May 8, 2014

Summertime for me in the ’80s was filled with days spent at the beach, hanging with friends and listening to great rock and roll. My car was filled with Styx and Foreigner cassettes as they were the playlists of fun summer times.  Well they are back to bring that feel good summer music to an arena near you. Styx, Foreigner and their very special guest Don Felder (former Eagles guitarist/songwriter) are setting out on the Soundtrack of Summer 2014 Tour.

Seventh Son delivering non-stop ROCK for over 30 years…. and still counting…

August 26, 2013

With over 30 years of history, Seventh Son is one band that you will never get tired of hearing. Formed in 1980 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England and performed their first gig at a “Speakeasy” in Wakefield.  Since then, they  have been delivering kick ass classic rock with a blend of heavy metal undertones. They recently went down in history as they were dubbed one of Barnsley’s oldest established bands. Well, if you have not heard of Seventh Son, first: shame on you!!!, second: let me open your ears to excellent polished rock that will kick your ass! Their music has everything rock, catch chorus, powerful vocals, great guitar riffs, from anthemic rock songs to stadium love ballads. Check out their video which celebrates 30 Years of Vinyl: We had the opportunity to interview Seventh Son and we are pleased to share it with you: * * * * * * * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: Thank you Seventh Son for talking with us here at Music Junkie Press!  Can you [Read More]

Top Twenty Music Videos from 1982

August 1, 2013

1982… For me… what a year… Freshman/Sophmore year at the all girls Catholic School Notre Dame in Belmont, California. I begged to go to the local public school after going to private uniform schools for the past 8 years but no luck…. So the best part is I remember we had MTV. We had just got it and I was glued to it the fist couple weekends that we had it. I remember we were vacationing at the house we rented every summer in Lake Tahoe and we got up there and they had the MTV channel. My whole world changed!! It happened to be the weekend where they spent most of it broadcasting Todd Rundgren Utopia concert but I got enough music videos to beg my Father to get it for us when we got back. Upon returning, our area was the new recipients of MTV and it gave me all the entertainment that I needed.  So here is my Top Twenty Music Videos from 1982. 20. Eye of the Tiger – Survivor 19.
