Slash now gives us something to look forward to on Tuesdays! ERNIE BALL has just launched Real To Reel With Slash which will be a digital series featuring the Grammy winning iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarits, Slash and his band Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators! Starting today, Tuesday February 25th, you can head over to www.slashonline.com to watch the first episode. The artists will give you a fly on the wall look at the recording process and behind the scenes of their forthcoming third solo album album. I have worn out on all my Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators albums so I can’t wait for this one! You will be able to watch interviews, gear talk and just get a peak into their recording world. “I love the process of recording live in the studio and the sound of a rock-n-roll band recorded on two-inch tape as opposed to digital. I thought it would be cool to show some footage of us doing exactly that,“ said Slash. So check it out and [Read More]

Interview with members of We Are Harlot at NAMM 2014 talking about new album, tour and Justin Bieber!

February 21, 2014

Our NAMM 2014 coverage still continues. One of the highlights of our NAMM 2014 coverage was to interview 3/4 members of We are Harlot. We Are Harlot took home our Number 1 Spot on our countdown of 14 Bands that will rule 2014 and believe me they will definitely be proving us right this year. We Are Harlot is a band that has been 2 years in the making and the time is now for them. We Are Harlot is Danny Wornsop (Asking Alexandria) on Vocals, Brian Weaver (SilverTide) on Bass, Bruno Agra on Drums and our very own Day 1 of 12 Days of Guitarists; Jeff George (Sebastian Bach) on Guitar. We first heard the news of We Are Harlot last year and also had the opportunity to chat with Jeff George as he told us how We Are Harlot began. You can read that interview here. During NAMM we were able to grab Danny, Jeff and Brian for a quick interview. We are pleased to bring it to you here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS0f4TQBq2o&feature=youtu.be] Here is an excerpt [Read More]

Interview with Delta Rose after their stellar performance at the Troubadour

February 21, 2014

Delta Rose! That is the band that I am hoping that you already know by now. We featured them last year during our Golden Gods Awards Coverage, Warped Tour Featured band as well as them being our Day 5 of our 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know. So I am hoping you have been paying close attention and are already familiar with these bad ass rockers… Delta Rose! These guys not only bring the old school rock and roll back to life with their young vibrant personalities but are also one of the hardest working bands on the scene. They are not only busy playing shows all over Southern California but we even caught them performing at the Gibson booth during NAMM 2014. They are an awesome band that you can’t help but fall in love with them. Last weekend, we headed down to see Delta Rose perform at Lara Gladstone’s Gutter n Grind event at the Troubadour. This would be the first time we were able to catch a full set from one of our [Read More]

NiteRain release new single “The Threat” from upcoming album

February 21, 2014

Last year we introduced you to NiteRain as one of Tuesdays Travels. Here is an excerpt from that post: “This week, I have incredible ’80s inspired rock band from Oslo, Norway as our Tuesdays Travels Pick. They are NiteRain and they have an amazing sound. Their music reminds me of catching early Motley Crue out on the Sunset Strip in the ’80s. Early Vince Neil style vocals, Kick ass guitar riffs, slamming bass and energetic drums. Together you have the intense rock n roll of NiteRain.” NiteRain is Adrien Persen on Guitar, Sebastian Tvedtnaes on Vocals, Morten Garberg on Drums and Frank Karlsen on Bass. They have been known to have explosive stage presence and deliver high velocity sleaze rock. These guys are definitely in the running to take over the glam sleaze rock scene! They have had great success in touring with L.A. Guns across Europe and we hope they come out here to the US soon. Their glam infused rock is just as contagious as their fierce energy and is something we need. You [Read More]

The Hollywood Kills EP “Coming of Age” is an instant mood elevator!

February 20, 2014

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. Coming of Age starts right off with a cool guitar intro and great build up. This song is just as it describes, it is like having your senses all awakened and literally [Read More]
