Read all about the eclectic, wild mix of mayhem that is...The Coney Island Rock N' Roll Roadshow!
13 is an unlucky number for some, but apparently not for Blackbox13 and their mini-album Army Of None. When listening to it you have to consider that the four piece aren’t out to re-invent the wheel; it’s just plain hard rock - pretty damn fine hard rock.
Plato said, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle.”International rock artist Manafest knows the saying well. His uphill climb began at age five when his father committed suicide. Years of childhood insecurity and fear gave way to a promising skateboarding career, but then an injury took that away too. Music soon filled the void, and it would prove to be a perfect fit. Putting words to driving rhythms gave him a way to be a visible light for other people wrestling with their own junk: strained relationships, betrayals, loss, broken dreams. He knew plenty about getting through the past and working toward the future. “I’m always there to give you the don’t-give-up message,” he says in a quiet offstage voice that balances out his amped up live presence.
Let’s get one thing sorted from the get go, this is not rock'n'roll, but GODDAM it is some cool shit! There is so much to take in and grab hold of here that fans of all styles, especially progressive rock/metal, will find something to latch onto and obsess over.
With Atreyu on what is seemingly an indefinite hiatus and with none of these “Surprise, we’re back” tours that always spread like a plague amongst bands that just can’t call it quits, drummer Brandon Saller has gone out on his own and created new band: Hell or Highwater. They’ve taken what his previous band started, and rocktified the shit out of it on debut album Begin Again.
Sometime ago in rural California, five male bodies were discovered in an open field, murdered, disemboweled and laid out, waiting...
Promising to be raw, emotional and interactive, Justin Furstenfeld, vocalist/songwriter/guitarist for the Platinum-selling rock band Blue October, will kick off a 24-date solo/acoustic tour "An Open Book: An Evening With Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October" on April 4 at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA. The shows, all presented in intimate settings, will consist of spoken word, a Q&A session, and an acoustic set of songs never before heard, as well as stripped down and softer versions of Blue October fan-favorites.
Hell or Highwater, the Orange County rock band founded by Atreyu's Brandon Saller, is the project that keeps Saller stimulated and creative. They tore apart the UPROAR Festival this past summer, and this year they continue building on that momentum, as they tour alongside The Darkness. RockRevolt Magazine was fortunate to squeeze in a quick interview with Brandon while he pushes forward on the last leg of this tour.
If you are like me, you hate it when people say rock and roll is dead. It’s a genre that...
The current active rock and radio rock scene might be heavily populated at the moment, but the Cleveland, Ohio based quartet that goes by the name of Concordia, has something to offer quite a few bands don’t. Not only do they have solid rock songs played with top notch ability, they have a vocalist in Eric Emery that has that “voice” that makes them stand out from the crowd! It is easy to appreciate Emery’s strong vocal presence found on the band’s debut album, Clarity of Perception, but it is when you hear him sing the songs in their truest acoustic form that you know the singer has that “special voice.”
Sevendust, Coal Chamber, Lacuna Coil and Candlelight Red delivered an incredible night of heaviness to Pop's Nightclub in Sauget, IL. Rock Revolt® Magazine photographer Thomas Woroniak was there to capture the action.
