Reckless Love Rocks it for the 12th day of Christmas!

December 23, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 12 On the 12th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some bold glam rock with Reckless Love. Being the last day of the 12 Days of Christmas, I wanted to really bring out and highlight my love for 80’s rock and sleaze rock. It is as if Reckless Love were a band frozen in time just before the grunge and alternative rock took over the airwaves. Then they were thawed out and just came out guns blazing and ready to rock. These guys literally just have everything that I wanted back in my ’80s rock and so much more. They are delivering fresh new music and their song “Born to Break Your Heart” has topped the charts at No. 1 on Fin Radio. This song reminds could rival any Bon Jovi hits and I really like it! Reckless Love is from Kuopio, Finland and they started back in 2001, first by playing all Guns ‘n Roses cover songs. They have since put out two albums and [Read More]

Hotel Diablo is the 11th gift of 12 Days of Christmas Rock!

December 22, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 11 On the 11th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some awesome rock with Hotel Diablo. This band puts together 80’s inspired rock and roll, complete with the power ballads, shredding guitars, strong vocals and octane level energy! Hotel Diablo was formed in 2011 by one of the hardest working guitarists, Alex Grossi and dynamic vocalist Rick Stitch. These guys then completed the perfect union with precision bass by Mike Duda and adrenaline fed drums by Mike Dupke. Together they serve up some intense rock for you that we have all been craving. Earlier this year they released their full length album The Return to Psycho California through Scarlet Records. The album was produced by none other than Gilby Clark of Guns n Roses and Rockstar Supernova. The Return to Psycho California is available through Itunes or Amazon. You are going to love this album. Here is one of my favorite songs from the album, “Psycho, California” This is a band you will have to keep [Read More]

Day 9 brings CrashDiet for 12 Days of Christmas Rock!

December 20, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 9 On the 9th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some sexy glam rock from Crashdiet. I have been transported back in my time machine and I am walking down the Sunset Strip in the mid 1980’s. Up and down the strip I can catch a show, anything from Glam Metal, Hair Bands, or even some Punk shows. I have my favorite pair of fringed white Zodiac Boots, bright zebra print top and my short pink skirt. Of course I have my hair in my high upstyle and tons of hairspray. I am ready to check out some bands and rock out. That is what Crashdiet brings back to me. All my favorite memories of partying and rocking out in the 80’s but now I can enjoy that same feeling while listening to this Swedish “sleaze rock” band. They are like that second shot of whiskey, it feels great but be prepared for some fun and trouble. I have had some deep discussions with others [Read More]

Day 8 gives us Gone For Days for 12 Days of Christmas Rock!

December 19, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 8 On the 8th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some Guilty Pleasure by Gone For Days. I have been enjoying the rockin’ sound from this four piece band for the past year. If you have not heard of them, well you are just plain missing out. They are one of the bands that I first heard of through Octane Channel on Sirius Radio. I tend to get a long of my new finds from their late night radio play and it is great to see the song’s get increased airplay as the weeks go by and climb up the charts on the Octane Big ‘Uns Countdown and request charts. They have a sound that resonates Hard Rock with touches of Southern Rock and mixed in with emotionally driven vocals. If you like Black Stone Cherry, Hinder or Three Days Grace these guys are going to be right up your alley. They give you a little of everything. You will get driving guitars, soul touching lyrics, [Read More]

Day 6 brings us Tracer for the 12 Days of Rock Christmas!

December 17, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 6 On the 6th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me an incredible treasure from down under called Tracer. This one took me by surprise since the second I heard it, I was grinning from ear to ear as if I had just won the lottery. I quietly crept into Rockin Ryan’s Garage to plug in my favorite pair of Marshall headphones so I could really take a good listen to this band. I needed to make sure what I was hearing was just as awesome I thought it was… Well verdict IN. YES, it was. It was a gift of sweet classic rock soaked in grungy sweat that just tickled my senses! Judging from the intense and larger than life sound that Tracer delivers, it is hard to believe that it is just three guys in this band. Michael Brown has flawless vocals and wields out some excellent riffs and high energy solos and hooks on the guitar. Pat Saracino is also on vocals and dominates [Read More]

Winchester Rebels is the 5th gift for the 12 Days of Rock Christmas!

December 16, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 5 On the 5th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some LA Rock from Winchester Rebels. I am so glad that these guys are around to show that certain types of music will live on and evolve. With Winchester Rebels you get the powerful feel, reminiscent of Rock and Roll straight from the Sunset Strip but laced with some Seattle grunge. It is the perfect blend, like I created my perfect coffee mix, a little of this and a little of that and BAM you have a double shot of ROCK to enjoy! It is as if Scott Weiland walked into the wrong studio and ended up in an Alice in Chains studio and they just jammed. What developed was their own unique sound that is Winchester Rebels and is a sound that is hard to rival. Belting out the awesome and sexy vocals is Nick Hunt, then you are given a double dose of rockin guitars by Nick Fitzgerald and James Longoria. Add in [Read More]
