Check out The Mighty Swine and their new video for Last Man Standing

April 29, 2014

The Mighty Swine is a progressive melodic metal band that I hope you are already familiar with. If not, please allow me to introduce you to your new favorite metal band.  The Mighty Swine from Cincinnati, Ohio deliver metal the way it is meant to be, full on shredding guitars, fierce bass lines, heavy hitting drums and powerful vocals on lyrical hooks that feed your need for good music! The Mighty Swine features Cincinnati legend, Mike Skimmerhorn (CHASTAIN/CJSS) on Vocals / Bass, Stacey Donahue and Jeff Tong on Guitar, and Rory Faciane on Drums. They have just released their video for their new song, Last Man Standing.  The video was shot and directed by Nikk Hearn-Sutton (RUSH – Time Machine DVD) Last Man Standing is a politically charged modern social commentary on the ever increasing police state tactics used by the American Government against it’s own people ala: the Clive Bundy standoff. A radical change from the party hard content of previous releases, The Mighty Swine are a different animal on this release.  Check out the video here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=youtu.be/n66n0V3sysQ&feature=youtu.be]   The song is the [Read More]

April 29, 2014

Earlier this year, I told you about one of my favorite releases this year, a solo project by Matt Sorum. Matt Sorum‘s Fierce Joy released his new album, Stratosphere on March 11th and it is a truly amazing work of art. Many know Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Matt Sorum for his role as legendary drummer of  Guns n’ Roses, The Cult, and  Velvet Revolver but now through his new album, Matt sheds a new light on his musical talents and once again has you in appreciation and awe. Matt wrote the entire album and plays the piano, acoustic guitar and lead vocals. He even chose to record it on a front end analog, Trident console. Once you take a first listen, you will be shaking your head ind wonder about why we haven’t been treated to the sweet sound of Matt‘s voice sooner. Matt recently released a video for the first single off the album, The Sea. You can check it out here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=youtu.be/AjnoOuJgLrw&feature=youtu.be] Matt‘s vocals take you on an emotional journey an his voice brings out such warmth to feed [Read More]
