Over two decades, German band Caliban is now a part of the Metalcore genre. They recently released their new album “Back From Hell” via Century Media. The title track was released about three months ago, and the new songs fair well on the internet and also live, which you can possibly make out from the pictures of the show. Their European tour started shortly after the record release. I had the chance to catch them live in Munich. Touring companions were In Hearts Wake, Cabal, and Assemble The Chariots – altogether a great line-up, which kept the crowd on its heels. Enjoy the pictures!

James Bay Brings a Night of Healing and Harmony to San Francisco

May 14, 2025

James Bay returned to San Francisco for an unforgettable night at the Regency Ballroom. Opening the show was Nashville’s own Hunter Metts, who delivered a stellar set that surely earned him a wave of new fans. His performance was the perfect way to kick off the evening. When James Bay hit the stage, the energy instantly skyrocketed. He opened with “Up All Night,” igniting the crowd and setting the tone for a fantastic performance from start to finish. The setlist was a beautiful mix of brand-new songs and fan favorites, including our personal favorite—“Scars.” That song holds deep meaning for us. Back in 2017, after losing our home and business in the Tubbs Fire, we created a video to “Scars” as part of our healing journey. Hearing James perform it live brought us right back to that moment in time. But this time, it wasn’t about the tears—it was a cathartic release. We stood there with hopeful smiles, reflecting on all the scars we’ve lived through and survived. You can watch that video here. [Read More]

April 2, 2025

As we anticipate the release of Djo’s new album, The Crux, the new single Potion is out now. Djo – the musical project of actor / producer / songwriter Joe Keery known for his work in blockbuster projects as Stranger Things and Fargo – will release his highly anticipated new album The Crux this Friday, April 4th. Before the album drops, he shares one final preview of the record with ‘Potion.’ Showcasing a different side of the record to the BBC Radio 1 playlisted single ‘Basic Being Basic‘, and its Hottest Record In The World follow-up ‘Delete Ya,’ ‘Potion‘ finds Djo in Laurel Canyon. “’Potion’ is like your favorite pair of blue jeans,” says Keery. “I’d been working on Travis picking when I wrote this song, so it’s kind of like if Harry Nilsson and Lindsey Buckingham had a baby.” Keery performed the majority of the songs on the entire record himself, but on this acoustic and falsetto-led track he is particularly front and centre, tackling vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums, percussion and Mellotron. The Crux will be released [Read More]
