Day 4 of 12 Days of Vocalists is for Danny Worsnop

December 18, 2014

Here we are on Day 4 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and for this day, we highlight a very special vocalist, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, We Are Harlot and solo artist. Danny is one of those of talented artists who can tackle any style of music and completely give it his own signature style. He kicks ass with Asking Alexandria where he can deliver some of the best growls and screams in the industry and then completely rocks when he sings for We Are Harlot. With his solo work, you wouldn’t even believe it is the same person as he takes you through emotionally driven songs with passionate vocals. I don’t think there is anything this man can’t sing and make it sound great. His powerful vocals have been in high demand as he continues to be featured on many bands’ songs. His versatility can have him singing country one day, emotional ballads, hitting some of the highest notes and he can transition right into the deep dark growls and screams. Amazing work!

Don’t miss The Family Ruin out on the Moving On Tour

December 1, 2014

We brought you our coverage of Asking Alexandria as they made a stop in San Francisco for The Moving On Tour. Now, we can’t wait to tell you about the opening band out on the tour, The Family Ruin. We have been featuring this amazing rock band from the UK all year long. We brought you our review of their kick ass album, Dearly Departed which was released in September and we couldn’t wait to finally catch them perform live. One thing is for sure, they delivered an amazing kick ass set at the Regency Ballroom. I love it when a band that I really enjoy listening to can match the same intensity of their music as they do live on stage. This is one band that definitely has no problem conquering that battle. They blew me away and had me eagerly wanting to see them again soon! Check out more photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: From the moment they hit the stage and until they walked off to greet fans at their merch [Read More]

Asking Alexandria deliver a fierce set for the Moving On Tour

December 1, 2014

Last night was a rainy one in San Francisco but inside the Regency Ballroom you found a crowd of even more soaked fans. These fans were drenched in sweat as they had spent the night moshing, crowd surfing and just releasing every ounce of energy. Asking Alexandria was just as fierce on the stage, reciprocating with their own adrenaline filled set that left everyone Breathless! What a fantastic night. As you know, Asking Alexandria are one of our favorite bands and when they perform live, it is as you have been shocked by a defibrillator. You receive the right amount of electric dose of energy to bring you back to life. The 14 song setlist included songs from all their albums and the crowd went wild for each and every song, whether they were singing along to Moving On, fist pounding to Not The American Average, or intensely moshing to The Prophecy or To The Stage. What I love about this band, is that each and every one of them has insurmountable stage presence that combined [Read More]

Munich Concert review – Asking Alexandria w. Secrets, Crown The Empire and The Ghost Inside

October 20, 2014

Concert review – Asking Alexandria w. Secrets, Crown The Empire and The Ghost Inside, Contributed by Alexandra Munich, Tonhalle, October 17th, 2014 Shortly before doors opened at 6pm there was already a long queue around the corner that soon started moving. The show was sold out, so some people were on the lookout for tickets without any luck though it seems. The first band, Secrets, entered the stage at exactly 7pm. It was their second time in Germany. They opened up and seemed to have an immediate impact on the audience. They later sold many CD’s in the merch booth which speaks for itself. Second on were Crown The Empire. It was their first time in Germany and I’m pretty confident not their last. Their set started with the opening tunes of their latest album ‚The resistance‘. They played mostly songs from that album, like Machines, Bloodline and Initiation. For the song ‚Rise of the Runaways‘ Brian Escamilla, second man on vocals, also picked up a guitar. With three guitars on stage the sound was [Read More]
