Thirsty Thursday spotlight is on Faith and Bullets

November 14, 2013

Today we are announcing our first spotlight of our Thirsty Thursday features. That is where we feature a young new band that is thirsty to rock and has the power to make it happen! This week we would like to introduce you to a new band from Central California, Faith and Bullets. Faith and Bullets was formed less than 8 months ago and they are ready to take the rock scene by surprise. They have a sound that blends old 80’s rock like Motley Crue, Kiss, Poison, and Dokken with what I call “80’s on replay rock” like Crashdiet, Black Veil Brides, and Reckless Love. So who is Faith and Bullets? Well, it was started by guitarist, Rikk Alexander and then added vocalist; Stevie Meyhem, rhythm guitarist; Cody Gadomski and bassist Abel Lynch. They are still working on adding the drummer and meanwhile have Jason Guidry as their studio and session drummer. If you would like to take a listen head over to their Facebook or Reverbnation pages or click here. They currently have two [Read More]

Interview with Baz of NITERAIN, our last week Tuesdays Travel Pick!

November 12, 2013

Last week for our Tuesdays Travel pick of the week, we had introduced you to NiteRain. Here is an excerpt from that post: “This week, I have incredible ’80s inspired rock band from Oslo, Norway as our Tuesdays Travels Pick. They are NiteRain and they have an amazing sound. Their music reminds me of catching early Motley Crue out on the Sunset Strip in the ’80s. Early Vince Neil style vocals, Kick ass guitar riffs, slamming bass and energetic drums. Together you have the intense rock n roll of NiteRain.” NiteRain is Adrien Persen on Guitar, Sebastian Tvedtnaes on Vocals, Morten Garberg on Drums and Frank Karlsen on Bass. They have been known to have explosive stage presence and deliver high velocity sleaze rock. These guys are definitely in the running to take over the glam sleaze rock scene! They have had great success in touring with L.A. Guns across Europe and we hope they come out here to the US soon. Their glam infused rock is just as contagious as their fierce energy and is [Read More]
