REVIEW: James Bay shines in the spotlight with his new album Electric Light

May 18, 2018

It is here! The new album Electric Light from James Bay is out now and it is a MUST-HAVE! We have already been spoiled with the first couple singles, Pink Lemonade and Us. We also got to enjoy James perform several of his new songs this past weekend at the ALT 105.3 BFD Festival on Sunday. The crowd went wild for his new songs and had everyone in anticipation of the release. Check out photos by our Rockin Ryan: Well, the album is out and it definitely was worth the wait. The album kicks off with an Intro that takes you into the infectious guitar riffs of Wasted On Each Other. The song has a sultry funk vibe that grabs a hold of you and won’t let you go. The fun summer track Pink Lemonade had us hooked from the first time we heard it. The song carries a true nostalgic vibe and reminds me of long summer drives with the top down as my free spirit travels the long road. James’ vocals bleed with [Read More]

April 3, 2018

THE THE announce dates for a North American tour this September. The intriguing and influential band from England will be returning to the stage playing their classics and fan favorites from albums released from 1980’s to 2000. Check out the news below: Helmed by singer and songwriter Matt Johnson, THE THE have announced their first live shows in 16 years. The post-punk iconoclasts will first tour the UK and Europestarting in late May, with many shows already sold out including London’s Royal Albert Hall and Brixton Academy, before launching their North American tour in September. Tickets for the North American tour go on sale Friday, April 6 at 12 noon local time. *Read an interview with Johnson below. As a singer and songwriter, Johnson has been silent for many years, with the last THE THE album, 2000’s NakedSelf, capping off a remarkable run of records–from his solo debut Burning Blue Soul (1981), through THE THE’s Soul Mining (1983), Infected (1986), Mind Bomb (1989) and Dusk (1993)–which earned him an enduring reputation as a brave and uncompromising artist dealing with both the dark matters of the heart and prescient sociopolitical commentary. In 2017, THE THE released a new single, “We Can’t Stop What’s Coming,” as part of 2017’s Record [Read More]

Legendary Rockers AUTOGRAPH signs to EMP Label Group as they announce new album release

August 3, 2017

One of my favorite long time rockers Autograph have announced their signing to EMP Label Group. With the signing, comes the announcement that they will be releasing their new album GET OFF YOUR ASS on October 6th on CD and Digital, with a limited edition vinyl LP version available in November. Check out the news below: GET OFF YOUR ASS is the first official studio LP from the revamped quartet, featuring original/founding members guitarist Steve Lynch and bassist Randy Rand, alongside new vocalist/rhythm guitarist Simon Daniels, and drummer Marc Wieland. Lynch, an iconic guitarist, revered Worldwide as a bona fide guitar hero (known for his signature 8 finger hammer-on technique), reactivated the band in 2013 with bassist Randy Rand after reconnecting at the NAMM Show. After approaching original vocalist Steve Plunkett, who was unavailable for the reunion due to other business interests, with his blessing, the newly resurrected AUTOGRAPH recruited former JAILHOUSE vocalist Simon Daniels, the rest, as they say, is history. GET OFF YOUR ASS features an updated, hard-edged (and keyboard free) sound for the band, featuring down-tuned guitars, and the fiery, blues-soaked delivery of Daniels, [Read More]
