The Paranoyds hit San Francisco for 2 nights with The Voidz

June 18, 2023

This past week was crazy in San Francisco! The Voidz played 4 SOLD OUT nights at the Great American Music Hall and The Paranoyds were there opening for two nights. They were so incredible. They really got the crowd ready for a kick ass night of music. We were instantly hooked. Check out some photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: About the band: With a bond that began in preschool, Laila Hashemi (keys/vocals) and Lexi Funston (guitar/vocals) were always inseparable, so when they met Staz Lindes (bass/vocals) in ninth grade, it felt like they had known her all along. After all, they were a “package deal.” In high school, they began making music together in a friend’s laundry room and their relationship just blossomed from there. When it came time to add in a drummer, David Ruiz, who joined the band in 2015, fit in like he had been there all along. It’s that special bond that has solidified their relationship as bandmates who connect seamlessly to one another’s energy on [Read More]

Asking Alexandria release first single “Psycho” off upcoming album

June 16, 2023

I can still remember the first time seeing Asking Alexandria perform live. We had been following them for a while and couldn’t wait for them to play in the Bay Area in San Jose, CA in December 2011 on the tour with Avenged Sevenfold. We have loved seeing this band evolve and their music hit new levels with each album. Well they are set to release their eighth full-length studio album WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? this fall via Better Noise Music. The music scene has never felt so alive! They have recently released their latest single, Psycho and you are going to love it. Ben Bruce comments on the song, ‘Psycho’ is one of those songs that is talking about when you feel trapped inside your own head, trapped by your own vices and your own downfalls. Whether it’s being stuck in a relationship that doesn’t work for you, or feeling like you can’t stop drinking or doing drugs, or maybe you’re stuck in a job that you hate, and you’re [Read More]

Click here to stream + order the record now. About the album On Free Rein to Passions, the band followed their instincts down to the note to produce their most authentic work to date. The Nil‘s back-to-basics approach was a direct reaction to their previous record, 2021’s Fuck Art, a creative process that brought too many industry people whispering in the band’s ears, telling them how to polish and tweak their songs to fit on the radio or streaming playlists or whatever other arbitrary whims the modern music machine demands. “There were all these expectations and pressures, people telling us to try this or that,” says Bentham. “We’re by no means the biggest band in the world, but in [Read More]
