Dellacoma Rio releases his first debut single “Dead Will Rise”

December 15, 2013

Earlier this year, I told you about an awesome band that I fell in love with from Australia, Sunset Riot. You can read that post here. They really caught my eye and couldn’t wait to hear more from them. Of course, I learned about them a little too late since they did disband later in the year. I was excited to hear that singer Dellacoma Rio was still pursing his passion for music in the aftermath of Sunset Riot’s disbanding. Dellacoma has such an amazingly unique voice that draws you in to his musical world. Dellacoma has recently released his lyric video for his debut single, “Dead Will Rise” and you can check it out here: Dellacoma explains more about the song, “Dead Will Rise”, “The song is pretty much an anthem for those who feel like they’ve been written off. Coming off the back of Sunset Riots breakup I felt like a lot of people were expecting that my career was finished musically, that I was effectively dead as an artist. I guess [Read More]

Countdown of 14 bands that will rule 2014! #10 goes to Beware of Darkness

December 15, 2013

Here we are at the #10 spot, counting down the 14 bands that we think will rule 2014. Today for hot spot Number 10, we bring you Beware of Darkness. This band just exploded on to the scene this year and there is definitely no slowing them down. Beware of Darkness was formed in 2010 by singer/guitarist Kyle Nicolaides and drummer Tony Cupito. They added bassist Daniel Curcio and they became a well rounded powerful trio. In 2013, they released their debut album Orthodox and their song Howl seemed to become one of everyone’s favorite new song including mine. I remember the first time I heard it was when I was listening to the MusicChoice channel on cable. I was writing and the song came on, I almost stumbled out of my chair to race over and make sure I could find out what the song was. From that moment, many months ago, we were pleased to hear it being played on Octane XM, Sixx Sense, radio and much more. You can pick up Orthodox on Itunes [Read More]

Day 7 of 12 Days of Bands You Have To Know goes to Tattooed Millionaires

December 15, 2013

Day 7 of 12 Days of Bands You Have to Know goes to Tattooed Millionaires. Sometimes the path you first choose takes you to unexpected places with ups and downs along the way. You have a choice at that point…walk away or continue on your path that you were destined for. The latter is exactly what Johnny Jetson of Tattooed Millionaires chose. He walked the path that continued on with his great journey of music. Sometimes that path brings you to the crossroads where you have to choose and that time is now for Tattooed Millionaires. As Johnny Jetson explains, “When the band first started it was somewhat political… now I don’t give a fuck about politics we just want to rock the fuck out of people… in the beginning it was very image heavy now our music has caught up to the image… we are all about freedom to be who the fuck you want to be live life on your own terms and no one tells us what to do ever..” There is the [Read More]

Day 6 of 12 Days of Bands You Have To Know is for Switchblade Serenade

December 14, 2013

Today we are on our Day 6 of 12 Days of Bands You Have To Know and the honor goes to Switchblade Serenade. My son Rockin Ryan introduced me to them earlier this year. Every time he would play them, I would always about who is that band? I love them and their straight up rock n roll. As you know ’80s rock is finally making a comeback. I call it ’80s on replay style rock n roll. Switchblade Serenade definitely are doing it right and delivering some great style ’80s rock but with an updated sound. They have the rocker look and the musical talent to back it up! Check out one of my favorite songs by them, Switchblade Susie here: Switchblade Serenade is Austin Jaser on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Luke Barone on Drums and Vocals and Ed Mandevil on Bass and Vocals. These three young guys bring a great big sound that you have to take notice of. They are from New Haven, CT and you can definitely feel their musical influences such as [Read More]
