Interview with James Cassells of Asking Alexandria as they take over The Warfield in San Francisco!

February 5, 2016

Asking Alexandra recently set out on the road with Bullet For My Valentine and While She Sleeps for the “British Invasion Tour”. We were excited to catch them on the 2nd night of the tour as they made a much needed stop in San Francisco at The Warfield Theater.  This was the first time that we would be catching Asking Alexandria in San Francisco performing with their new vocalist Denis Stoff. One thing is certain, they truly blew the roof off The Warfield as they came prepared to unleash their fierce heavy metal onto the SF crowd. There was no shortage of energy as the five gelled together and delivered a performance that would have any naysayers changing their tune. With the departure of Danny Worsnop last year, it was a pinnacle moment for the band. It was one of those moments for any  band, where it could either define them, destroy them or as in their case, catapult them to a whole new level. They have returned to their roots as they delved deep into [Read More]

One thing is certain, they truly bring the party to the stage as they will blow you away with their fun in the sun kick ass set!   Check out our interview with Bob and James at NAMM here: The Deadlies can be described as a California surf punk/rock band with a little Honky Tonk and Country thrown in.  One thing is for sure, when you listen to The Deadlies, you can’t help but move around and have some fun! They are “paying homage to the Ventures Dick Dale and the Chantays as well as the California Honky-tonk sound of Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam while keeping an under lying presence of the California surf punk scene that brought us the Dickies, Agent Orange and Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs.” They are set to perform on Friday, [Read More]

Our Spotlight Band is CREEPER and check out their new video!

January 28, 2016

For our spotlight band I would like to feature goth punks CREEPER as they are set to release their new EP The Stranger on February 19th. They were recently added to Radio 1’s In New Music We Trust List yesterday, they build towards its release by unveiling the video for ‘Black Mass’. Vocalist Will Gould comments about the video: “The concept behind the video is a dream that our EP’s cover character named Madeline is experiencing. She’s in the middle of an episode of sleep psychosis with the band performing to her in her dream. She awakes to find herself in her bedroom. The song’s lyrics are written from the perspective of the character of The Stranger, the heartbroken monster who is the EP’s namesake. They’re partly inspired by recounts of sleep paralysis, where sufferers describe seeing a ‘black matter’ or ‘black mass’ haunting them in their rooms at night, while they lie paralysed in bed.” Check out their video for their bad ass new track,  Black Mass:  I love the fresh new sound that CREEPER brings out but [Read More]
