April 26, 2024

Last night Black Veil Brides kicked off their Bleeders Tour in San Francisco at the legendary Fillmore.  Starting off the night was Brit rockers Creeper which have a style that blends horror punk and goth rock. Creeper instantly won the crowd as they opened their set with our favorite Cry to Heaven. They rocked the stage and gave 150% to the fans and their energy was infectious.  It was a headline worthy performance and we could only hope for a longer set. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan:   Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on the latest news.

Knocked Loose release video & single Suffocate ft. Poppy

April 25, 2024

Knocked Loose have released a new video and single, Suffocate which features Poppy.  Grammy nominated pop-meets-metal trailblazer, Poppy, who reached out to frontman and vocalist Bryan Garris to propose a team-up. “I am a huge fan of Knocked Loose and honored to be on this one,” tells Poppy. The new single has them branching out and is absolutely a great track. It carries deep and dark guitar tones and blazing with pinch harmonics and delivers a killer riff throughout the track. Poppy takes it to a whole new level with her metal screams that grab a hold of you, then takes you on a melodic journey through the bridge and leading to the breakdown.  It is fierce! Check it out here: The collaboration inspired the band to venture into uncharted realms, which finds Garris and Poppy trading verses about, as Garris puts it, “someone stabbing you in the back.” “It was so fun because her voice allowed us to expand our palette and do some weird, off-the-wall things that we maybe wouldn’t do in another song,” guitarist Isaac Hale says of the track. “We felt [Read More]

The Mission are returning to San Francisco on May 9th at Great American Music Hall

April 18, 2024

We are so excited to share that post-punk rockers The Mission are returning to San Francisco as they head out on a West Coast  Spring Tour. They will be playing at Great American Music Hall on May 9th and is sure to be a show you won’t want to miss. The show will be the last one right before they play at Pasadena’s annual Cruel World Festival which brings together an amazing lineup of bands; Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Adam Ant, Blondie, Interpol, etc. Vocalist/Guitarist Wayne Hussey comments,  “It’s a very eclectic bill… a lot of bands playing that I’d like to see,” he says. “It’s a shame we don’t generally get festival lineups like this in Europe. They tend to be more genre-specific. Hence, we usually just play goth/rock festivals which can be frustrating as I really don’t see us as exclusively fitting into any particular genre.” You can head over HERE and pick up tickets for the San Francisco show! To get you ready check out a playlist of our fave tracks: Check [Read More]
