Saucy Monky is an interesting mix of 90s alternative, great songwriting, catchy hooks and a healthy dose of attitude that’s down right infectious and hard to resist. They are one of those bands that you may not know the name, but you know the music. The band has had several songs featured on such Nickelodeon shows as Drake and Josh, iCarly and Zoey101.

Virginia Beach, Virginia is not a place that’s automatically associated with an awesome music scene. Wait; now before I start hearing boos from all of the hard working musicians there, hear me out. It’s the beach, bikinis, suntan lotion, it’s sand and water and a place to go on vacation. I don’t think too many people put Virginia Beach right up there with Nashville or the Hollywood Strip when it comes to a booming music scene. Yet, there is a rumbling going on in the underground music scene and it’s from a band approaching the edge of breakthrough and that band is Pillbuster.

Ladies and gentlemen, and fellow appreciators of great music, I give you Mindset Evolution.

DevilDriver works hard, rocks harder, and kicks ass all the way - from their albums to their shows. This band does not take rocking lightly. It is heavy and heavy as we like it. They recently revealed the track listing for their new effort Winter Kills, and the RockRevolt staff went ape shit. We await with baited breath for the album that releases August 27th. So excited were we that we tracked down lead singer Dez to get to the root of the album.

What’s in a name? More specifically, what’s in a band’s name? Well, sometimes there’s a science behind it and sometimes you just pull it out of a hat. John Rzeznik and his crew needed a name change back “in the day” as promoters were having a hard time promoting his band the Sex Maggots. Instead of pulling a name out of a hat, they pulled it out of a True Detective magazine in an ad for a goo goo doll. To this day, John wished he would have had five more minutes to pick a better name.
