This year, Hollywood, CA’s own ART OF SHOCK has been chosen for the prestigious honor. Vans Warped Tour founder and producer Kevin Lyman states, “I’m glad to have ART OF SHOCK out on the grill and on stage this year!”
Spence first got on our radar a little over a year ago when we realized they were personally out and about pounding the pavement and getting people excited about their music and brand. The band members were actively seeking out people in the biz and inviting them to listen and to come to a show. Now, that doesn't make them extraordinary. No. Many bands do that. What Spence had was charisma and charm…and persistence. They were good at making sure that people that were remotely close to their venues were aware of their tour and personally invited them to come out. They reminded us over and over again where they were, and made sure that we were there to hang with them and have a drink. Dedication and persistence.

Ever since 2008, this New Jersey band has been working tediously to keeping punk alive. Influenced by everyone in between Bobby Fuller and Blink-182, they keep the aggressiveness, but infuse it with choruses and a guitar riff that sets up shop in your head, and refuses to leave.
Here at RockRevolt Magazine, we can get very choosy about who we want to nominate as an Indie Band of The Week. We were at a loss. Who should take this coveted position? It was business as usual today, until The Sammus Theory popped up on our radars, and it was like the sky had opened and answered our question!
The collective members of As I Lay Dying have released an official press statement about their band mate, Tim Lambesis,...
Per their Facebook page bio "Some roots never die, no matter how they are cut." There has never been a statement that rings so true. This band, Stardog Champion, features members from Breaking Benjamin, Lifer and The Drama Club. Comprised of Aaron Fink, Mark James, Josh Karis, and Nick Coyle, Stardog Champion are no strangers to this fickle music business. They've been here. They live it. They've been in the thick of it. Now, they have regrouped and made a new band, by piecing together their cumulative years of talent to make Stardog Champion. Because of their perseverance, their drive and passion, regardless of their past, they are going to take it to the next level, all whilst boasting an independent status. Oh – and did I mention they rock?! They have therefore been nominated this week's RockRevolt Indie Band of the Week.
A Sound of Thunder seemingly came out of nowhere in 2012 with their album Out of the Darkness: an album that was highly praised by critics and fans alike. It was a musical kaleidoscope containing shades of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and Warlock. To tide fans over while working on their follow-up album, the band released an EP entitled Queen of Hell. That just intensified the anticipation for that follow-up album. Well, that wait is almost over. The band is prepared to unleash the next chapter in the story of A Sound of Thunder.
Once in a while in this crazy world of music, a band comes along that makes you not only do a double take, but a double listen. That is a common reaction when one discovers the band Stolen Babies. In an oversaturated musical sea of vanilla tones, this band has come along with a huge dose of musical sprinkles to offer us something that defies genre and provides an overload for all senses. This type of a band is a rarity in music these days and deserves to be investigated further. Upon one listen to the newest album Naught, I knew I had to delve deeper into the musical mystery of this band Stolen Babies.
