Heavy Metal band No More Solace represents San Francisco in a heavy way at the Whisky a GoGo

May 26, 2014

Last week when we went down to cover the Skid Row show at the Whisky a GoGo, it was an awesome night filled with hard rock and heavy metal. In addition to the legendary Skid Row kicking ass, we had epic performances by Shattered Sun , State Line Empire, Ragdoll, and No More Solace. Being a Bay Area native, it was awesome for me to see San Francisco Heavy Metal band No More Solace show the Whisky that we still have a lot to offer in the heavy metal scene. They came out blazing with heavy riffs, vicious melodies and harmonious and powerful vocals. They were there to kick it up a notch and they definitely achieved what they came to do. It was great to see Chuck Billy (Testament and co-founder of Breaking Bands Management) watching them as well. I am sure he was proud to see this Bay Area Band tear up the Whisky with their heavy metal. Check out the photos from Rockin Ryan of their set: You can also check out a tribute [Read More]

BLUE OCTOBER at The Altar Bar, May 14, 2014 by guest contributor Mark Iman

May 24, 2014

BLUE OCTOBER The ALTAR BAR 5-14-14 PITTSBURGH, PA by Guest Contributor Mark Iman, MarkImanConcertReview.blogspot.com Sway the seventh studio album from the Texas based band Blue October, which started out as a crowd funded project via PledgeMusic, raised over two hundred percent of their goal over the course of the campaign. Truly showing that, the fans really do make the band. Since the first time I saw them in New York, I have had the pleasure of following Blue October for the last three years. In that time I have gone from learning their music, to becoming friends with some of the most amazing people, and interacting with members of the band. It didn’t take long to see why WE consider each other family and not just fans. The same faces can be seen at multiple shows on any given leg of a tour. Fans have been known to carpool, camp out, and stay with fellow members of the Blue October Community. Lining up as early as 7a.m. (I know for a fact because I was with [Read More]
