On Friday March 24th, I hit the Sub Alpine Society for a local live show featuring some of the hottest bands in the area. The energy was palpable before things kicked off as I anticipated what was to come. Before the evening got started, I got a chance to talk with Johnny and the Razorblades and you can check out the interview below! The night got started with The Sneaky Heat Missiles who provided hot...
Alternative folk cabaret Frenchy and the Punk recently debuted a video for the single “Church of Sound”. What we have here is a song full of gentle acoustical guitars matched by the powerful and haunting vocals of the songstress of the group. It is a very beautiful song matched by a video shot in monochrome showing the duo performing the song with various scenery intercut in. It is something I could see those of the...
The other day I get a message in my inbox to check out this artist named Ren and pointed me to listen to his latest single “Hi Ren”. The words used to describe was how mind blowing it was and it is beyond anything done before. With words like that, I knew it was worth checking into. And yeah, mind blowing does not even begin to describe it. The song is an over 9 minute...
Homegrown deathcore band Gravebirth comes out swinging in their new album All Light Will End which was released via Shattered Earth Records on March 17th. Containing 7 blistering tracks, this album does not let up from the moment it begins. It will be a constant barrage of sludgy riffs, soul shattering bass, pummeling drums, and growling vocals as you take the journey through. The breakdowns alone are enough to induce the listener to a headbanging...

Female fronted metalcore band Dying Oath recently released their 4th single “Ascension”, and it absolutely crushes. The song immediately starts off with heavy guitar riffs, and heavy artillery drum beat. The lead vocalist Mindy Jackson boasts death growls and venomous vocals that add to the energy of the song. The song is meant as a warcry to those who been through abuse and find that they cannot escape it. There is way out, a way...
Today we have Awake At Last with their single “The Other Side”. The song starts by bathing you electronica bliss, going nice, gentle, almost serene in a way. Then the guitars explode in the chorus. The vocal range is really good in this one transitioning from quiet to energetic shouting. The lyrics of the song get deep and delves into the subject matter of losing someone and wondering if you will see them again. Whether...

Dark electronic band Inva//id from Los Angeles recently debuted a music video for their track “Snow”. Let’s take a look-see at what they have to offer. The song starts with guitars, and just gets more intense from there with its dark beats and vocals that are both shouty yet quiet at times. This is the kind of song that makes you want to bring out the stomping boot as you march to the beat. As...
