October 14, 2014

Concert Review Escape The Fate w. New Years Day and Glamour Of The Kill at STROM, Munich Contributed by Alexandra –  Twitter; https://twitter.com/lexi22473_b Doors opened right on time at 8.30 pm, which is unusually late for a show. The start was announced for 9.30 pm, but already at 9 pm New Years Day started playing. It was their first time in Germany, as singer Ash Costella told, but they were not completely unknown to part of the audience that sang along their songs. Next up were Glamour Of The Kill from the UK. It’s been their second time in Germany. Last time they came here, they opened up for Papa Roach. Jacoby Shaddix, the singer of Papa Roach, makes an appearance on GOTK’s new single Out of Control which they also played that night, along with well known songs like Second Chance and Freak Like Me. They had to fight with some technical difficulties during their set, but they managed to keep the crowd going, asking for someone to bring 4 Tequilas to the stage, to [Read More]

Gerard Way kicks off his tour at legendary Fillmore with a stellar performance

October 13, 2014

  Gerard Way kicked off his tour in San Francisco earlier this evening at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. The iconic venue which is covered in posters and pictures of many of the amazing artists that have graced that very stage such as Foo Fighters, Jim Morrison, Janis, Grateful Dead, Green Day, Slash, just to name a few. This night, the magic and beauty on the stage was created by none other than Gerard Way. The venue was packed and there were fans who waited in line most of the day, as they happily took their place on the barrier in front of the stage. The opening band was The Eeries whom we saw perform at Aftershock Festival. They were awesome and their sound reminded me of a blend of Nirvana and Beck. Check out some killer photos by our Rockin Ryan of their set: Next up was the headline set by Gerard and the crowd went wild in anticipation as the slightest movement on the stage would have them errupt in cheer. Several times [Read More]

Adelita’s Way dominated The Regency Ballroom with an adrenaline fueled set

October 11, 2014

We headed into San Francisco earlier this week for The Pretty Reckless show at The Regency Ballroom. It was the fourth time I have seen them in just a couple years, so what I was really looking forward to; was seeing Adelita’s Way. The first opening band, Falling Through April was great too and I hope you check out our article on them here.  I have been waiting for a while to see them return to the Bay Area and it so happens, that they were the opener for TPR. It was 5 years ago this October, where I first introduced to Adelita’s Way. They were opening for Shinedown and the second they hit the stage, I was completely floored by their killer hard rock! Well, one thing is for sure, Adelita’s Way did it again, they actually exceeded all expectations and delivered a 150% high energetic set that rocked the Regency. This is one band that is well deserving of your full and undivided attention! Vocalist, Rick DeJesus has such an impressive presence that [Read More]

Concert Review: Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour 2014 – O2 Academy Brixton, London

October 11, 2014

Concert Review – Black Veil Brides – Black Mass Tour 2014 – O2 Academy Brixton, London, Oct. 4th 2014 Contributed by Alexandra –  Twitter; https://twitter.com/lexi22473_b  Arriving at the venue, there’s already a big crowd lining up around the block. The end of the line reached the start and they asked everyone to get closer together, so there’s enough place for everyone to queue. With opening the doors at 7 pm, the crowd was off and started moving. People with O2 phones got in first and the rest followed through quickly. Inside, Drama Club already started their set. The steady beat of their tunes got the crowd going. Part of their set was a remix of Andy Black’s (Andy Biersacks moniker), “They Don’t Need To Understand“. If they didn’t have everyone on their side, now they had. Even though they don’t play a classic rock sound they fit in pretty good. Next on were UK residents Fearless Vampire Killers. They were obviously known to many people. Singers/guitarists Kier Kemp and Laurenence Beveridge switch singers position after a [Read More]

Buckcherry rocks Lancaster, Ohio contributed by Tara Williams

October 7, 2014

It seems like yesterday I was sitting in my parents house spinning my dads old vinyls. His collection was vast and allowed me to immerse myself into the heart of 1970-1980’s rock. I’ve maintained my thirst and level of excitement for that kind of organic sound. Music that seemed to be laid out raw, unedited by energetic free thinking bands. A local brand new venue hosted Buckcherry this weekend where I caught their show. A stage popped up on the outskirts of Lancaster, Ohio in between Amish country & miles of cornfields. Front man Josh Todd strutted his way to the mic and announced to the crowd that they were about to show us many new uses AND meanings for the word F#ck! Buckcherry recently released their 6 song EP F#CK (each track creatively uses the F-Bomb keeping the theme throughout). “Say F#ck It” and “Somebody F#cked With Me” were two crowd pleasers on a cold rainy night. They hit the crowd with favorites like “Lit Up” & “Crazy Bitch”. The lighters fans held up [Read More]

Ice Nine Kills release poignant and moving acoustic video for Jonathan

October 6, 2014

Ice Nine Kills have completely captured my attention tonight as I watched their newly released acoustic video for Jonathan. The traditionally melodic heavy band show their emotional soft side as they truly deliver a moving and poignant video which features Jonathan, a handsome young man who suffers from a rare mitochondrial disease. The video will surely be beneficial in raising awareness to find a cure for mitochondrial disorder which could impact cures for Autism, Parkinson’s, Alzheimers, Muscular Dystrophy. As I watch my mom suffer through her advanced stages of Parkinson’s, I can only hope to one day find a cure which will help others as they battle these diseases and ease their suffering. Check out the video here for Jonathan: Spencer explains more about the song, Jonathan, “‘Jonathan’ is probably the most important song this band has ever created. It’s written from the perspective of my good friend Jonathan, whose sight is being slowly stolen from him by a terrible disease called mitochondrial disorder. We hope his story of unrelenting strength in the face of progressive blindness [Read More]
