Spider Rockets deliver the perfect blend of rock

October 24, 2013

I always enjoy hearing from our audience about bands to check out. Most recently I received a tip from Bill (@MetalGod41 on Twitter) to check out Spider Rockets. I had heard of this band before and was glad for the refresh from him. He included their video for “Going Down” in his message and it was awesome! Spider Rockets are from New Jersey and these rockers really kick ass. They have a very unique sound since they perfectly blend their influences of punk, rock, metal, alternative and much more. Sometimes bands with a variety of influences seem to get lost in their identity, not Spider Rockets. They have created their OWN Identity and it will have you Rockin in no time! Helena Cos is on lead vocals and she has such a charismatic energy while she sings that draws you in. Johnny Nap is on lead guitar and backing vocals and Greg Manning on bass guitar and backing vocals. On drums is Dan Prestup. These four together conjure up some bad ass rock. Check out their [Read More]

Come join Nasty Habit in the making of their next EP

October 23, 2013

Desperate Times, Desperate Measures I told you earlier this year about an incredible rock band from New York, Nasty Habit that has a rock and roll passion that is non stop. They have a high energy ’80s style rock sound that you will grab you when you first listen to their songs like Heart Breakin, Hip Shakin, Saturday Night, and Tripped. Nasty Habit has Tommy Ende on lead vocals, Kenny Ende on guitar, David Jordan on drums, and Frankie Wheeler on bass. When I first heard Nasty Habit, they completely renewed my faith in the younger generation to keep true rock and roll alive. Nasty Habit will make sure that Rock and Roll is here to stay! In order for this hard working, self funded, self managed band to continue putting out this KILLER ROCK n ROLL without a record label, they need your help! As you know from the past, I am a big believer and backer of bands utilizing the Kickstarter campaigns. Well, this time I want you to join me in supporting these rockers as they [Read More]

So you think I forgot about telling you our Tuesdays Travels pick of the week? Hell no! It was a busy music day but tonight I want to introduce you to our Tuesdays Travels Band from Melbourne, Australia. MYSTERY is a kick ass band of four young talented rockers.

Well, after you take one listen to them, you will know these four young artists mean business with their rock. They have a great rock metal sound that blends everything from AC/DC to Skid Row to Bon Jovi to Iron Maiden.

Motorhead release “Aftershock” Today!

October 22, 2013

Today is the day for the new release, “Aftershock” by Motörhead. Talk about a band that can keep putting out incredible in your face original “heavy rocky n roll”. Here is a band that is coming up on a 40 year history and is still rockin like the first years. Lemmy Kilmister started this band back in 1975 and over they years they have had lineup changes with guitar and drums but Lemmy has KICKED ASS throughout. So make sure to head over to your local music store or Itunes and pick up your copy! Some of my absolute favorites are Heartbreaker, Lost Woman Blues, Dust and Glass, Silence When You Speak To Me, and Paralyzed. It is hard because there are a lot to choose from. Lost Woman Blues really brings out a fantastic blues vibe and highlights Lemmy’s vocals. Phillip’s guitar work takes a hold of me and I am in another dimension, I love it! “Queen of the Damned” is another ferocious track that brings the intensity from the first note to [Read More]

Get Ready, Simon Cruz and Terror Launch new clothing line!

October 21, 2013

One of my favorite singers is teaming up to launch a new clothing line and it is going be just as WILD as he is!!!! Simon Cruz of Crashdiet and Terror have released a teaser video to announce their launch of their upcoming clothing line. You can check it out here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAqZZmDVDhM&feature=youtu.be] I love this teaser video, especially the part when Simon and Terror are huddled in the attic sewing the clothes. It completely reminds me of my son Rockin Ryan when he is doing his custom threads. Obviously it will be an amazing line because if you have seen the clothing that Simon wears on and off stage he has some bitchin style! We had the opportunity to catch Crashdiet as they played at the DNA Lounge earlier this year. They put on the best live show and truly just bleed energy! You can check out a video from that night as well as several photos from Rockin Ryan.
