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]

Asking Alexandria release music video for Moving On

August 28, 2014

Today Asking Alexandria released a music video for their song, Moving On. The song definitely highlights the versatility of the band as it brings out a stadium style rock ballad to life. It is definitely one of my favorites. Check out the video here: Asking Alexandria have been busy touring and were on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. They will continue to be busy as they will be touring in Europe for most of the fall. We are looking forward to new music and hope they announce another US tour. Earlier this year, they made a stop at The Senator Theater in Chico for the Break Down the Walls Tour. They were awesome and full of non stop energy. You can check out our full coverage here: Asking Alexandria Chico show. If you were hoping for more of their heavy music, check out this tribute video that Rockin Ryan made from footage of their past shows he covered:: I will leave you with also the slideshow of bad ass photos from Rockin Ryan of their Chico set and stay tuned [Read More]
