Halestorm release new video for “Here’s To Us”

August 6, 2013

Halestorm has finally released the long awaited video for “Here’s to Us“. We had been hearing about the release for a couple weeks now but I guess they wanted to keep our anticipation growing. Check out the video which is for their song, “Here’s to Us” which was released last spring on the band’s second album, “The Strange Case of…” Lzzy Hale explained more about the song to Rolling Stone magazine: “We wrote this song literally as our personal anthem. We’ve been through a lot together as a band, and we’ve learned to celebrate the low times as well as the highs. It’s about toughin’ out and respecting the journey for us, and that’s how we have kept it together as a foursome for 10 years! Here’s to us!” I swear when I see the thumbnail for the video I can’t help but think that Lzzy Hale reminds me of Tony Montana’s sister from Scarfare! Also make sure to check out the upcoming tour dates for Halestorm. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: www.HalestormRocks.com [Read More]

Songs, of course, followed, and molded into an overall feel, concept, and now a full-length album. ‘Blood Host’ has it all: hypnotic riffs, soaring choruses, pummeling breakdowns, and the lyrics are infectious in every [Read More]

Carlos Cruz, drummer explained more about the recording process, “Musically, all five of us brought something for the rest of the group to work off of and we were all a part of chiseling away at the ideas”.

Tom Keifer is on Solid Ground with his new album, The Way Life Goes

July 30, 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 are excited to bring you our interview with Tom Keifer. * * * * * * * [Read More]

Most anticipated CD Release, Sway by Blue October

July 25, 2013

With less than a month away, I am having a hard time containing my excitement for what is my most anticipated album release. Their seventh studio album “Sway” by Blue October is set to release on August 20th and it is definitely one I have been anxiously waiting for. I have been a long time lover of Blue October and their emotionally driven music that truly has a life of its own. Their music has been there for me in my darkest times as well as my most celebrated moments. They are like that true friend that is always there for you; whether it is to ride out the storms or admire the beauty of the rainbows. You can’t call us fans of their music, because once you fall in love with their music, you become a family. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard from people about how Blue October changed their lives, helped them through their deepest struggles, kept them going and inspired them to be a better person.
