The Progressive Powerhouse, known as Symbolic, recently were direct support for Resurrection Kings at Brick by Brick, and were part of an amazing night of Rock and Metal. Symbolic are five musicians who have no problem laying a heavy groove for you to attach yourself too. Complicated structured songs but with a very rhythmic underlying […]
The Darkness arrived into San Diego for one of the few SoCal shows since they had formed the band and it was the fist chance I had to be able to catch up with them in a long while. They came to packed crowd at The House of Blues on the second night of their […]
“Generation Me” is the third full length album from British hard rockers “The Treatment”. I imagine these guys are a must see live; all the songs are injected with Monstrous Guitar Riffs and memorable choruses which are what great songs are made of.

KING’S X King’s X has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them on the album Gretchen goes to Nebraska. Gretchen prompted me to run out and pick up their debut album, Out of the Silent Planet, which I found nearly as amazing, as well as every album the band has released since. I […]

When watching them play […]
