Rocklahoma

May is upon us my friends that means it's time for rock festivals! These festivals are some of the largest events in America, the crowds at these concerts are enormous and so full of energy that I can't even describe the feeling. The concert I'd like to focus in this post is one of the largest 3 day music festivals in the entire nation, that's right I'm talking about...

New Albums!

Let the countdown to summer begin! Since its almost that time of year it provides bands a sense of urgency to put out new albums to promote for their upcoming tours, this is known as concert season!

It's critical for bands to put out a quality group of songs during this time so they can generate the maximum amount of revenue for their events. So I wanted to share with my viewers some of the most anticipated releases that are coming out right before concert season officially kicks off!

April 14th

I've posted about Halestorm in the past and the time has finally arrive after 3 long years for a new album! They produced four great singles to introduce the record Mayhem, I am the Fire, Amen, and Apocalyptic. The link below is to their album, I recommend tracks 3,10,13,14 plus any of the singles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm7DsxqYEjc

May 12

It's been a few years since Hinder was last on the rock scene.

 Over the past couple years the landscape of the band has changed to a certain degree because the lead singer Austin Winkler had to leave the band due to health issues and entered himself into rehab while the band carried on. Now the band is moving in a new direction with a new lead vocalist Marshal Dutton but using the same familiar sound us rockers love from the band. Definitely check out the album next month! Click the link to listen to their new single.

June 23

This is one of the most anticipated albums of the summer for me! Breaking Benjamin has produced an album since 2009, so they're motivated to put themselves back on the map with all the other great rock bands. Many people can relate to their music

because of the time and thought that goes into their lyrics,

they've done a great job in the past using different 

the tempos in their songs so some are harder rock than others. Dark Before Dawn should be well worth the wait! Click on the link below to preview their new album with their new single  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDzE3lY9CII

Comment below on what albums are your looking forward to coming out this summer, enjoy everyone!

 

Dosage of the "Double X Chromosome"

Just wanted to share with the viewers some of the collaborations these bands have made. All you fellas out there I know you'll appreciate these ladies and girls give your fellow sisters the props they deserve, both bands are class act performers!

Girls Are on The Rise

          We all remember the 80's bands with a woman as lead-vocal like Heart, and Pat Benatar, they've set the tone for aspiring girl rock musicians. Over the past 15 years there just hasn't been many other bands that can come close to compare. But there are a few now that are starting to hear some rumble about. I wanted to dedicate this post to all the girl musicians that know how to hang with the big boys!

HALESTORM

          Lead by front woman Lizzy Hale, Halestorm has only been around for a short period of time and they have already accomplished some incredible achievements. In 2013 Halestorm's single Love Bites (So do I) was nominated for the Grammy Best Hard Rock Metal/ Performance, they not only were nominated but THEY WON! The band has only been relevant since 2009 but are making huge strides. The best part is this is only the beginning for them, Halestorm hasn't even come close to hitting their peak yet. I'm AMPED for the release of their 3rd studio album "Into the Wild Life" on April 14th and they will hitting the road promoting this album next month and they are even performing in Kansas City, Missouri on May 30th at Liberty Memorial. Halestorm will blow you away!

THE PRETTY RECKLESS

         The Pretty Reckless is down same path Halestorm took to stardom. Fun Fact: the lead singer Taylor Momsen most of have seen her before. She is not only a musician but she was a child actor as well. Remember the move The Grinch Staring Jim Carrey? Taylor played Cindy Lou Who! Who would've ever guessed that Cindy Lou Who loved to melt faces with her music in her spare time. But more power to her, The Pretty Reckless are making a name for themselves quickly! They have only been together since 2010 and only 2 studio albums, the only way for this band to go is up. They created a huge buzz in the rock genre as a whole and continue to set themselves apart from the rest. They will be performing with Halestorm at Liberty Memorial, everybody should go check them out they are definitely worth the money!
