30, 2012

My son Ryan and I had the pleasure of seeing a great band last year when they opened up for Candlebox and since then I have been listening to their music and following their career.  Please allow me to introduce them to you. “Hello World, I would like you to meet one of the hardest working bands out there, MIGGS and they have the great sound to back it all up!” Miggs has been around since 2001 and in that time were able to put out 5 great albums and they are not shy about touring. They are no stranger to booking upwards of 150 shows per year. When you watch them live, you can see how they truly enjoy what they are doing and their passion for their music shines through their songs. They have a great Rock/Pop sound but are so much more than just a title of a genre. With their incredible songwriting and their “feel good” music, they will have you dancing around in no time. They currently have their new [Read More]

Time to Hold On and take a listen to Shaun Grant

August 28, 2012

There is a new acoustic wonder that I would like to introduce you to. Shaun Grant is a talented singer/songwriter from Newcastle UK. Sometimes after playing in bands you decide when is the right time to travel that different path and do at alone and present your solo material to the world. Well that time is now for Shaun and we welcome his refreshing and soul touching sound. Shaun has a charming voice and with his easy listening and romantic lyrics will have you singing along in no time. His music is melodic and lyric driven which invites the listener and captivates them with his catchy verses.  If you like Oasis or Ed Sheeran and romance of David Gray, you will be immediately drawn into Shaun’s music. You can currently hear two of Shaun’s song on soundcloud at www.soundcloud.com/shaun-grant-acoustic and I think you will really enjoy them. I especially love the violin on his song, “Make You Mine” it completes the song.  I look forward to hearing more from Shaun Grant and hope you join me in [Read More]
