Them Evils set to tour with Pop Evil, appearing on Shiprocked Cruise

Them Evils set to tour with Pop Evil,
appearing on Shiprocked Cruise.

Southern California based Them Evils are heading back out on tour to kick off the New Year in direct support for Pop Evil.  Along the way they will be setting sail on the Shiprocked Cruise, where two live performances are slated.  The band continues to promote their “Rollin’ Stoned and Livin’ Free” EP as they add the track “Practice What You Preach to their live shows and put the finishing touches on a new song to be released in the late 1st quarter of 2019. The band played more than 100 dates in 2018, including a national tour with stops at Welcome To Rockville, Carolina Rebellion, and main stage @ Rock On The Range.

Them Evils had a breakout year in 2018 with 1st single and video “Got Me Rockin‘”, which premiered @ Loudwire. Key playlist adds including Spotify Rock Hard, & Riffsplaylists, Alternative Press Discover, and Loudwire Wired WeeklyApple Music Breaking Hard RockPandora New Rock channelGoogle Play Music Rock Hotlist and Hard Rock Hotlist radio, and Slacker radio New Rock Now helped the band gain momentum.  Press looks have included Kerrang, LoudwireAXS, Rock Revolt, Alternative Addiction and others that added to the bands critical acclaim.

Them Evils’ late-night joyride through Rock N’ Roll’s seedy underbelly was born in the shadows of neon vice and nocturnal living in Las Vegas, when Jordan and Jake met in High School.  They started writing and playing together and knew that they had a chemistry that was undeniable. In 2013 they made the move to Southern California to pursue their music professionally – with nothing to fall back on other than their drive and belief in their music and each other. They connected with David through a friend that worked at a bar with Jordan and who knew they were looking for a permanent drummer. Delaney auditioned for Griffin and Massanari, and all 3 knew it was a good fit immediately. The nasty energy befitting their name grew from there.

Inspired by equal parts of rock giants like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Queens of The Stone Age, among others, the band pays tribute to their roots while carving out their own unique sound.  Them Evils music is at times throwback without being too derivative and is thoroughly modern. “We pretty much made our own scene,” Griffin says. “We started out doing straight up rock and roll, and that’s what we’re still doing… That said, we’re always evolving.”

The band has previously released Two EPs: their debut Cold Black Love (2015) and the self-titled Them Evils (2016). They made inroads @ Active Rock Radio in 2017 with “She Got Nothin“, which peaked @ #22 on the BDS Rock Indicator chart.

They were born for the stage and have been road warriors for the past 4 years – the band have caught the ear of no less an icon than Zakk Wylde, who had them open for Zakk Sabbath in 2017.  They regularly does Club tours, as well as toruing with The Pretty Reckless, Alter Bridge, Red Sun Rising, and 10 Years, among others. The band plans to continue touring, with breaks to finish recording additional new music to be released in the latter part of 2019.

High On Fire Canceles “Electric Messiah Tour 2019” Due to Medical Emergency

HIGH ON FIRE CANCELS “ELECTRIC MESSIAH TOUR 2019”
DUE TO MEDICAL EMERGENCY

High On Fire will not participate in the 2019 “Electric Messiah Tour” sponsored by Revolver Magazine. Fans can refund their tickets through the point of purchase.

This is an unfortunate blow as I was wanting to see them again as well as hearing some of their latest Electric Messiah live.  The album was listed as one Rocked’s Top 10 Best Albums of 2018.

Here’s hoping Matt can get back on his feet soon and push forward for festival season.  Frontman Matt Pike has provided a statement:

“Dear Friends and fans,
To my brothers, my crew, and anyone else this affects. I do apologize for the inconvenience of this cancelation. I feel as though I’m explaining lightning striking twice. I wanted nothing more in the world to play these songs live, nor ever cancel something I say I’m gonna do.
“I am a warrior for our art, and have endured some painful things to what we do. The timing and repeating nature of this is my nightmare and almost impossible. Nevertheless, to save yet another toe, my big one, I have been grounded by circumstances out of my control. I will have more of a medical report to come but right now I’m at great risk of losing it, and/or a bigger portion of my foot due to Diabetes. Which I have been managing very well.
“It just shows how this disease can affect our lives. Please forgive me, and if you know anything about me, you know this is not like me. We will be back!”

We are all big fans of Demi. We’ve tried to @ her on Twitter but to no avail! So we took the logical next step and made a video devoted to winning her attention.

“I, like many people in our generation today, have a tremendously terrible time falling asleep at a decent hour,” said singer Cody Carson. “I find myself lying awake in my bed and reflecting on so many things at once that sometimes they overlap and attack me. The good, the bad, the what could have been, the what should have been… they are very present. This song is about learning to deal with these thoughts and feelings, not letting them consume you and just living with it. Somethings you cannot control, you just have to tolerate it.”

Before that, the band shared the  music video for the upbeat and effervescent new track “Lonely Dance.” Watch the clip, which takes place on a spaceship and features the band as astronauts, here.

Midnight was produced by Mike Green (Neck Deep, All Time Low, State Champs) with additional production by Brandon Paddock (Panic! At the Disco, Papa Roach, The Used, Daughtry).

Carson played clarinet and guitarist Dan Clermont played trumpet on the record, while the band also incorporated live strings, live horns, and a live gospel choir into the album. Midnight also includes intricate, instrumental features by Reel Big Fish’s Matt Appleton and Issues’ Skyler Accord, as well as a vocal feature by Wayfarers.

Official Announcement

Buckcherry announces leg one of their Warpaint North American tour today. The tour begins in Sacramento on March 6th to coincide with the March 8th worldwide release of their new full-length album Warpaint. Leg one will cover markets in the U.S as well as Western Canada. Support on leg one will be provided by Roadrunner Records’ artist Joyous Wolf. Leg two will run from the end of May through September. VIP experiences will be available for all shows and can be purchased at Buckcherryvip.com.

“After spending all fall recording our new album Warpaint, we are excited to play these new songs along with all of the Buckcherry favorites on the road throughout all of 2019,” states Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd.

Dates for leg one are below. For more information on the band’s upcoming tour dates, fans can visit Buckcherry’s website.

Joyous Wolf is a Rock band from Southern California formed in 2014 by vocalist Nick Reese, guitarist Blake Allard, bassist Greg Braccio, and drummer Robert Sodaro. Reese and Sodaro met on their first day of 6th grade during student orientation. They went to different high schools where Sodaro would go on to befriend Braccio. During that time Reese, by chance, met Allard in the acoustic room at Guitar Center where they would jam CCR’s “Born on the Bayou”. There was an immediate dynamic between the two that ultimately led to an exchange of information. Months later Reese reached out to both Sodaro and Allard with the interest of starting a new project with them. Braccio would soon follow suit.

In the waning months of 2014 early jam sessions would yield the foundation of what Joyous Wolf has become. Fusing together influences ranging from Heavy Metal to Delta Blues, Joyous Wolf creates an expressive, high-energy fingerprint that separates themselves from their contemporaries in the realm of Modern Rock.

Top 10 BEST Albums Of 2018

A countdown of the best albums from rock, metal, alternative and beyond in 2018!

Ice Nine Kills Premiere New Song & Video “Merry Axe-Mas”

ICE NINE KILLS + REVOLVER PREMIERE
NEW SONG + VIDEO “MERRY AXE-MAS”

Ice Nine Kills and Revolver have teamed up to premiere the delightfully devious, holiday ‘n’ horror themed new song and video “Merry Axe-Mas.” Watch the video game and slasher-inspired clip here and here.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is one of my all time favorite slasher flicks,” says singer Spencer Charnas. “In our song and video for, ‘MERRY AXE-MAS,’ I wanted to pay tribute to the film’s brilliant combination of sleaze, holiday cheer, absurdity, and vicious gore. Released in 1984 at the height of the ’80s slasher craze, the film’s axe wielding Santa marketing campaign threw uptight parents and the PC police into an unholy rage.”

He furthered, “Angered families staged protests in front of theaters and PTA groups across the country petitioned for the film’s banishment. Tri Star pictures subsequently caved and SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT was pulled from theaters after only one week.

However, all the negative publicity only fueled the forbidden fruit factor and the infamous film quickly gained cult status. This story just goes to show you that if you try and suppress something, it’s only more likely to rear its (decapitated) head.”

Ice Nine Kills’ The Silver Scream is out now. The album bowed impressively in October, with nearly 19,000 units sold in its first week.

Black Coffee Announce Addition of New Bass Player, Nick Fratianne

Columbus, OH based Bluesy Rock Band BLACK COFFEE
has announced the addition of a new bass player to their line-up, Nick Fratianne.

To introduce the new member, the band released a hilarious new video filmed and created by John Payne of Payne Productions.

“We’re all super happy to have Nick on board with Black Coffee, not only is he a very close friend but also one of the best bassists in Columbus, I’m most excited to see what crazy shit Ehab comes up with now that he doesn’t have to worry about the bass!” – Tommy

“I’ve known Nick forever, he helped introduce me to my first tastes of classic hard rock as well as being a band mate in my formative years of music, we’re super pumped to have him in the Black Coffee family and to see how his talents can help push us even further!” – Ehab

Black Coffee has also announced that they will be performing at both Epicenter Festival in Rockingham, NC (5/10-5/12) and Sonic Temple Music and Arts Festival in Columbus, OH (5/17-5/19)!

Black Coffee formed in early 2017 after drummer Tommy McCulloughintroduced singer|bassist, Ehab Omran, to guitarist Justin Young. Within the first few days, these artists began songwriting and the chemistry was overwhelmingly apparent.

With the release of Black Coffee’s debut album, Take One, on April 21st, the Columbus, Ohio rockers definitely possess the sound, style, confidence and work ethic to drive this album’s success. The original single, “I Barely Know Her,” is already available on all streaming services, and its accompanying video debuts Friday, April 20th.

Fans can expect a diverse selection of original music. From the raw and dominant 1st single to the blistering, “Hurricane,” and funky, “Monica,” . . . along with otherworldly, “The Traveler,” and drive-with-the-top-down classic,“Born To Lie,” Take One proves to be one of the most exciting musical debut’s in modern history.

Black Coffee combines superb musicianship with a high-energy performance that is refreshingly both vintage and ground-breaking. This three-piece collaboration takes inspiration from classic rock bands of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, and fuses it with the root music of blues and rock n’ roll from the 40’s and 50’s. Dedicated to re-inventing modern rock music, Black Coffee parts the proverbial sea for the next generation of artists.
