August 27, 2013

For today’s Tuesdays Travels, I didn’t travel far to bring you some over the top Hard Rock/Glam Rock. From Montreal, Canada, I want to introduce you to RUSTED!

With over 30 years of history, Seventh Son is one band that you will never get tired of hearing. Formed in 1980 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England and performed their first gig at a “Speakeasy” in Wakefield.

Balance and Composure set to release Album and Fall Tour with Coheed and Cambria

August 21, 2013

Pennsylvania alternative rock band, Balance and Composure are set to release their new album on September 10th via No Sleep Records. I am truly excited about this one! Titled, “The Things We Think We’re Missing” is their second album and I have already heard one of the songs off it, Reflection and it has me eagerly counting the downs down until the full album release. Balance and Composure have to be my new favorite indie-alternative band! I just heard Tiny Raindrop, another single from the new album and it brings back my love of the 90’s when alternative music captivated my attention and didn’t blur the lines with sub-genres.! Their music reminds me of a mixture of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Blur and School of Fish. They, in no way imitate, since their music has it’s own refreshing original sound that I am savoring. You can head over to nslp.co/bacpreorder and iTunes to pre-order. In addition, they are releasing this incredible album on VINYL and have several multi-colored vinyl pressings. This will definitely be a time where you may [Read More]
