For Today announce 2016 as their last year, catch them on their Farewell Tour

July 5, 2016

For Today have announced that this will be the last year for the band. They have released dates for the Farewell Tour. Check out their post on Facebook earlier today: After over 11 years as a band, 6 full length albums and 1 EP, we have decided to make 2016 the last year of For Today. When we started this band in 2005, we never imagined that our music would make it out of Sioux City, Iowa, let alone take us all around the world multiple times. Our lives have been hugely impacted by the time we’ve spent making music and touring. We met our wives, had kids and moved to different states because of For Today. It’s been an incredible experience, but we feel like now is the time to close this chapter of our lives and move on. There’s no behind the scenes drama happening or disagreements between band members. We’re all still best friends and will continue to be long after the band is over. We want to thank everybody who has [Read More]

EXCLUSIVE Interview with Joey Roxx of Burn Halo as we discuss their new singer

July 1, 2016

We were so excited to catch Burn Halo last Friday night at the Boardwalk as they kicked off their Wolves of War Tour.  It was also a very special evening as it was the official debut of T.J. Chopelas as the new vocalist. We are familiar with T.J. from his work with Trackfighter and he is a great singer. You might not know but several years ago, Burn Halo toured with Trackfighter and New Medicine. We saw them back on that tour, and it was nice to see T.J. T.J. was great on vocals as he brought his own style to the Burn Halo songs and took the reigns as their frontman.   One thing is certain, the band was on fire that night, fueled with a renewed energy that highlighted the passion for their music. Johnny Bad Bones on drums was ferocious as he delivered a savage drum solo.  Ryan Frost on rhythm guitar was spinning his guitar and jumping around, owning the stage.  Joey Roxx is a madman on his guitar, as he [Read More]
