March 18, 2016

The Local Band is a great supergroup of rockers featuring Alexi Laiho 0f Children Of Bodom, Jussi69 of The 69Eyes, Olli Herman of Reckless Love and Archie Cruz of Santa Cruz. What started as a group of friends having drinks in Los Angeles at Christmas time in 2013, soon flourished into a high demand rock band. As the story goes: It was a warm dark night before Christmas in Los Angeles in 2013. Jussi 69 (The 69 Eyes) and Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom) met in Hollywood, had a couple of drinks and… Alexi: “Dude, we gotta get together, play some Poison, Mötley and drink some Jack.” Jussi: “Ok, when?” Alexi: “Christmas.” Jussi: “Cool.” They shook hands and swore that they really were going to make this happen. The key word and the whole idea behind The Local Band would be to have FUN. No stress, no pressure, and definitely no business plans. Right after Jussi and Alexi decided to do this, it was obvious they would need a charismatic singer, one who could handle all the classic hard [Read More]

Candlebox releases new song ahead of their headlining Spring tour

March 16, 2016

The multi-platinum rockers Candlebox have just released a new song, I’ve Got a Gun which is off their highly anticipated album, Disappearing in Airports, set for an April 22nd release. Vocalist Kevin Martin explains, “‘I’ve Got a Gun’ is inspired by the constant small-mindedness of people who think you’re trying to take their guns away from them. If you know anything about me as a person, you know that I’m highly political; you know that I’m a firm believer in people’s rights 100% and I don’t believe that anyone should take your guns from you. I’m saying is, gun control is an issue and these mass shootings need to stop and that’s the approach of the song.” Check out the new song here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/247244884″ params=”auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /] You can pre-order the album and pick up a couple of the tracks instantly by heading over to iTunes here.
