May 23, 2013

Station I told you about Station last week and as promised, here is our interview with Pat. Take a read and you can get to know more about this incredible Rock Band from New York. Also included below is our original post on them! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: How did Station form? Pat: Station formed in September of 2010 when I met our guitarist Chris. We found each other through the NY music scene and set up a jam session/audition with each other. From that moment on, Chris and I have been working together. * * * * * Music Junkie Press: Who does the writing or is it a collaborative effort? Pat: There is no set way we write. Sometimes it’s one of us with an idea or a group effort. Either way, once we start fleshing out the song, it takes on a life of it’s own that truly makes it sound like Station.

Check out some new Rock and Roll with Station from New York!

May 16, 2013

Station We have another great rock band from the Rocklahoma lineup to tell you about. They are Station, and even though they sound like they are right off the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, to my surprise they are from New York. You have Patrick Kearney on Vocals, Chris Lane on guitar, Mike Anderson on Bass and Brian Karl on Drums. I just got their CD “Wired” in the other day after returning from the craziness of Golden Gods Awards/That Metal Show, etc so I was glad to be back and looking forward to new music. First, when I opened the envelope, I pulled out the CD and really liked the Cover. It is simple but just screams ROCK. Secondly, I opened it up to see some pictures of the guys and shots of them at live shows. These guys definitely have a great rock look to them and I was really excited to continue on as I popped in the CD, hoping they wouldn’t disappoint. Then, right off the start is their first song, “Everything” [Read More]

Interview with Delta Rose – Featured Band of Warped Tour

May 8, 2013

Last week when we were down in Los Angeles for the Golden Gods Awards we went to the Revolver Golden Gods Aftermath Party at The Viper Room. What was even better about this night was that, Delta Rose was going to be opening up for Heaven’s Basement. Delta Rose is one of our featured bands from the Warped Tour 2013 and we had a chance to interview them right out on the Sunset Strip. Truly a place where these guys belong. They bring out true old school rock and roll just like many of the bands that I have been featuring. So, when people say, “Where is our Rock and Roll?’ All you have to tell them is check out Delta Rose! Here is our interview: I love the energy and enthusiasm these guys have. It is no wonder they recently got endorsed by Gibson. They are also working on the completion of their debut music video which is being shot by none other than the great Rob Fenn. Rob’s work has become unparalled in [Read More]

Time to rock out to The Jaded

April 29, 2013

The Jaded It has been quite some time that I can say that my old stomping grounds, San Francisco has produced a great rock and roll band. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of great things have come from San Francisco. Sourdough soup bowl from Boudin’s. Seafood at the Wharf. The Stinking Rose. Fun nights at Candlestick. but a great rock band…. not in a while… until now. We had the pleasure of seeing San Francisco rock band, The Jaded up here at the Last Day Saloon in Santa Rosa. These guys just bring old school rock and roll and wrap in everything from funk to old school sound, that just has you wanting more and more. The Jaded is Jimmy Steal aka Sergio on vocals/rhythm guitar, Matt Notter on bass, Downey Orrick on lead guitar/backing vocals and Elliot Starno on drums and percussion. These four come together to send you into rock and roll bliss with their sound. We had the chance to catch up with The Jaded at their recent show at the [Read More]

April 28, 2013

These past couple of days I have found myself listening to the new album by The Sammus Theory, “Entitled Anonymous”. On April 23rd, they released their third album and it is by no surprise outstanding. This album really delivers strong hooks, heavy power and is filled with their passion to rock. The Sammus Theory is Sam Hughes on Vocals, Kyle Welnel on rhythm guitar, Jeremy Tabor on lead guitar, Brent Gilliland on bass and Marshall Harrod on drums. Together they create the powerhouse rock that will have you engaged from the first song to the last. I will get you a full review of this CD soon but for now I wanted to share an interview we recently had with Sam Hughes. You can check it out here: Head over to their website where you can get your own copy of “Entitled Anonymous”. You can get your digital copy, physical copy or my preferred: BOTH!
