Another highlight from Bottle Rock was Smash Mouth

June 5, 2014

We had listed SmashMouth as one of our featured bands of the Day for Bottle Rock last month and they were awesome last Saturday. We were running around like crazy but we were glad we could make it out to the Miner Stage to catch a few of their songs from their set. It was packed from front to back, side to side. They were truly there to give the fans what they wanted; an absolutely fun time filled with their favorite songs. This band does not need any introduction as almost all of us at one time or another cranked up “All Star” and sang out loud at the top of our lungs. I have always had a love affair with SmashMouth since they bring out the fun side in me and capture the perfect essence of summer! You can’t help but listen to their music loud and dance along as their music has always been the life of the party! “When we play itʼs a nonstop party,” Steve Harwell, lead singer says.

Interview with Charming Liars and get ready for new music!

June 5, 2014

Charming Liars is one British/American band that you have to know! They have had quite a successful year touring last year and we had the chance to catch them on the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. We were immediately drawn into their charismatic personalities and energetic sets. Several of the members have since relocated from London and call Los Angeles home now. They played a lot of the great venues in Los Angeles and everyone began to take notice of them. They soon worked with legendary producer Bob Rock and released their new EP “We Won’t Give Up” on May 19th. The EP is filled with five great tracks that are fun alternative rock style songs. You will get hooked on them and find yourself singing along in no time! We had the chance to talk with vocalist Charlie Cosser and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: As we discussed in the interview, they are going to be busy working on new music, making music videos and heading out on the road.
