Bad ass blues rockers DELTA ROSE kill it at The Troubadour

May 12, 2014

We have been featuring the bands from Saturday night at the Troubadour which was the CD release show of Diamond Lane. Make sure to ready our features on all the bands; The Book of Curtis, Bad Romantics, Love and a .38, and Diamond Lane. Now we are ready to share with you our feature of Delta Rose. Delta Rose had the last spot of the night for the record release party of Diamond Lane but that didn’t stop them from coming out and delivering a smokin set of rock and roll infused with blues and a groove that gets into your soul! With there being a late start, Delta Rose played a shorter set which left me wanting so much more as they did a kick ass set! One thing is for sure, this band is one of the best live bands out there. They are such a young band but have showmanship that is well beyond their years. While many young bands are out there creating music that sounds as if it is a carbon copy of eachother, [Read More]

Love Crushed Velvet from New York City have released their new video for their song, “Bye, Bye, Baby”. The track was originally released on Love Crushed Velvet’s compelling new EP Delusions in September, mixed by Mark Needham (Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, The Killers). The song is awesome and I love the sultry emotionally driven vocals in this melodic rock track.

First, we have to tell you that we are loving the video for Bye, Bye Baby. That song is really one of my favorites off Delusions, can you tell me a little bit more about that song? Love Crused Velvet: “Bye Bye, Baby” is about how challenging it can be to process the end of a relationship because things sometimes spiral downwards so quickly. Much of one’s perception about the other person is formed during the “honeymoon” period when everything [Read More]

Love Crushed Velvet release new video for their song “Bye, Bye, Baby”

April 3, 2014

Love Crushed Velvet from New York City have released their new video for their song, “Bye, Bye, Baby”. The track was originally released on Love Crushed Velvet’s compelling new EP Delusions in September, mixed by Mark Needham (Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, The Killers). Lead singer/songwriterA.L.X. explains more about the song, “After having spent time getting close to someone and developing a deep bond with them, it can feel very confusing when things start to fall apart. It makes you question whether you every really knew the person at all, or whether they just showed you one side of themselves. The reality, of course, is that there are usually underlying issues or conflicts that we often don’t take properly into account early on in the relationship, and we later pay a steep emotional price for this when that reality comes back to bite us.” Check out the video here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miq3K5Ok6Z0&feature=youtu.be] That song is so awesome. I love the sultry emotionally driven vocals in this melodic rock track. This is the second single off of Delusions which really captures a dark melodic rock [Read More]
