Catch Saint Ridley on The Free Music Tour presented by A-Team Entertainment

March 23, 2016

We are very excited to share the news of The Free Music Tour which is being presented by A-Team Entertainment Group. The tour will feature hard rock metal band Saint Ridley. The tour will kick off on March 24th in Bradley, Illinois and continues until April 23rd in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We first caught Saint Ridley as they came to San Francisco last year opening for Coal Chamber at The Regency Ballroom. They were incredible as they delivered a straight up dose of hard rock/heavy metal with a Pantera vibe. In no way imitating, since this band definitely has their own signature sound for you to fall in love with. Their high energy set completely blew us away and we really look forward to their return to the Bay Area. Saint Ridley members: Paul Ridley: Vocals Phil “Alabama” Durham: Guitar Nathan Garcia: Bass Richard Schlager: Drums Check out their lyric video for Death by Design: Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. ~ Marisol [Read More]

Get ready for a wild rock and roll ride! As you may know, they appeared on the AXS show Breaking Band with Sebastian Bach. Bach explains more in his Facebook post: Well I have been waiting a long time to make an announcement like this. I can’t remember the last time we went on a Full USA Tour WITH another amazing band, every single night. That is about to change!! Recently I had the pleasure to shoot an AXS TV Show called Breaking Band where I was introduced to a totally kick ass group of individuals named Santa Cruz (band) . These guys blew me away onstage, and were super nice and funny at the same time. I thought, “How cool would it be to take these dudes on tour???” Believe it or not, it’s happening!!! The Government of Finland has been kind enough [Read More]

AM Taxi release live studio video of Shake, Rattle and Stall

March 23, 2016

AM TAXI is one of the first bands we ever featured on Music Junkie Press, nearly six years ago as we embarked on our music site journey. From the first time we saw them opening up for The Spill Canvas at Slim’s in San Francisco, we were blown away and instantly fell in love with their music which was a blend of punk and rock with captivating gritty vocals. They have persevered through lineup changes and a label that I think didn’t truly appreciate the honest true talent that was right in front of them. AM Taxi is one of our favorite bands with a sound that is addictive in every sense. They are definitely back on the music scene and are working on releasing a mixtape, Semi-Confessional on May 13th. They recently released a video which was shot at the IV Lab Studio in Chicago and filmed by Press Photoraphy Network Inc. It features the band performing Shake, Rattle and Stall. It is awesome and I can’t wait for the tape! AM Taxi [Read More]

March 21, 2016

Alien Ken is back at it with a new album, Change is Constant which is the follow up to his debut Contact which was released in 2014. The new album is a full on straight up bad ass ROCK ALBUM! There is no smoke and mirrors, gimmicks or bandwagon songs, this is one complete album that will ROCK YOU. The mysterious and eccentric Alien Ken from Zeta Reticculi/Norway first captured our attention with his debut album and now has us completely hooked with his new songs. The album kicks right off with Dualstar that draws you in with the powerful gritty vocals and fierce guitars. Check out the video for the track which was recorded in Frog Leap Studios by Arvid Tjelta: Concrete Plastic starts off with a punk angsty intro and then catapults into commanding vocals, chunky guitars and fist in the air rock. Veni Vidi Vici is one of my personal faves and has a sweet blues feel dipped into smoking guitars and high energy. Third has a theatrical dark feel and really [Read More]
