Raiju delivers a fresh new sound that is highly addictive and you will love!

January 5, 2014

Straight from one of the most politically liberal towns in the U.S. comes a band delivering one of the freshest new sounds in progressive metal/rock bands out today. Raiju is comprised of five suave musicians who together blend the great sounds of metal, pop, rock, and progressive into their own highly addictive music style.  Even though they bring to mind a familiarity of bands like Dream Theater, Of Mice and Mine, Bring Me The Horizon and Pierce the Veil, they truly stand out with their originality and forging ahead to create their own unique sound. Their song Pasquale is the perfect song to get yourself acquainted to this new band. You not only hear some kick ass metal guitars but raging  high octane drums. The vocals just capture you and you are drawn into the melodious metal riffs. Definitely a great song that you will soon be adding to your playlist. Amazing work guys! So who is Raiju?You have Scott Wagner on  Lead & Rhythm Vocals, Bobby Carroll on Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Darby Keith on Lead & [Read More]

Sending well wishes to Duff McKagan as he recovers from Pneumonia

January 3, 2014

One of my SPECTACULAR ALL TIME FAVORITE bassists is feeling under the weather!! Duff McKagan is reported to be recovering from pneumonia. As you know, Duff has been very busy touring with his band, Walking Papers this past year. Their tour took them not only across the country, but worldwide. Walking Papers finished the year off by playing to a sold out crowd on New Year’s Eve at the Highway 99 Blues Club in Seattle,  WA.  What an amazing year for them, but I am sure along with that extensive touring, it can take a toll on you.  Earlier today, Duff’s amazingly talented and beautiful wife, Susan took to Twitter and asked for well wishes for her hubby who is home with pneumonia. So, now it up to all of us, send Duff our best wishes for a full recovery! So please send out good vibes and well wishes to Duff!  Also make sure to visit the Waking Papers’ website which has their vinyl now available!! I love the clarity and sound of  Vinyls and [Read More]

The String Theory captures Heart, Soul and Rock ‘n Roll with their new album.

January 2, 2014

Straight from Independence, Kentucky is one of the most promising new Indie Rock bands for 2014… The String Theory.  This powerful trio brings to life a culmination of sounds from blues, hard rock, metal, funk and so much more. In a world where so much  music has been compartmentalized to fit a genre or sub-genre standard, it is awesome to see a band just put their full attention to putting out GREAT MUSIC! That is exactly what The String Theory does.They clearly capture, Heart, Soul and Rock and Roll. The String Theory is David Cahill on Vocals and Guitar, Andrew Sterner on Bass and Vocals and Tristan Arnold on Drums. These three combined, create a big powerful sound that deserves your attention. I had the opportunity to listen to their new album, “Falling Like The Sun” and I am hooked on this band. The whole album is filled with well-written, energetic and fun songs. The album starts right off with energy and attitude on the first track, Falling Like The Sun. David Cahill’s vocals start in with a punk [Read More]
