The Hollywood Kills release new lyric video for “Loose Change”

April 24, 2014

  The Hollywood Kills have been on my playlist daily since it’s release.  You can read our review of their EP “Coming Of Age”  here.  As I mentioned before, “The Hollywood Kills new EP, “Coming of Age” should be marketed as the instant mood elevator! Who needs antidepressants when you have an EP filled with 5 songs that will get you out of any funk you could ever be in.  I love music that makes you feel so alive and takes you to even a new found level of euphoric bliss.” The Hollywood Kills may be from Nashville, TN but they mean business with their rock n roll sound sprinkled with punk, pop and even Motown. You will be instantly hooked on this one. The EP was mixed and produced by the amazingly talented, Brian Virtue ( Deftones, Korn, Janes Addiction, Kiss, 30 Seconds to Mars, the list can go on and on). Members Brent Powelson, Preston Jackson, Johnny Angel and Dylan Rowe worked together to create a spectacular EP that will arouse all your sense. The Hollywood Kills have [Read More]

Interview with Consider Me Dead at their stop in San Francisco

April 23, 2014

Consider Me Dead have been getting quite a lot of attention on their latest release, Young at Heart. The album introduces a new style of genre which is quickly gaining in popularity; electronic rock. With the previous EPs of Consider Me Dead, there was a larger focus on electronic or house/dance style music and with the new album, they bring a much heavier rock vibe to it. The album takes this band to a new level and will have all of their fans nodding in agreement.  Brandon Pettitt says, “It’s a side of CMD that you’ve never heard before” and Chris Brewington adds, “We tried to create something nobody has ever done before.” We were able to catch up with the guys at their stop in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge for the “We Own The Night Tour”.
