Roughneck Riot release brand new video for All That We Know

December 4, 2015

Roughneck Riot have had quite a busy year touring and recently put together some footage of their time on the road for their new video, All That We Know. Frontman Matty Humphries comments, “This song is about giving everything you have to something only for things to not go the way you’d hoped and then starting over and figuring it all out again instead of giving up.” Check out the new video here: The song is off their album, Out of Anger. The band has a couple gigs left this year and will then take a three month break from live performances to start work on another album.  The first gig back in 2016 will be their ‘Annual Birthday Bash’ at The Pyramid Centre in Warrington on 26th March – more info here. “Following that the band will be relentlessly hitting the road again throughout 2016 with a string of EU dates already booked to be announced in the near future.

The Misfits and She Demons deliver epic sets out on the Static Age Revisted Tour!

November 25, 2015

Christmas came early for us here at Music Junkie Press as we experienced three days of Misfits and She Demons shows here in Northern California. We started off with coverage of their sold out show at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma. We anticipated a great night of music but they truly exceed our expectations we were blown away with their sets. The next night they performed at the Rockbar in San Jose and we were not surprised to find many of the same faces of the night before. All exclaiming how they had to see them again and headed out to buy tickets to their next show and so on with the Sacramento show at Ace of Spades. We found dozens of fans who made it out to all three shows, with the intention of only catching one. Luckily the tour was leaving California or we would have all been heading out to another show! (which sounds good to me!) The night kicked off with the She Demons which is an all girl rock band [Read More]

November 18, 2015

Everything Ever may have suffered a setback in August after getting robbed of all of their stuff while preparing for a show, but that didn’t bring them down. They are gearing up to set out on a tour in December. The east coast run starts on 12/03 in Oakville, CT. Joining them on select dates will be Bad Timing Records‘ Romp and the melodic New Jersey punk act The Blithedale Romance. Vocalist/bassist John Trotta comments, “After getting crushed by the robbery this Summer, it’s going to feel great to get back on the road and play some basement shows with bands I love. ROMP and Blithedale are both sick, and I know they’re going to make this our best tour yet. After this run of shows, we’re going into the studio to track an EP that we’ve been working on, so I’m extra-excited to test these new songs out and see how they go over with the crowds.” Check out their video for their song, Big Ideas: The band’s latest LP Solid Ground is available on the [Read More]
