KXM release self titled debut album that will have you begging for more

March 10, 2014

Now and days many musicians have side projects or are in several bands at the same time. We all remember the time, when side projects could signify a band break up or member replacements but now, it is a welcome change. For many passionate musicians time spent off the road or not recording, can cause them to be a bit stir-crazy. Sometimes you just have to unleash your passion and create the music. I love finding out about new bands whether they are new to the scene, supergroups or a one-off side project. One new supergroup that have successfully harnessed their passion and created a MUST HAVE album, is KXM. KXM is comprised of dUg Pinnick (King’s X), George Lynch (Lynch Mob/Dokken) and Ray Luzier (Korn). These three guys who were first friends and then decided to make music together have created a band that will definitely want you begging for more. After taking a listen to their self titled debut album, I couldn’t help but get excited for a tour and even more music. Whether they [Read More]

DELTA ROSE and their new album will take you on a WILD RIDE!

March 7, 2014

One of, if not our Number 1 favorite band, Delta Rose has been busy working on their new music and guess what? It is going to blow your mind! I had a chance to take a listen and I am telling you, get ready, strap your boots on and hold on tight because these boys are going to rock your world. They have a new 6 song EP that they are finishing up and it is stellar, from start to finish. In a time when the lines of rock and roll have been blurred by genres, cores, subcores, crossovers, and so much more, Delta Rose answers my need for true rock and roll. Their rock and roll is infused with blues and groove that there is no way, you can listen to them and stand still. You just have to get up on your foot and move. This album shows how much this band has grown in 6+ years, each one perfecting their own art and have mastered their own style. You can feel [Read More]

March 6, 2014

We had the opportunity to catch Los Angeles band, Fire The Animal as they performed at Lara Gladstone’s Gutter n Grind event at the Troubadour. I love catching shows at the Troubadour because the musical history of the venue’s past seems to create an energy that you can’t ignore. Fire The Animal added to that energy with their charismatic set filled with an updated twist of classic rock. It was an awesome night as you can see by the footage and photos of Fire The Animal in the following tribute video made by Rockin Ryan.
