Another awesome rock band from Sweden…. say hello to Laney’s Legion

August 1, 2014

Sweden has just been my Go To country for awesome rock n roll for a while now. It seems that every time I turn around another great rock band from Sweden is popping up. What is really great is that each band are unique in their own way and equally deserving of our attention. Today, I want to introduce you to Laney’s Legion from Stockholm. Their self titled debut album was released in April of this year. Their first single Taste of Your Tongue absolutely rocked me the first time I heard it. Then they followed it up with their second single, Poptastic and then I knew they had more rockin tunes that I needed to check out. The catchy song brought out a great blend of punk rock angst with a Motley Crue 80s vibe. It has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it! It has a very catchy sing along chorus, sweet guitar solo and vocals that will have you thinking you were transported to a Sunset Strip nightclub [Read More]

Long time rockers, TESLA debut video for their new song, So Divine

June 17, 2014

One of my long time favorite rock band from Sacramento, TESLA released their new album, just in time for this summer. TESLA locked themselves away for weeks writing the new album and came up with fourteen solid tracks which will be SIMPLICITY. The album was recorded at their bassist Brian Wheat’s very own J Street Recorders. Legendary engineer Michael Wagener (Metallica, Skid Row, Motley Crue) was then tapped to put the final touches in place. The album was released last week via Tesla Electric Company Recording’s arrangement with Entertainment One Music and Distribution. It is so exciting to hear that new music is only a couple months away. TESLA has been one of my favorite rock bands since forming in 1981. I have probably enjoyed their shows about a couple dozens time over the years and each time, I leave with an even higher appreciation for them! TESLA is Frank Hannon, Brian Wheat, Jeff Keith, Troy Luccketta and Dave Rude. TESLA has released the video for their new song, So Devine today and it is AWESOME!!! Check it out here: [Read More]
