Do you have the new album, Do You Wanna Start a War by Fozzy yet? If not, you better head over to iTunes, Amazon, or Century Media site to pick up the hard copy and some cool merch! It has been cranking up loud on my playlist for a while now. Some of my favorites on it are Lights Go Out, One Crazed Anarchist, Do You Wanna Start a War, Unstoppable and Died With You. Ok, let’s be honest, the whole damn album is my favorite!! Their song Died With You truly shows the versatility with the band and I love the edge and vulnerability it shows, yet maintains its powerful prowess. The vocals are captivating as they bring the emotionally driven lyrics to life. Check out the song here: We can’t wait for FOZZY to return to San Francisco for some shows.

Take a listen to the first single Say F*ck it off Buckcherry’s new album

August 6, 2014

Buckcherry have just a little less than two weeks away from the release of their new EP which is titled…. FUCK. FUCK is set for an August 19th release! You may be wondering about the title but there is much more to the four letter word title. “This is a tribute to the word ‘fuck’… Over the years, we’ve been told so many times to get away from the honesty that makes this band special. It’s a part of who I am. It’s not about the profanity itself; it’s about using it cleverly.” – Josh Todd posted on their Facebook page. One thing is for sure, I am really looking forward to this EP. Buckcherry have always made the music that they wanted to and have maintained to keep the honesty in their music. So I applaud them again for continuing to keep themselves grounded and making great music! Pre-orders for the new EP are available now by visiting here: iTunes Pre-Order. Are you ready for the first single? Well here it is, take a listen to [Read More]
