February 3, 2015

We are all adjusting to our NAMMover, where we all wish we were back in Anaheim checking out all the amazing products and enjoying all the best concerts. One of the highlights from our NAMM trip was catching Escape the Fate perform at the Schecter NAMM AfterParty on Saturday night. It seemed to be the place to be as we saw so many familiar faces at the venue!  Earlier in the day, we caught up with Craig Mabbitt and Alex Torres for a quick chat. Check it out here: Later that night Escape the Fate hit the stage at The Grove in Anaheim and tore it up with a fierce set. It was a great show. Check out photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set: Need more to feed your addiction of Escape the Fate, can check out our coverage on their set last year at the Aftershock Festival where they blazed in the 109 degree heat and kicked ass!

Aftershock Festival

Check out our coverage of Escape the Fate at Aftershock Festival

September 26, 2014

One band we wanted to make sure to see at Aftershock Festival was none other than Escape the Fate. They have been longtime favorites of ours and to see them perform at this year’s Aftershock was a true highlight. They conquered the 100+ temps and delivered the fans a powerful energetic set. They came right out and started off with my favorite track, You’re Insane. The crowd went wild and if you didn’t think they could get any louder, they did. Everyone was moving around and singing along when they played another favorite, Gorgeous Nightmare. Check out photos from the set by our Rockin Ryan here:   The setlist included the following: You’re Insane Gorgeous Nightmare One For The Money Ungrateful Issues The Aftermath (G3) Escape the Fate will be heading out on tour in Europe with Glamour of the Kill and New Years Day.

Make sure to pick up the new album, Shapeshifter by The Dead Rabbitts

June 30, 2014

The highly anticipated release of the new album, Shapeshifter by The Dead Rabbitts is set for tomorrow July 1st through Tragic Hero Records.  This is one album, you are going to want to pick up.  We were excited to catch them as they made their stop in San Francisco last week for the Shapeshift Tour! They treated us to several of their new songs which were just awesome. The album starts right off with the heavy and crowd favorite My Only Regret. I love it’s cinematic style intro and then transitions into a fierce heavy dose of vocals and then right into a catchy chorus. Nothing But a Reject is a bad ass track complete with emotionally driven lyrics and one of the highlights is the ethereal choir style harmony. Craig’s vocals are so versatile and he captivates you with his powerful voice. Another great song is  Makes Me Believe it which features Caleb Shomo. The album is filled with savage doses of metalcore  as in Shapeshifter or Bats in the Belfry complete with infectious melodies, fierce [Read More]

The Dead Rabbitts bring to life the DNA Lounge on their Shapeshifter Tour

June 25, 2014

The Dead Rabbitts made their stop in San Francisco last night for the Shapeshift Tour! We were glad to make it to the DNA Lounge after a relentless 2 and a half hour traffic stop ride from Santa Rosa. As soon as the music hit, all our troubles went away and we were instantly in a good mood. The night started off with great sets by NightMares, Myka Relocate and The Relapse Symphony. Make sure to stay tuned for our individual band coverage coming on each of them. Then the time came for us to receive a savage dose of metalcore complete with infectious melodies, fierce hooks and always a catch chorus. The Dead Rabbitts hit the stage.  What is really special about their music is, that it can’t be described as simply “metalcore” because The Dead Rabbitts have brought much more depth and layers to their music. Whether it be violins, keyboards, symphonic element, they are bringing a much needed facelift to metalcore. The charismatic personality of Craig Mabbitt truly shines through his music and [Read More]
