Check out the EP from Make or Break, The Linda Perry Project

September 5, 2014

If you have been like us, your Wednesdays were the highlight of the week to watch Make or Break The Linda Perry Project on Vh1. Whether you are a big fan of Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes), a musician, involved in the music industry, or simply tuned in to the show because it looked interesting, it was one of the best shows from this summer to watch. Linda not only took the viewer into her studios, but she took us on the musical journey of all the artists. It was great to watch her profound advice make such an impact on each and every one. Sometimes, you might have watched and wondered what she was really thinking… but then as time passed, each and every action was for the right reason. Linda not only helped the musicians with their music but she was also a source of self introspection, reflection, self awareness and healing, all the while giving the tools to each musician to grow and blossom into something magical. Now that the season is [Read More]

Take a listen to the first single Say F*ck it off Buckcherry’s new album

August 6, 2014

Buckcherry have just a little less than two weeks away from the release of their new EP which is titled…. FUCK. FUCK is set for an August 19th release! You may be wondering about the title but there is much more to the four letter word title. “This is a tribute to the word ‘fuck’… Over the years, we’ve been told so many times to get away from the honesty that makes this band special. It’s a part of who I am. It’s not about the profanity itself; it’s about using it cleverly.” – Josh Todd posted on their Facebook page. One thing is for sure, I am really looking forward to this EP. Buckcherry have always made the music that they wanted to and have maintained to keep the honesty in their music. So I applaud them again for continuing to keep themselves grounded and making great music! Pre-orders for the new EP are available now by visiting here: iTunes Pre-Order. Are you ready for the first single? Well here it is, take a listen to [Read More]

The Lost Boys set to release Sleepless Nights on July 16 and will perform select dates on Warped Tour

July 7, 2014

The Lost Boys are set to release their new EP Sleepless Nights at midnight on July 16th. The EP was produced by Tyler Smith of Dangerkids (Rise Records). The five track EP is filled with fun, energetic songs with emotionally driven lyrics. It can be described as a pop punk but as they say, ‘The Lost Boys aren’t trying to fit into any style or genre, they want to leave their audience thinking about the stories they tell’. That is exactly what they deliver, solid well crafted songs delivered in a fun energetic sound. Lost Boy has a great anthemic youth vibe that will have you singing along in no time. Bad Names is my personal favorite with it’s catchy chorus and high spirited sound yet Overreaction has a very infectious beat and reminds me of a Blink 182 vibe. They in no way imitate because they really have their own sound that can stand on it own. The EP is the perfect soundtrack for your summer of “feel good” songs to bring your spirit back to life.
