Noise Pop brings Cherry Glazerr and Wombo to San Francisco

March 4, 2024

February 29th was a special day. No, not that it is leap year! It was the night that Cherry Glazerr returned to San Francisco.  Noise Pop brought us a great show Thursday  night at August Hall.  The sold out show kicked off with an impressive set from Wombo and got the crowd riled up. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: The crowd kept up on coming in and packed the house as Cherry Glazerr hit the stage. The intensity was infectious as the band gave 150% to their fans.  There was a mighty mosh pit in the front that couldn’t help themselves as the music was just so damn inviting! The great thing about the Noise Pop festivals is that they bring a wide audience ranging in age from teens to seasoned fans.  One thing was certain everyone in August Hall was having the time of their life. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan: You can catch Cherry Glazerr out on tour. They have also just announced [Read More]

Photo gallery: Novelists, The Word Alive, Elwood Stray and Ashen in Munich

March 3, 2024

Last week quite an international line-up came to Munich. We had two bands from France – Novelists and Ashen, one from Germany – Elwood Stray, and The Word Alive from the US on stage at the Backstage Halle. The show had an early start at 7 pm and ended at about 10.20 pm, which is perfectly ok, since it was Monday which might not be the most popular day for a line-up of 4 bands. Nevertheless, all four bands played great sets. Enjoy the pictures and see for yourself. Ashen Ashen have no new tours announced so far, just some single dates. Make sure to check out their social media for updates. Elwood Stray Elwood Stray do have some festival participations announced. Keep yourself updated via their social media/homepage.

Kill The Lights – new record is less than a week away

March 3, 2024

Kill The Lights, which features former members of Bullet for My Valentine, Throw the Fight, Threat Signal, and Still Remains, have announced their sophomore album “Death Melodies” about a month ago. It will be released this Friday, March 8 via Fearless Records. To celebrate the exciting news, the band has also shared the video for “From Ashes” back then. With its classic, ’80s semi-ballad songcraft twinned with modern sounds, “From Ashes” is a new anthem that should accompany all your rigorous activity. Going to the gym? Then put “From Ashes” at the top of your playlist, as it will get the blood and adrenaline pumping through those veins. “‘From Ashes’ lyrically discusses having to live with the pain of knowing that you let your loved ones down”, the band offers. Certain bonds cross any and all borders and boundaries. Kill The Lights harbor this kind of connection between them. Even though you’ve got Michael “Moose” Thomas [drums] and Jason “Jay” James [bass] in Bridgend, Wales, James Clark [vocals] in Minneapolis, MN, Jordan Whelan [guitar] in [Read More]

Last week we had the incredible pleasure of welcoming back a regular in our beautiful town – Lionheart. They made a stop in Munich on their 10-year- anniversary tour for their killer album “Welcome To The West Coast”. It’s almost traditional that they play at the Backstage Werk and also that the show is sold out. Same thing this time. It was an amazing package that night and people had lots of fun, including a wall of death solely for the ladies and a guy in a wheelchair crowd surfing. So no dull moments ….. enjoy the pictures.

METALCORE DROPOUT’S TOUR Coheadline with FIT FOR A KING & THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA

February 15, 2024

  The 49ers were playing in the Superbowl and we didn’t know what to expect at the Metalcore Dropout’s Tour as they were playing on Superbowl Sunday in San Francisco. The Tour featured coheadline with Fit for a King and The Devil Wears Prada, along with openers Counterparts and Avoid.  Well no worries because the place was packed as concertgoers were checking their phone’s before the first band hit the stage.  The energy was intense as the 49ers teetered on a win as Avoid hit the stage. But as the show started all eyes were on the band. Then as the 49ers loss was announced, the crowd knew what to do as they let out their rage and anger with the fiercest mosh pit! Next up was the Canadian hardcore band Counterparts. We saw them a decade ago and they were every bit as energetic, if not more. They killed it and held us captive from start to finish. The crowd was wild as the co-headliner The Devil Wears Prada hit the stage.  For a [Read More]
