RUSTED is our Tuesdays Travel Pick and they are keeping the 80’s rock spirit alive!

August 27, 2013

For today’s Tuesdays Travels, I didn’t travel far to bring you some over the top Hard Rock/Glam Rock. From Montreal, Canada, I want to introduce you to RUSTED! If you thought that only 80’s bands brought you heavy guitar riffs, pounding drums, power vocals and catchy choruses, the complete rock look, you are mistaken. RUSTED has everything you want in bad ass rock and roll band and their music will have you quickly hooked. It is almost as if they were sent from a time machine from a set at the Whisky on the Sunset Strip to here today. However, they got here, I am DAMN glad they are here! Check out this video for my favorite song of theirs, Young, Wild & Free: So who is RUSTED? You have Tony Rust on Vocals, Tommy D. Eagle on Lead Guitar, Mark Shark on Bass, D. Izzy on Drums, and Maniac on Rhythm/Lead Guitar. We had the opportunity to interview singer Tony Rust and we are pleased to bring that interview to you here: * * [Read More]

August 23, 2013

When you think of Washington, DC, the first thing that may come to your mind is politics but after hearing The Relapse Symphony all that will be changed. You will be forever changed by the true rock and roll that is The Relapse Symphony! They currently have their EP, Time’s Running Out that you can get now on Itunes and other music sites. This EP delivers solid drumming by Tyler Gloyd, hooky as hell guitar by JC Charles and Alex Foxx, captivating vocals by Bret Von Dehl and slamming bass by Brandon Kile. Every song takes you on a musical journey and “Make Your Move” has one of the catchiest chorus and “The Other Side of Town” is like a fusion of Green Day and Motley Crue. I love that they put all their influences on the table and just created a work of art that defines no boundaries. They are rock and roll and they are here to stay! Check out their video for their single, “Panic” which is one of my favorites [Read More]
