The Relapse Symphony new single We Are The Broken is OUT NOW and preorder “Shadows”

May 27, 2014

The Relapse Symphony from Washington, DC are set to release their debut LP Shadows on July 8th via Standby Records. The highly anticipated album will show the progression of the band since their release of their 2013 EP, Time’s Running Out. Guitarist JC Charles explains, “When we recorded our EP we were still in the infancy of our band. We were still experimenting and finding ourselves as musicians, and as people. We all went through some of the toughest times of our lives during the making of this album, and we came out on the other side with something we are all extremely proud of. This record is something we know our fans are going to get a lot out of, and hopefully will make us some new fans along the way.” Today is the day that their new single We Are The Broken is released. You can pick it up here on iTunes. It is so unbelievably awesome. It is the perfect youth anthem for today, with a catchy chorus, infectious upbeat tempo, and compelling vocals. [Read More]

Ronnie Ficarro’s new single will have you begging for more new music!

May 24, 2014

With the departure of Ronnie Ficarro of Falling in Reverse and Max Green‘s introduction as the new bassist, it just means we get to hear new music by Ronnie! Ronnie wasted no time in giving us all a taste of his solo project as he released an amazing new track. Reminds me of my favorite quote: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Ronnie Ficarro released his song, Runaway and it is amazing! It has a very punk pop feel with a rock edge. Vocals are engaging, complete with emotionally driven lyrics and is a very catchy tune. It really leaves me begging for more new music by Mr. Ficarro! The song really highlights the talent of Ronnie and his stellar songwriting skills. Some of my favorite lyrics of the song are: “Hoping and I’m praying I’ll face my fears Find what I’ve been looking for all these years” Check out the song here on Spotify: or you can [Read More]
