Red Sun Rising serves up a hefty dose of rock with their new video for Emotionless

February 19, 2016

Red Sun Rising out of Akron, Ohio have been capturing everyone’s attention with their infectious straight up rock that brings hints of classic, grunge and timeless rock and roll! They are back at it with a new video for their song, Emotionless. Guitarist Mike Protich comments about Emotionless: “Emotionless is unique because it came to me in a dream. The visual was vivid and haunting enough that describing it yielded song lyrics. It’s sometimes hard to understand something from the subconscious so our only hope was to create a song. With the help of Director Dylan Marko Bell, we finally brought everything to life… or lack thereof.” Check out the new video here:   They were one of our highlights at last year’s Aftershock Festival as they really brought the energy to the stage. The crowd was rockin out and loving every minute of it. We had a chance to chat with a couple of the guys after their set and if you missed it, you can check that out here: If you don’t already [Read More]

Concert Review by Alex Bock of The Winery Dogs / Inglorious in Munich

February 18, 2016

  Munich, Feb. 15th, 2016, Backstage So Munich was in for a special treat last Monday. The Winery Dogs made a stop in Munich on their, so far pretty successful, world tour. The venue was packed and sold out, even a barrier was installed, which isn’t the ordinary for that venue. Not that it would’ve been needed to hold back the audience, because they behaved quite well. But it was a plus for the photographers (which includes myself). Opener on this tour was Inglorious. They are a hard rock band from the UK. Influences include the classic rock bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and Aerosmith. Definitely a band you should look into when you’re a fan of the ‘classic’ hard rock genre. Even though the audience didn’t really move that much (that’s honestly no bands fault, that’s a town specific thing), it was fun to watch them play. You could occasionally see people moving their heads slightly, tapping their feet and sometimes cheering.  However, the band played a solid set. So for all [Read More]

The Ivins shine in the spotlight with their new video for Stockholm Syndrome

February 17, 2016

Get ready to catch alternative rockers The Ivins in the spotlight with their new video. The Ivins features brothers Jack and Jim Ivins from Richmond, VA. They have just released a music video for their infectious new track Stockholm Syndrome. It is great to see a band put so much energy and attention in to their music and the passion these guys carry shines through with their sound. We applaud them for bringing us something new in this usually over-saturated market.  Jim told us a bit more about the new track, “As for the inspiration behind it, Jack and I both know how ADD the 2016 music listener is and know that immediacy is the name of the game so we wanted a song that just blasts off right from the top to get your attention. In a larger musical sense, however, the inspiration came from our quest as real musicians/songwriters playing in a genre that is completely in the outs with mainstream culture: How do you recontextualize something unpopular and present it to someone in a way that makes them compelled [Read More]

Can’t get enough of The Virginmarys and their new song, Motherless Land

February 16, 2016

  We are only weeks away from the return of The Virginmarys as they are set to tour with Shinedown in March 2016!  I have been hooked on them from the first time I heard them several years ago. They have such a vibrant punk edge rock sound that will have you begging for more. They are set to release their new album, Divides on May 6th. You can check out their new song, Motherless Land. The describe the song as “It’s a song about escape and it’s full of questions of what we’re collectively doing in 2016. It’s about striving for peace, love and truth.”   The Virginmarys are an incredible live band and sound just as awesome as their recordings. Ally Dickaty on vocals/guitar is fierce as he bounces around and fills the room with emotionally driven lyrics. Matt Rose on bass is a wild man, and you can feel the adrenaline that is powering him. Danny Dolan on drums is always throwing out some cheeky drum fills as he maintains a 150% energy overload.
