An interview with Country Rock artist Josey Milner

December 1, 2013

I have a secret for you. When I was young, there was a time when I was really into country music thanks to the guy I was dating, and I still have a soft spot for country. What I love is that over the years, country has been given a fresh vibrant life as rock n roll seemed to find it’s way in.  Today, there is a young country artist out there that definitely rocks the country music! That artist is the young and talented Josey Milner of Missouri. Josey‘s debut single, Not Pretty Enough not only had the country world taking a serious look at her talent but it also help launch her anti-bullying campaign as a spokesperson for her Angles and Doves. Josey  has recently released her new single, Cowgirls and it is definitely a crowd pleaser! We recently had the opportunity to interview Josey Milner and are pleased to present it to you here: * * * * *  Music Junkie Press: Thank you Josey for taking the time out to talk with us here [Read More]

decoded release new EP Topanga and it is a gift to my ears!

November 30, 2013

I just had the opportunity to listen to the new album by Derek Jordan’s band, decoded.  Decoded has been through  well over a dozen member changes since their 2012 start but through it all frontman Derek Jordan and drummer Heather Miller weathered the changes and came out on top. They recently released their new EP Topanga and it is amazing! Today decoded is Derek Jordan, Heather Miller, Ian McCulloch and Amy Clark. It starts right off with a catchy down n dirty tune, Topanga that has a punk vibe to it. The energy it gives off will have you moving in no time. Some other highlights of the EP is the mesmerizing bass line in Last Night and the jazzy rock style and some sweet ass guitar of Red Handed. Not Easy Being Alone is truly my favorite song, it almost has a 60’s feel to it, psychedelic rock era . The lyrics emotionally draw you in and the vocals of Derek are mysterious yet commanding. He has an amazingly unique voice that I could listen to all day!!!! [Read More]

Time for San Francisco to listen and “All Hail The Yeti”!

November 29, 2013

This week was an awesome one for music!  On Tuesday we went to San Francisco for the Hell Pop Tour 1 with In This Moment, Motionless In White, Kyng and All Hail The Yeti! It was a great night. It was the first time for us seeing All Hail The Yeti and boy they didn’t disappoint for that first time experience. They came straight out and just bled their energy and soul out on that stage. They played songs from their self titled album and the crowd thoroughly loved it! One of my favorite songs is The Art of Mourning and you can check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan put together with footage and photos from their San Francisco show here:   It is amazing to see that this hard working band,  with lineup changes and starting back in 2006 is finally getting the recognition they so very well deserve. “We’ve managed to prevail through all the bullshit,” says frontman Connor Garritty. “I have seen too many great metal bands die here. We had to [Read More]
