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]

Day 4 brings Man Made Machine for 12 Days of Rock Christmas!

December 15, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 4 On the 4th day of Christmas my Rock and Roll love gave to me some high energy rock from Man Made Machine. Get ready people, you are going to love this band! They have been described as a full-octane rock and metal sound. When you listen to them you will instantly be banging your head with fists in the air and ready to ROCK! Even though they had many labels approaching them, they inked a record deal with Razor & Tie to debut their album “BECOME”. Now this gets even better when you throw in the fact that it is produced by Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne/HellYeah) and mixed by Jeremy Parker (Godsmack/Evanescence). Ya, I know, you can pick up your jaw now. These guys have an incredible entourage backing them and guess what? They do not let anyone down, but instead exceed expectations by delivering solid powered rock with emotionally charged lyrics. Man Made Machine is Joe Cotela on Vocals, Justyn Sena on Bass, Matt Reinhard [Read More]

Love and a .38 is our 2nd gift for 12 Days of Christmas!

December 13, 2012

12 Days of Rock Christmas! Day 2 On the 2nd day of Christmas my rock and roll love gave to me the KICK ASS ROCK of Love and a .38! Oh ya, more true style rock and roll for you on this second day. Love and a .38 has been one of my favorite bands for a while now. When you think of the history of Sunset Strip and Rock and Roll, what comes to mind is The Whiskey, Troubadour, Gazzari’s, The Roxy, The Rainbow and bands like Smile! Tryx! Ratt! Van Halen! Motley Crue! Ally Cats! There are too many to name but I personally enjoyed many weekends on the Sunset Strip during the 80’s and 90’s and they provided some of my best memories of great rock and roll whether it was 80’s Hairbands, Glamour Rock, GlamPunk, it was all great! So when I first heard Love and a .38 it took me back to those great days and here we are in 2012 and people can experience the excitement of finding [Read More]

Kenneth J. Nash’s touching personal journey through music

December 6, 2012

Kenneth J. Nash For anyone who has turned to music to comfort themselves, silence a fear, escape from the pain or just to feed their soul, Kenneth J. Nash delivers the best medicine. Kenneth is no stranger to the music scene and has written and released several LPs over the past few years. He is an English singer songwriter that has captured my attention with his beautiful words and soul touching songs. Kenneth is working on a new LP that shares his journey through depression, loneliness, vengeful feelings and provides a message of hope to everyone that they too can get through these times. His smooth voice is like a warm embrace that keeps you safe from harm. His music literally takes me back in time to when I might come home from school with a bruised knee or a broken heart and I would run into my father’s arms and just feel all my troubles melt away. That is what I feel when I listen to Kenneth; safety, peace and just pure bliss. His [Read More]

Adler breathes new life into Rock ‘n Roll!

December 4, 2012

It is finally here! Yes, the long wait is over. The debut record of Adler titled “Back from the Dead” has been released. This album was produced by Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, Dokken). There is even guest appearances by Steven’s former Guns ‘n Roses bandmate; Slash and the great John 5 formerly of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. The singles “The One That you Hated” and “Good to be Bad” have been all over the airwaves. This album is filled with great rock and roll and has everything we have been waiting to hear. It is not going to be a surprise if this album puts out more than a handful of hit singles. It is great to have an album once again where you want to buy the complete album and you listen to it from beginning to end. These days everyone seems to be buying singles or only getting to hear a couple songs from an album. Well on this one, you can’t do that because you will miss so many great songs. It [Read More]
