From headlining performances as well as supporting slots for some of the biggest bands in metal, Ottawa, Canada’s Sovereign Council have hit the ground running and haven’t stopped since they formed in 2012. They have released two full-length albums to date “New Reign” (2013) and “Laniakea” (2015) and now they have a fresh new EP “World On Fire” for listeners and ahead of its release, the band is offering up the title track as a...
And we’re back with another fantastic round of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! Here with us today, we have a guy that does it all (and is killing it) – producer, mentor, and digital creator, Mike Hitt! He just dropped a new track, h.EAT, and you’re gonna want to jam that in your ears ASAP. We’re talking about his success, his journey getting there, and his positivity...
**TW: Addiction – Take care while reading** Catharsis hit me like a ton of bricks. Since my first listen I have grooved along, written down great lines to remember, thought a lot, and cried a little. Before I get into the album though, I’d like to start with how I got here. Curtis, from Brave New World, hit me up to talk about his band and their upcoming release. His brother, Ryan, is another brilliant...
And we’re back with another fantastic round of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! Here with us today we have the a trio that you NEED to check out IMMEDIATELY, Take Me With You! Now if you’re only watching this to see if we are gonna get into that ONE THING, you’re gonna be disappointed. Or will we spill the beans… 🤔 We’re definitely talking about their music,...
While I am not generally a fan of going out on New Year’s Eve – New Year’s Eve, Eve, Eve? That’s my kind of party! I met the funky fellows from Dream the Heavy on our podcast, Bands and Artists we like and Support that Aren’t as good as GHU. If you’re unfamiliar with the podcast and/or God Hates Unicorns, the name may sound off-putting. This is intentional, as we are a bunch of huge...
I first checked out Johnny and the Razorblades when I met Johnny Razorblade himself at his recording studio. He actually records and produces my band, God Hates Unicorns, at his award-nominated spot, Razorblade Recordings. (Side note, the album he recorded and produced for us won 2nd best album of the year in the Pittsburgh City Paper best of 2022. He’s the real deal.) At any rate, I was extremely late to a party that had...
I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Hemi, AKA Silicon Kong, at a red-carpet movie premier for the Panic Terror Films / DowncastSpark short film, Hidden Behind the Veil. Now one thing I want to clarify up top – I’m not referring to Ian as one of those “licky” dog toys that they get peanut butter out of (unless that’s something he’s into, you’d have to ask his wife on that). Silicon Kong (Ian Hemi) is...
And we’re back with another fantastic episode of Bands and Artists we Like and Support that Aren’t as Good as GHU! Here with us today, we have musician, promoter, and record label owner, Christian from SuperMonkey! WHERE can you get his latest 7″ featuring singles “Elisa Bonita” and “You Can’t Lie to God”? WHO is “You Can’t Lie to God” about? (Spoiler, it’s about Joshua.) IS God Hates Unicorns trying to be the next Fleetwood...
Black Ridge hosted their “Raw Power” CD Release Show at Next Door Café on Thursday, November 10th. A close friend (Bill from Build the Scene) suggested Jana (the boss of my fam, First Angel Media) and I attend, and he didn’t exactly have to twist our arms to make it happen. Anyone who has any experience with these guys absolutely adores them. A chance to see an amazing band with my amazing friends? Count me...
Some Die Nameless, a well-respected, loved, and even adored promoter team in Pittsburgh presented a 7th round of their “Half-Covered Halloween” show tradition. This year was a little different than in years past, though. They have split the event into two, each having a specific theme. On October 22nd, round one went down at Ormsby Ave Cafe and Outdoor Stage. The theme was Ozzfest, and the participating bands did not disappoint in bringing this to life....
