CROBOT announces new tour dates with Kyng and Kill Devil Hill

March 25, 2014

– TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT – We just got the news that one of our FAVORITE BAD ASS BANDS… CROBOT is heading out on tour at the end of April with two more of our favorite bands; Kyng and Kill Devil Hill. We just saw Kyng on Sunday night when they performed with Lacuna Coil in Sacramento. I believe that was the 5th time I have seen Kyng and they are just awesome. Just last week, we brought you our interview with Crobot as we met up with them prior to their set at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Unbelievable set! Crobot is a four piece band from Pennsylvania that have a Dirty Groove Rock sound. They are like no other band out there today. Crobot is bringing the life back into classic rock/ stoner rock with a double dose of groove in a modern style. Think like Zep ala Soundgarden with a side of Wolfmother. They have such a killer sound that is groove heavy, riff rock or as they say: “Bang your head [Read More]

March 24, 2014

Exciting news to announce about Framing Hanley. They are set to release their new album, The Sum of Who We on April 29th on their new label Imagen Records. This will be Framing Hanley‘s third CD and the first in 4 years. Frontman Nixon explains, “There was definitely a dark period during the 2 years we spent recording this.That’s not to say this album is some dark and brooding album. There are definitely some light-hearted tunes on here as well; some that are fun. This album is the past 2 years of our lives and is every part of our beings…that’s what the title means. This album really is the sum of who we are. The thing that I love most is, I think when the listener puts on those headphones, or puts the cd in the car, he or she is gonna listen and come to find out, hey, me and this guy have got some things in common!” This album is said to be the bands boldest artistic statement to date capturing the essence of innocence and hope, light [Read More]

The Lad Classic delivers straight up rock and roll, no chaser needed!

March 24, 2014

The Lad Classic is a four piece rock band from Toronto, Canada. They are here to deliver straight up Rock n Roll, no chaser needed! The Lad Classic is Paul Stevens on Vocals, Ben Healey on Guitar, Mark Rynkun on Bass and Josiah Whitney on Drums. Check out their video for their song for Cadillac Jack here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfmF8xP8Gp8&feature=youtu.be] That song is so good, love the great modern pre-chorus into a powerful 80’s rocker scream. The guitars have a bluesy GnR Izzy Stradlin feel to it and pumps out a catchy riff. The vocals truly are smooth yet powerful. Drums and Bass mix in very well and complete the rhythm. I am definitely looking forward to checking out their new EP, Thunder which was released last week. You can pick up the EP on Itunes here. Make sure to visit their social media sites and check out this great band. We will see if we can bring you an interview as well as an album review. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.theladclassic.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/theladclassic Twitter: www.twitter.com/theladclassic Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/thunder/id829752251 Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/TheLadClassic

Interview with Dirty Groove Rockers CROBOT as they take over the DNA in San Francisco!

March 22, 2014

I have been looking forward to covering a lot of shows this month, but none as much as Crobot. Crobot is a four piece band from Pennsylvania that have a Dirty Groove Rock sound. They are like no other band out there today. Crobot is bringing the life back into classic rock/ stoner rock with a double dose of groove in a modern style. Think like Zep ala Soundgarden with a side of Wolfmother. They have such a killer sound that is groove heavy, riff rock or as they say: “Bang your head and shake your ass at the same time“. That is the perfect way to describe it it. One thing they are not lacking is ENERGY and you definitely can’t miss them. We were excited to have them coming to San Francisco and we caught up with them before playing their set at the DNA Lounge. Here is that interview: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAsz-bxPDqk&feature=youtu.be] These guys are so much fun and they all have an infectious laugh. Their personalities light up the room on and [Read More]

Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to catch Eyes Set To Kill in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge. They have been busy on tour for the “Revolver Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock Tour” and were performing at the intimate upstairs stage at the DNA Lounge.

With the recent departure of Cisco, they had an energetic rhythm guitarist play on a couple songs with them. They also performed a couple [Read More]
