Interview with Sinner Sinners as we await the release of their album XI on April 21st!

April 18, 2014

Happily married rocker couple Steve and Sam Thill met in a small town in the center of France at the age of 15 and fell fast in love. Eight years later in 2009, the couple started SINNER SINNERS out of their mutual love of rock music and desire to be at each other’s sides throughout all aspects of their musical careers. Since their inception and relocation to Los Angeles, SINNER SINNERS have pushed their forceful punk-influenced rock n’ roll out to the controlled masses, but see 2014 as a figurative launching pad designed to hit the big time. This is definitely the year for SINNER SINNERS. SINNER SINNERS are just about to release their new album, XI in only a few days, April 21st to be exact. I have taken a listen and it is awesome! It is filled with aggressive punk infused rock songs that will electrify your senses and intensify your emotions. There is something so pure about this album where you can actually feel the passion of this married couple being emulated through their music. Definitely [Read More]

The Cure is our Bottle Rock Napa 2014 Featured Band of the Day

April 18, 2014

  Today our Bottle Rock Napa Featured Band is The Cure. Yes, it is Friday and I’m in Love and so I had to feature The Cure today. The Cure are a band that really needs no explanation, introduction or description; they are THE CURE!!!  We all know them and many, many, many of us love them. I have been a true diehard fan of The Cure since maybe 1980 when I first heard, Boy’s Don’t Cry. I was listening to a lot of the classic 70’s style rock since I had two older brothers and a lot of R&B and Disco since I also had three older sisters. With the introduction of The Cure into my world, it became My Music, music for my generation. My older sisters and brothers definitely did not get it nor did they like it. That is also what drew me even more to listening to The Cure, my rebellious nature at 13 or 14 was kicking into high gear and The Cure soon became another soundtrack to a period in my [Read More]

The Architects bring some good ole’ fashion punk rock to life at the Ace of Spades

April 2, 2014

Last night we were at the Ace of Spades for the Blue October SWAY tour and the opening band really kicked ass!! Opening the tour for Blue October on this next leg of their SWAY tour is a punk rock band from Kansas City, MO. Allow me to introduce you to The Architects. The Architects are Brandon on Guitar/Vocals, Adam on Drums Brown Drums, Zach on Bass/Vocals and Keenan on Guitar. These four guys deliver a set fueled with high energy old fashioned punk rock. In a time where music contains so many genres, subgenres, cores, etc it is nice to see a band not trying to create the “next new sound” but instead perfecting an old familiar favorite; punk rock. They were truly awesome and you should definitely try to catch them when they are coming to a venue near you. We were able to pick up their album BORDER WARS, a concept album and comic book that is presented in five episodes. It is a great marketing tool as well as a interesting comic book that could stand alone outside [Read More]
