SOiL’s new album, WHOLE is a hard rock gem!

September 9, 2013

SOiL has recently released their sixth studio album, “Whole” and also marks the return of the band’s original singer, Ryan McCombs who sang with Drowning Pool for 5 years. It is amazing when you check out this latest album. It has all the energy and intensity which is is the reason I first fell in love with SOiL many years ago! You can pick up your copy here. The album starts right off with hard rock edgy guitars in Loaded Gun and the adrenaline filled rock continues through each song. I love the bad ass bass lines in “Ugly” and you really appreciate the return of Ryan’s vocals in “Way Gone“. Another amazing song is “Shine On” which is dedicated to the SOiL fans for standing by the band throughout the years. They currently have a video out for their single, “Shine On” and you can check it out here: The album continues on with the intensity and delivering their classic original SOiL sounds as in Wake Up and Amagalmation. SOiL is definitely WHOLE again as you can [Read More]

Lzzy Hale and Tom Keifer perform “Nobody’s Fool”

September 7, 2013

Growing up in the 70’s/80’s, I listened to a LOT of ROCK n ROLL. One of my favorite bands from the 80’s was the Philadelphia based blues rock band CINDERELLA. I went to many of their concerts to just to hear the raspy, distinctive gritty voice of Tom Keifer. His vocals were incredible and always drew me to their music. Tom had suffered some nodules on his vocal chords and at one time, left him unsure if we was going to ever be able to sing again. Tom has succeeded in treating his issues with his vocal chords and continues to amaze us with his powerful and amazing voice. Earlier this year, Tom released his solo record, The Way Life Goes on Merovee Records (through WMG ILG) and went out on the first part of his tour in support of the album. Tom has two singles out from this spectacular album, Solid Ground and The Flower Song. We recently brought you our interview with Tom Keifer here where you can find out more about Tom and [Read More]

This is their first music video from their debut album, “Goliath” and was directed by Daniel Gomez (EYES SET TO KILL, BUCKCHERRY).

Interview with Robb Rivera of Nonpoint & Tour Updates!

September 3, 2013

Nonpoint delivers a shot of adrenaline with every song off of their self-titled ninth studio album. If you have been a long time fan of Nonpoint, then you know that this album captures their high energy charisma that exudes from their music. Even though the album was released late 2012, it has been having quite a successful run with the singles off it. The first single “Left for You” had everyone take notice of this album. They had some lineup changes and in 2011 it was like the rebirth of Nonpoint. You really could feel the energetic synergy that these guys were creating and couldn’t help be drawn to their music. You can pick up your copy at your local music store, Best Buy or head over to Itunes for download. Nonpoint has been touring quite extensively every since the release of the album and have a grueling schedule that has had them on tour across the country.
