Interview with The Karma Killers as they bring high energy rock to Vans Warped Tour

June 26, 2015

Vans Warped Tour has an amazingly diverse lineup this year and there is definitely something for everyone at the festival.  The only problem might be that so many bands are playing at the same time and you wish you could clone yourself so you don’t miss all the great sets.  One of our highlights of Vans Warped Tour is the kick ass band, The Karma Killers. Hailing from New Jersey is this punk infused rock/pop band that will soon become one of your favorites. We were able to chat with them shortly before their set on the Ernie Ball stage and are pleased to bring that interview to you here. (We apologize for the audio in advance)     We caught them on the Ernie Ball stage and they just tore it up. Their non stop energy drew the crowd in as you couldn’t walk away from this non-stop rock. They even got the crowd all riled up with a stellar cover of Rockaway Beach by the Ramones. They have excellent stage presence and I [Read More]

The Kenneths guarantees to be one of the Warped Tour highlights this summer

May 26, 2015

Sometimes when things are going a little crazy, I will pull out my old box of cassettes that are filled with mixtapes from my school years. There is just something that about listening to my old Ramones, The Clash, Social Distortion, Cure songs that will just make everything alright. I don’t need to dig deep for those mixtapes when I can crank up the Kenneths loud. Their new song Cool As You will have you screaming in punk rock delight. Check out the new song: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/207262827″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] It is an amazing track and I found myself in a time warp as I listen to them but then excitedly realized that I would be seeing them this summer out on Warped Tour!  The band explains, “”Cool As You” is about seeing all the cool kids and just wishing you could fit in, and be hip. Even though it’s actually far better to be an outcast and a misfit. You work harder, and end up doing way better. The cool kids at school [Read More]
