STICKMIKE delivers old school punk rock!

July 24, 2013

Sometimes you just need more punk rock in  your life…. Right now is that time for me. I got a quick listen to a band from Australia that I just fell in love with! Let me introduce you to Stickmike and get ready to jump and shout! You definitely can’t call them a new band since they have been around since 2004 and giving the Down Under their punk rock. These four guys; Neil Dick on Lead Guitar, Todd Stephenson on Bass and Vocals, Joey Pangilinan on Drums and Scott Stephenson on Vocals and Rhythm Guitar are from Sydney and named their band after taping some hockey sticks together to be used as a microphone. Here is a video for one of their latest songs, ‘This One’s For You” which is off their CD titled, “Imagine if We Tried” and available on Itunes here. This song is like an anthemic energetic song reminiscent of my love for Material Issue and AM TAXI.  Take a listen and get hooked!!     These guys have put out several demos but it is [Read More]

Shinedown and the Band Meeting Gone Bad

July 18, 2012

If you are in a band you might be familiar with those band meetings that have gone wrong and how artistic differences come out and everyone is screaming to defend their own side. Well if you are not familiar with them, then Shinedown’s new video for their latest single “Enemies” gives you a glimpse in to the reality of a really bad band meeting. What is really great is that if you like Shinedown and know them well, this video is  so far from the truth. These guys are like brothers and are very close to eachother. So it is nice to see how they get to “act out” in this video and really display their personalities especially the part with Zach taking pictures on his phone and the phone breaking. Classic Zach! This is definiltey one music video that from the moment I watched it I was captivated and laughing and just purely enjoying every second of it. What a great job and one video that I can watch over and over. So if [Read More]
