Pre-Order the new Kyng album and catch them out on tour with Kill Devil Hill and Crobot.

March 25, 2014

Kyng is one band that from the first time I saw them in January 2013 to now, just came out strong and have not stopped since. We first saw them perform at the Dean NAMM Jam in 2013 and they were incredible. I knew right away that this power trio was going to be a band that everyone would soon be talking about. Why? Because these three guys create a powerful dose of true rock and roll. Kyng is Eddie Veliz pn Vocals/Guitar, Pepe Clarke on Drums, and Tony Castaneda on Bass/Backup Vocals. These three guys mean business when it comes to delivering a kick ass rock concert. Even Eddie Trunk of That Metal Show mentioned Kyng as a band to check out that he loves during our recent interview here. They have a sound that might have you reminiscent of early Soundgarden or the classic Led Zeppelin and even take it heavy with hints of Black Sabbath. We just saw them for the 5th time on Sunday night at the Ace of Spades [Read More]

CROBOT announces new tour dates with Kyng and Kill Devil Hill

March 25, 2014

– TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT – We just got the news that one of our FAVORITE BAD ASS BANDS… CROBOT is heading out on tour at the end of April with two more of our favorite bands; Kyng and Kill Devil Hill. We just saw Kyng on Sunday night when they performed with Lacuna Coil in Sacramento. I believe that was the 5th time I have seen Kyng and they are just awesome. Just last week, we brought you our interview with Crobot as we met up with them prior to their set at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Unbelievable set! Crobot is a four piece band from Pennsylvania that have a Dirty Groove Rock sound. They are like no other band out there today. Crobot is bringing the life back into classic rock/ stoner rock with a double dose of groove in a modern style. Think like Zep ala Soundgarden with a side of Wolfmother. They have such a killer sound that is groove heavy, riff rock or as they say: “Bang your head [Read More]

The Wonder Years premier new video for Dismantling Summer

March 25, 2014

Pop Punk sensation, The Wonder Years are in the midst of their shows for their headlining tour, “The Greatest Generation Tour”. They have been having great success with the tour and shows are selling out. They just released a music video for Dismantling Summer which is off of their latest album, The Greatest Generation. The video was directed by Drew Russ and shot in the band’s hometown of Philadelphia, PA. “We knew that for a song so personal, a literal re-telling for the video would be unwelcome and painful.” Says lead vocalist Dan “Soupy” Campbell. “Drew, the director took the core nerve of the song, the idea of being away when it matters most, and spun it into an absurdist piece of dark comedy during which my family found themselves fed up with my perpetual absence and replaced me with a mannequin, leaving me in the literal cold.” Check out the video here: You can catch The Wonder Years out on their headlining tour with support from Fireworks, Real Friends, Citizen and Modern Baseball.
