The highly anticipated new album Golden from rockers Delta Rose is out now! This is one album that is well worth the wait! You can pick up your copy by vi visiting their website: http://www.deltaroseusa.com/. This past year it seemed that many things were said about Rock n Roll, from it being dead, or no new bands, etc. Well you can forget about all that! Rock n Roll is alive and thriving and when you take a listen to the new album from Delta Rose, you will strongly agree with me. They have such a welcoming sound that you just can’t wait to tell all your friends about them.

Earlier this year, Delta Rose had the great honors of opening for Guns n Roses  at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. They delivered a top notch set and have everyone leaving the venue, knowing who Delta Rose is! They always perform a kick ass set and Delta Rose is one of the best live bands out there. They are such a young band but have showmanship that is well beyond their years. While many young bands are out there creating music that sounds as if it is a carbon copy of eachother, Delta Rose is creating their own style of music. It is pure blues and rock n roll and it is addictive.

Check out their song, One Is Too Many which is off their new album, Golden :

 

To all the people who are crying out for new music and to bring rock and roll back to the forefront, Delta Rose is the answer to your rock and roll prayers. Their new album shows how much this band has grown in 7 years, each one perfecting their own art and have mastered their own style. As I have said before, You can feel the passion in their songs as one message rings true…. These boys are ready to ROCK! Check their site for more details and upcoming show dates. Check out the slide show of photos from Rockin Ryan from their Troubadour set here:

From the studio to the band, there is quite an amazing amount of talent put into this stellar album. The album was recorded at the legendary NRG Studios, mixed by Steve Hardy (Blue October, Vertical Horizon, Joe Bonamassa, and many more), mastered by iconic Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Ramones, Pantera, and many, many more). The album is produced by Bill Schleifer and Isaac Hasson. It truly is a work of art and we are even treated to Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dizzy Reed (Guns n Roses) who plays keyboards on their song 10 Long Years.

The album is filled with smoking guitar solos, cool group chants, vibrant blues licks, solid drumming, infectious basslines and the most captivating and edgy yet sweet as honey vocals you will ever hear.  Delta Rose’s new album has definitely polished and perfected true rock and roll.

So pick up your copy and make sure to pick up a few extra copies for all your rocker friends this holiday season. It is time to spread the Delta Rose love. Make sure to visit their social media sites and I will leave you with some of our video interviews with Delta Rose.

We Are Harlot just finished their second performance ever and it was in front of thousands of screaming fans at Rocklahoma. Not bad for their second show right?  This is a band 3 years in the making and they have definitely created quite a stir as everyone anxiously awaits their new music.  We Are Harlot just released their first single, Denial  and has had everyone talking. If you don’t have it yet, make sure you head over to their website: weareharlot.com and get your FREE DOWNLOAD. It is the perfect summer song for you to crank up loud.  Anyway, in the past we have featured Jeff George several times, he was our Day 1 of 12 Days of Guitarists  and we have featured our Interview with Jeff George here, Interview with Brian Weaver, bassist and now it is time to get to know the man behind the drums, Bruno Agra.

We are pleased to bring you our interview with Bruno Agra here:

* * * * * * * * * * *

Music Junkie Press:  Thanks for taking the time to talk with us here at Music Junkie Press. Congratulations on your We Are Harlot shows at Rock on the Range and Rocklahoma, we heard they were both great sets! Now you are off to perform in Vegas, can you tell us about that upcoming show and what fans might expect?

Thank you so much. Yes they were both INSANE gigs, super fun, our audience had a blast and so did we. We decided to start small ha ha! We played in front of 35,000 at ROTR and 40,000 at Rocklahoma. It’s like when Mick Taylor joined the Stones and his first gig was at Hyde Park for 60,000 people. Not really but…, yeah we definitely went through the grinder.

When your band has been building up this huge hype and everyone in the industry’s been talking about you for 3 years is one thing; the other is to live up to that hype; and on top of that you have 35,000 kids screaming,

first gig….

I mean, it was really really intense but we all handled it pretty well imo. We are lucky to work with the best people on the planet. I can say first hand that Harlot is a family, not just the band but everyone involved. And we are so thankful that every single person that works with us were there to see our first show at ROTR. It was a life changing event, very powerful. We decided to go onstage and salute all the fans for being there before we started playing. Like a big “Thank You”. It was a cathartic, purifying moment. HUGE. As soon as we kicked with Denial it was ON!!!

Now we’ll play for the 700 fans that are coming to see us and Pretty Reckless in Vegas and it’s going to be as wild as it gets. And we got a BIG surprise for the fans for this gig.

Music Junkie Press: That sounds absolutely amazing! With doing back to back festivals in the past couple weeks, that is a lot of road traveled, what were some of your highlights?

 I mean it was ABSOLUTELY insane. If I wrote the highlights here there would be 2 ways to go: 1st) everyone would think we are lying; or 2nd) our lawyer would get a ton of extra work. “The Dirt” or “Walk This Way”, it’s all in there. We are not reinventing the wheel.

Music Junkie Press: Well we don’t want to spill any secrets out so we will continue on. How old were you when you started playing drums? Have drums always been what you wanted to play or do you play any other instruments?

When I was 5 years old I wanted to be a professional dancer. I loved to dance, and rhythm has always been my thing, specially coming from Brazil. Brazil, particularly RIO, where I am from, is the land of rhythm and PARTY, hands down. That’s where Carnival’s at, do I have to say anything else? So, I was very fortunate to be raised in such culturally rich environment where you can see so much; absorb so much. So drums was really an extension of my personality. I used to get thrown out of classes everyday at school for drumming with my pens. My pens, not my penis ha! I was a really good student cause I had A grades, but terrible at the same time. I used to raise hell at school, I had so much energy that the teachers wanted my parents to drug me, like take me to a specialist. I mean I am ADD to the MAX. So, cutting the story short, after I asked my mom for a drumset, and tried every single blackmail strategy a kid can pull off she gave me an acoustic guitar. I was kinda disappointed at first, but I learned to play very very quick, then I moved on to electric guitar. Some kids in my neighborhood were into rock too, so I just found a drummer and a bass player and we started playing right away – Ramones, Maiden, Metallica. That’s when I thought: “Holy F* man, that’s what I want to do for the rest of my life”. But then I started playing my drummer’s drumkit and I was better than him ha ha I had never had any lessons or anything but I mean, I could straight up play. Whatever song I had playing in my head I could immediately translate to the drumkit. So I said: “F* it! I’m gonna sell my guitar and amp and buy a drumkit”. My parents didn’t even know, I got someone to take me to this real dodgy place in Rio where they were selling this drumset for 100 bucks, including cymbals. That’s all I had, so it worked. From there I was officially a “drummer” even though I play guitar to this day. I graduated school when I was 16 and went straight to Computer Engineering school. It was fun for a moment – tons of hot chicks, drinking, drugs, all the good stuff, but it wasn’t my thing. Not to mention that I was already touring with my band, so I missed 70% of the classes. So I ended up dropping out of Computer Engineering and locked myself in my room for 6 months straight and learned how to read music and play piano by myself. I went completely nuts, I went vegan too for that period of time. I studied every composer I could find, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Brahms, Wagner, Sibelius, Debussy, Shostakovich, Villa-Lobos, etc…I went deep into classical music and in 6 months I got a scholarship at the best Classical Composition School in Rio and my teacher was (is, he is still alive) one of the greatest Brazilian Composers ever. This guy taught composition everywhere in the world, won the most important prizes, I mean, a total badass. So I studied classical music for 5 years straight and got my Bachelor degree in Composition. So yeah, my main instruments are Drums, Guitar and Piano.

Music Junkie Press: That is so great that you started young and how you were self taught We often receive many letters from young musicians who play drums and have switched over to bass or guitar because of complaints about their loud drumming. What advice would you give to young musicians who are stuck in that position and want to continue with their passion for drumming?

My advise: “NEVER GIVE A F* about anyone or anything. Be a selfish bastard and do what you love and be happy.” I had to go to court 3 times because of neighbors when I was underage, I got into a fistfight with one of my old neighbors once because he wouldn’t let me play. Hey if you are reading this – never give up playing drums for anything. Don’t feel sorry if everyone else wants to have a boring life. Play as loud as possible. Be happy.

Music Junkie Press: That is the best advise ever! What is your gear rundown ? kit, sticks, pedals, etc?

I play Tama Dums and Hardware – they’ve supported me from day one so I couldn’t be happier. It’s such an honor to be part of the Tama family. At the moment I’m playing a Superstar Hyperdrive, cause I love the deep bass drum 20″ x 22″ (+ 7″ x 12″ rack and 14″ x 16″ floor) + SLP 14″x6.5″ Black Brass snare. It’s a very edgy kit, great for live. Very snappy.

When we recorded the first 5 songs I tracked everything with a Starclassic Bubinga Birch. I played a 18″x24″ BD, 10″ x 13″ rack and 14″x14″; 14″x16″ and 16″ x 18″ floors.

We are going to finish the record soon – the other 8, 9 songs we haven’t tracked yet – and I’m planning on playing the same kit – the Starclassic Bubinga Birch. It’s just got that monster sound, that round attack and very warm rich resonance. Tune it right and you are in heaven. I love it.

I play 3A Vic Firth sticks and Remo Drumheads. And Tama Iron Cobra pedals/hardware.

Bruno

Music Junkie Press: Who were some of the most influential musicians for you growing up?

Being quarter English (My mum is half English) I grew up listening to The Who, The Beatles, Stones, and tons of brazilian music like Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, etc. If you ask me that’s as good as it gets. My favorite drummers are Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and John Bonham. I mean I could list you so many musicians/bands/composers I am influenced by I would have to write for a whole year…so let’s leave it at that.

Music Junkie Press: Can you tell us what was your first concert you went to?

My first concert was Megadeth – Countdown To Extinction tour. I was just a kid, I could NOT believe what I was seeing. Those guys looked like GODS onstage and they were playing the craziest music I’d ever heard right in front of me. What a line-up too, Mustaine, Menza, Ellefson and Friedman. Friedman – holy s* that guy can play. The choice of notes, it’s just mind blowing.

Music Junkie Press: If we could peak into your Ipod, what artist or song might we be most surprised at finding in there?

My iPod constantly changes. Every week I add new artists and bands that I’ve never heard, underground electronic, indie, pop, you name it. Some highlights over the past weeks: I love the new Foster The People record, it’s incredible. Really blew me away, cause I didn’t see it coming at all. The new Young The Giant is a great record too, very versatile and very musical. There’s a new band I just found not long ago called Walking Papers, they are BADASS. Love their album. I mean, there’s so much talent and good music out there. Besides Rock n’ Roll, I love old school funk, disco, motown, soul…Jackson 5, Prince, Sly and The Family Stone, Tim Maia, Kool And The Gang. Music that makes you wanna put a hawaiian shirt on and grab a Margarita.

Music Junkie Press: It is great to see the versatility in your love of music. I wish more would would follow that lead. When you are not making music or travelling, what are some of your favorite things to do?

I love to go to Starbucks or Coffee Bean – sit down, have a coffee and creep.

Music Junkie Press: After Vegas, what is in store for We Are Harlot, summer tour?

Well during summer we’ll probably be in the studio finishing our record to be honest. There will be a promo tour for the album and a big fall tour. The album comes out in the first week of September. That’s what’s in the pocket for now. There are much more details to it but I can’t say anything ha ha.., sorry I’m the bad guy. You guys will know very soon. Hang in there Harlot Army! We love you and we won’t let you down.

WeAreHarlot

Music Junkie Press: We will be ready! If you could put together your dream lineup, what three bands would you like We Are Harlot to play with?

The Big Four. Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Foo Fighters and We Are Harlot. Quick and Easy.

Music Junkie Press: That would the tour of the century! What are three things that you can tell us about you that you think people don’t already know?

1) I’m a total art geek. I love art in general – painters, plastic artists, indie movies, shorts, anything that gives me inspiration to go beyond the “wake up, take a shit, brush your teeth” kinda thing. You know, all the weird stuff that all that weird people like, I’m one of them.

2) I’ve composed some classical pieces, Symphony, String Quartets, Duos, Trios, Sonatas, Experimental Tape Music, Soundtracks for shorts, plays, etc. I mean it’s a little collection of pieces that have never been played, well, some of them. I’ve never really pursued the classical music world as my main thing, but I’m sure I will at some point when I’m old and senile. I’ll have a huge room with a piano made of Brazilian Bamboo and the temperature in the room will be 103 degrees constantly, 98% humidity. I’ll be eating pollen all day getting all crazy. And of course I’ll have 3 jaguars prowling around. And just noisy weird music blasting constantly. The mail guy will hate me, ha!

3) I love leopard print stuff and cats. My cats are the best: Monkey and Bowie. Monkey is a Maine Coon and Bowie is a “whatever”, calico with maine coon, I don’t know; she just looks crazy. I post pictures of them all the time on Instagram. They are the cutest.

Music Junkie Press: Lastly, is there anything else you would like to share with our audience?

Yes, I want to sincerely thank everyone out there that supported us throughout this crazy journey.  You guys don’t know how much we’ve been through to put this together and I can say that every message, tweet, or like you guys send us we check every single one of them and it means the world to us. The Harlot Army is growing fast and you guys are kicking so much ass it’s not even funny. You guys make us wake up every morning and give our very best; we give all we’ve got, every second. We love our fans and we’ll never let them down. Hang tight, the Harlot Train just started rolling…

Brian

We Are Harlot most recently made their debut at Rock on The Range this past Sunday and are set to perform at Rocklahoma this upcoming Saturday due to Trivium cancelling as per doctor’s orders. We Are Harlot just released their first single, Denial last week and has had everyone talking. Just this morning on my drive to take Brandon to school, as soon as we got in the car, Denial was playing on Octane. Of course Brandon was screaming out, “LOOK It is We Are Harlot!”… Ahhh the joy of having a rock n roll family.  Anyway, in the past we have featured Jeff George several times, he was our Day 1 of 12 Days of Guitarists  and we have featured our Interview with Jeff George here. Now it is time we get to know bassist, Brian Weaver.

We are pleased to bring you our interview with Brian Weaver here:

* * * * * * * * 

Music Junkie Press:  Thank you Brian for talking with us here at Music Junkie Press!  We heard you debuted at the Rock on the Range this past weekend, how was that for you, to finally make your We Are Harlot debut?

Brian: It was incredible! As I’m sure you know by now, Harlot has been 3 years in the making with tons of ups and downs just to get to this point of playing live for the first time. We wanted to really make a statement when people saw us for the first time and do it in the biggest way possible. And what better way to do that than at the biggest rock show in America than Rock On The Range! People were saying to us, ‘How about you guys do a couple warm up shows beforehand?’, and we said fuck that! This is how we want be introduced to the world. And it couldn’t have gone any better. The crowd was insane and our entire team was there watching side stage. Some had tears in their eyes. It was pretty special

Music Junkie Press: Next up is Rocklahoma, how did that come about?

Brian: We were literally just about to check out of our hotel in Columbus to start heading back to LA when we got a call asking if we wanted to do Rocklahoma on the way back. What happened was Trivium had to drop off the show for medical reasons and they needed a band to take the slot. Everyone there had heard the buzz about our show at ROTR and called to ask if we wanted to play. We said fuck yea! Let’s do it.

Music Junkie Press: We had the opportunity to catch you perform with your Silvertide bandmate Nick Perri at NAMM. You guys were awesome. NAMM is definitely the Disneyland for musicians! Can you tell us about your rig rundown?

Brian: Thanks! At NAMM this year year I was playing a Custom Perri Ink bass that Nick was debuting that he builds by hand and every instrument he makes is totally custom. Really great instruments. But generally I play Fender P basses and Jazz Basses. Ampeg Classic heads and 8×10 cabinets. And GHS strings. As far as pedals I keep it pretty simple. Sometimes I’ll use a Sans Amp to get a little extra grit and Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff if I want straight up distortion. I like the Bass Big Muff because you don’t lose any of the bottom end like you would on a classic Big Muff

Music Junkie Press: How old were you when you first starting playing bass?

Brian: 12. But I started out on guitar when I was 8 and then started playing some drums, then I graduated to bass.

Music Junkie Press: Can you remember what is the first song you learned in its entirety?

Brian: I honestly can’t remember the first song on bass but I feel like it was probably something by The Beatles or maybe even Zeppelin or Green Day. On guitar I think it was something silly that’s in those Mel Bay books because, you know, I was 8 haha. But the first rock song I learned was I think Losing My Religion by R.E.M

Music Junkie Press:  What were some of the most influential bands for you when growing up?

Brian: Zeppelin, The Beatles, ACDC, The Police, Pink Floyd. I also was really into a lot of Motown and R&B stuff. James Jamerson is my favorite bass player and he played on all that Motown stuff. In high school I had that book “Standing In The Shadows Of Motown” and I would practice sight reading his bass lines while playing along to the recordings

Music Junkie Press: If I could peak into your Ipod, what artist or song might I be most surprised at finding in there?

Brian: Probably a lot of old school jazz stuff or Rick Astley HA!

Music Junkie Press:  How about your work with Silvertide, we know that you have upcoming shows planned later in the year, will there be another Silvertide album in the works?

Brian: We’ve been talking recently about scheduling and when we can set up some shows. All of us are very busy with different things right now. For me personally, Harlot is about to get very busy with touring and the album dropping this year so  we just need to figure what works best for all of us. But my guess is maybe some time in the fall. As far as an album, last year we did record 5 songs for an EP and they are done. And we do plan on releasing them. But like anything else in this business, things take time and there’s a bunch of hoops to jump through. But we are in talks about scheduling a release.

Music Junkie Press: Here at Music Junkie Press, we are strong believers at how music can help, heal, inspire and so much more, can you share a story with our audience about a time when music most helped you?

Brian: I think it helps me everyday. If there’s anything fucked up going on or stress, when I’m playing or working on music it gets all that off my mind

Music Junkie Press: What advice can you give to young musicians who are struggling to maintain their musical identity in today’s industry where they might be encouraged to make their music fit a specific genre or the trending style of today? This is especially prevalent with young rock and roll artists who are often dissuaded about playing rock and going into a metal core, subgenre, etc.?

Brian: I think the best bands and artists are the ones that don’t sound like anyone else. And that’s what everyone should strive to do. What’s the point of doing something or sounding like everyone else into a specific genre. Do what you want to do and be passionate, but also strive to be unique

Music Junkie Press: If We Are Harlot was to become a comic book, what would everyone’s super hero name be and their super powers be?

Brian:  Well I for sure gotta go with our Emoji alter egos.

  • Danny- The Dragon- Fly and spit fire.
  • Jeff- The Wolf- A howl that makes your head explode.
  • Bruno- The Cat- Claws like Wolverine that can cut through anything and everyone
  • Me- The Snake- spit venom like battery acid and squeeze you to death with my bare hands
  • Those sound more like villains, but what the hell! Villains are cool

Music Junkie Press: Lastly, is there anything else you would like to share with our audience?

Brian: Yes, check out our first single ‘Denial’ at www.weareharlot.com where you can also sign up to get a free download. And tell your local radio stations to play it! And thanks to all the fans that have waited this long. You all rock!

* * * * * * * * 

So if you are going to Rocklahoma, make sure to catch them on the Hard Rock Stage on Saturday night at 8:30 pm.  Last week, We Are Harlot released their much anticipated new single, Denial. This was not only their first single, but gave their fans a true taste of what to expect from the upcoming We Are Harlot album. We Are Harlot is a band three years in the making and they must be quite proud of themselves to see their vision finally come to fruition.

The new single Denial is now available at www.weareharlot.com. It is a free download with an email sign up.  YES, it was worth the wait, Rock n Roll vocals, precision drumming, rousing bass, smoking guitars and sweet ass solo! These four guys have done a great job, congratulations guys! And Harlot Domination has begun! Check out the song here:

Due to doctor’s orders, TRIVIUM has had to cancel their performance at Rocklahoma this Saturday. Filling their slot at the festival will be We Are Harlot, coming off their debut, much talked-about performance at Rock On The Range this past weekend. The new project from Danny Worsnop (of Asking Alexandria), Jeff George (formerly of Sebastian Bach), Brian Weaver (of Silvertide) and Bruno Agra will perform on the Hard Rock Stage on Saturday night at 8:30pm.

* * * * *

So if you are going to Rocklahoma, make sure to catch them on the Hard Rock Stage on Saturday night at 8:30 pm.  Last week, We Are Harlot released their much anticipated new single, Denial. This was not only their first single, but gave their fans a true taste of what to expect from the upcoming We Are Harlot album. We Are Harlot is a band three years in the making and they must be quite proud of themselves to see their vision finally come to fruition.

Now let’s talk about the song itself. It starts off with a tease of a ballad through Danny’s smooth vocals and Bruno transitions us with his fierce drumming and Brian on his rousing bass into heavy ROCK N ROLL mode. The tempo is then kicked up a notch further as Jeff leads us into a full on guitar frenzy. One of my favorite highlights of the song is the chorus which I can only imagine the crowd at Rock on the Range singing along to. Jeff  then spoils us with a smoking solo that will have you drooling and begging for more. We are even treated to a bit of Danny’s signature growls so if you are even a smidgen of an Asking Alexandria fan, you will be pleased. Everything about the song is off the hook; harmonies, heavy bridge, riffs, even down to the whisper backing vocals during the pre-verse. One thing is for sure, the wait was definitely worth it.

The new single Denial is now available at www.weareharlot.com. It is a free download with an email sign up. f their first single. YES, it was worth the wait, Rock n Roll vocals, precision drumming, rousing bass, smoking guitars and sweet ass solo! These four guys have done a great job, congratulations guys! And Harlot Domination has begun! Check out the song here:

 

Congratulations to the boys in We Are Harlot for a well written, on point, perfectly executed rock and roll song. Get ready as We Are Harlot  (just as said in our Countdown of 14 Bands to Rule 2014) for them to dominate with their rock and roll.    In case you can’t make it out to Rocklahoma, come join Music Junkie Press as we head to Las Vegas, NV for their show on May 28th at Vinyl in the Hard Rock Hotel. They will be performing with The Pretty Reckless!

Get ready as We Are Harlot  (just as said in our Countdown of 14 Bands to Rule 2014) for them to dominate with their rock and roll.  They will be making their first ever debut at this year’s Rock on The Range. We asked the guys in We Are Harlot about the anticipation of their release and their debut at this week’s Rock on the Range Festival and here is what they had to say,

It’s been a long road getting this band to where it is now..and the four of us here together for this first show. But here we are… and now there’s no denying it! Rock n Roll needed a fucking facelift. And the fans of rock music around the world have screaming for change! And… Rock on the Range is the perfect place to start this revival. We have no album out. And the audience won’t know our songs.. But they will get it.. Because they are what it is all about! An army.. A Harlot Army! You’re gonna see four guys rip the roof off the place Sunday.. And that is only the beginning!

So if you are going to Rock on the Range, be prepared to watch history being made as We Are Harlot perform live for the first time as a band. They will be performing at the Ernie Ball stage on Sunday at 3:05. They will also be signing at the ESP Guitars Booth on Saturday at 3 pm. In case you can’t make it out to ROTR, come join Music Junkie Press as we head to Las Vegas, NV for their show on May 28th at Vinyl in the Hard Rock Hotel. They will be performing with The Pretty Reckless!
