Some Fear None, A must see band from Sacramento!

July 25, 2013

Sacramento, CA rockers, Some Fear None have a new CD out that you have to get your hands onto and your ears listening! I first saw this incredible rock band over a years ago as they opened up for Burn Halo and Smile Empty Soul. We were blown away by the energy these rockers bring to the stage. You have powerful vocals by Nathan Giguiere, intense guitar work by Chuck Carrasco, slamming bass by Gina Salatino and pounding drums by Jason Weisker. You put these four together and you are completely captivated by their unique rock sound that blends everything from metal to alternative, to grunge and more. Their debut CD, “Break Hold and Elevate” is a work of art as you get a fusion of sounds reminiscent of early Deftones, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden as well as other bands like Three Days Grace, Seether, and more. They truly have created their own unique sound and don’t try to put themselves into any particular genre or subgenre of music. They do what they are best at, [Read More]

STICKMIKE delivers old school punk rock!

July 24, 2013

Sometimes you just need more punk rock in your life…. Right now is that time for me. I got a quick listen to a band from Australia that I just fell in love with! Let me introduce you to Stickmike and get ready to jump and shout! You definitely can’t call them a new band since they have been around since 2004 and giving the Down Under their punk rock. These four guys; Neil Dick on Lead Guitar, Todd Stephenson on Bass and Vocals, Joey Pangilinan on Drums and Scott Stephenson on Vocals and Rhythm Guitar are from Sydney and named their band after taping some hockey sticks together to be used as a microphone. Here is a video for one of their latest songs, ‘This One’s For You” which is off their CD titled, “Imagine if We Tried” and available on Itunes here. This song is like an anthemic energetic song reminiscent of my love for Material Issue and AM TAXI. Take a listen and get hooked!! These guys have put out several demos but it is [Read More]

Top 25 Cover/Remake Songs You have to know!

July 23, 2013

I have always loved cover songs, most specifically cover songs that I end up liking even better than their original. During many of my my interviews with bands, one of my favorite questions I ask is if they could take a song from any other genre and turn it into their own, what would it be? I have had some great responses, like Jettblack rockers doing a cover of Tina Turner’s “We Don’t Need Another Hero“, or Wratchchild doing a cover of the Beach Boys, “California Girls” or A Story Beneath doing a cover of the Mamas and the Papas, “California Dreamin“. Those are all remakes that I hope get made. What I really like is when an artists takes the original song and completely makes it their own, truly owns it and not just imitates. Haven’t you ever heard a remake where you are singing the lyrics and then it comes to you, that this is a remake of an old familiar song, just made completely different. Well here is my list of my [Read More]
