Davenport Cabinet featuring Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria) release lyric video for Aneris

Davenport Cabinet which first began as a solo project of Coheed and Cambria guitarist, Travis Stever has grown into a full band endeavor. With the release of their third album, Damned Renegades they have been gaining a lot of well deserved high praises. The album was released on Equal Vision Records and is available through MerchNOW and digital retailers such as iTunes,Amazon and more. Davenport Cabinet have released a lyric video for their song, Aneris off the album. Check it out here:

The album takes you on an amazing musical journey and Stever reveals about the album, “Damned Renegades is a very personal record, lyrically and sonically. My relationship with the album was much like that of a mad scientist and his experiment. While writing it, I was anxiously awaiting becoming a new father and focused all of that excitement and energy into the music. As much as I wanted to just center on preparing for the birth, I felt that I needed to record the music we were creating first. The rest of the Davenport guys very willingly came along with me for the ride, adding in their own music styles and flavors all over the record. The record stretches all over musically, showcasing the diversity that lies within the Cabinet.”

Stever adds, “Damned Renegades finds Davenport Cabinet exactly where I have always wanted it musically. With Tyler, Tom, and Mike, I was able to achieve the full band sound and group interaction I’ve always wanted with the project. I couldn’t be more proud of this record.” It really is a beautiful musical gem of alternative, classic and indie rock that you have to check out.

Davenport Cabinet have announced a couple upcoming shows:

• Nov 26 Warwick, NY @ Tuscan Café
• Nov 29 Blairstown, NJ @ Historic Blairstown Theatre

The Bad Suns release powerful new video for their infectious song, Salt

The Bad Suns from Southern California just released their new video for their song, Salt. It is an amazingly powerful and impressive video. The song has a great uptempo uplifting vibe and yet carries such depth through the dark lyrics. The video truly brings those lyrics to life as it takes you on a tumultuous journey through a young transgender eyes as he struggles with gender identity. It is such a great video that I absolutely love! Check it out here:

The song is off their debut album, Language and Perspective which was released earlier this year. You can head over to iTunes here and pick it up. Bad Suns will soon be announcing dates for their headline tour of 2015 and I can’t wait to see them again.

SomeKindaWonderful perform at legendary Fillmore in San Francisco opening for New Politics

SomeKindaWonderful are currently entertaining crowds across the country with their genre-bending music that injects energy into every listener and brings them to life.  They are currently out on the 34 date US Fall tour opening for New Politics and Bad Suns.  This past weekend, they made a stop in San Francisco and performed at the legendary Fillmore.  It was amazing to see finally catch this band live. SomeKindaWonderful is:

• Jordy Towers – Vocals/lyrics
• Matt Gibson – Guitar
• Ben Schigel – Drums
• Justin Andres – Bass/Keys

These five are pure entertainment when they hit the stage. You cannot categorize them simply by placing them in a genre checkbox, they bring so many great elements of alternative, rock, hip hop, soul, grunge and so much more. Their refreshing sound will become true music to your ears as they jump start your love of all music. The crowd went wild at the Fillmore and even more so when they performed their hit, Reverse which is a love story gone wrong – written chronologically backwards.  “I don’t think anyone’s ever written a song backwards before,” Jordy explains about writing Reverse. “It was the first song we wrote together as a band, the night we met; that was the song we wrote and we didn’t even know each other. We met in the bar writing that song. It kind of set the tone for us. Before we even thought of putting out a single or doing anything…that was our song.” Each member stands out on the stage with their magnetic personalities exhibiting captivating stage presence. For an opening band, you could not have asked for anything more as they really pumped up the crowd and started the night off right.  We had the chance to interview them before their set and are going to be bringing that to you later this week. Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

We recently brought you our review of Cyanotic‘s amazing set as they stopped in to San Francisco on their Terminatour. It is reposted below in case you missed it. But first check out the interview that we did with Cyanotic after their set at the DNA Lounge.

It is great to hear their perspective on the music scene as well as how we can keep it strong and alive. They have some great words of wisdom in relation and are definitely worthy of your attention. Make sure to check the dates below that remain on the “TerminaTour” and get yourself to a show. We have to keep the music scene alive and the best way to do that, is to get yourself to a show and support these great musicians.It is time to treat yourself to the angry robot noises.

11/07: St. Louis, MO @ The Crack Fox

* * * * *  REVIEW REPOST * * * * *

Sunday night in San Francisco was an awesome one. While many were watching the SF Giants shut out the Kansas City Royals in game 5 of the World Series, we were excited to be at the Termintour at the Above DNA Lounge. We were blown away by The Rabid Whole and you can read more about them here.  But the magic of the music didn’t end there, Cyanotic came out and completely dominated the DNA as they unleashed their angry robot noises to the crowd. It was fierce and their style of music can be described as part electronic rock blended with punk angst vocals and sprinkled with aggressive metal. Just the right recipe to create the most intense music that will satisfy your need for ear porn! Cyanotic still stands to be one of the most innovative bands to blend genres together and form their own signature sound. Their music have inspired so many to follow suit and create their own fusion of music.

The powerful vocals of Sean have the right balance of punk angst and an air of rage that just seizes you and captures your full attention. Chris comes out and is amazing on stage, it is as if he is possessed by the guitar gods! He is completely “in the zone” as his blazing out riffs and stomping on stage, he can stop you dead in your tracks with his eyes! Jordan is the electronic genius as he is holding everything together with synths and samples while still displaying an energetic stage presence. Cyanotic is definitely part man/part machine and you too must hear their angry robot noises. Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

Cyanotic is:

• Sean Payne: Vocals, Samples, Drums
• Chris Hryniewieck: Guitars
• Jordan Davis: Synths, Samples, Drums

Falling Through April deliver a straight up bad ass set at Regency Ballroom

This past week we were at The Regency Ballroom for the Adelita’s Way and The Pretty Reckless show at The Regency Ballroom. I was unfamiliar with the opening band, Falling Through April but that has since changed! After catching their high energy and rockin set, I am definitely hooked. They have an alternative rock style that just captured the crowd from start to finish. Their music has hints of a pop punk style yet with a much more refined rock edge, almost like a blend of early Escape the Fate and AFI.  It is refreshing to see a band forge ahead with their own unique sound and not follow the cookie cutter bands that seemed to perfectly fit into a genre or subgenre checkbox. These guys also have great stage presence as they won over the crowd at The Regency.

Falling Through April are from Charlotte, NC and have been around since 2011. I am bummed I haven’t heard of them sooner but am glad I do now. It was nice to see how they immediately warmed up the crowd and everyone seemed to have found their new favorite band on that stage. Check out the photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan:

Falling Through April is:

• Matt Carlson – Vocals
• Jim Siani – Guitar
• Dan Candia – Guitar, Backing Vocals
• Dave Piontek – Bass, Backing Vocals
• Taylor Foster – Percussion

Upcoming Tour Dates:

• Oct 11   House of Blues Anaheim              Anaheim, CA
• Oct 12   House of Blues San Diego             San Diego, CA
• Oct 15   Vinyl @ Hard Rock Hotel               Las Vegas, NV
• Nov 07  Brooklyn Arts Center      Wilmington, NC
• Nov 09  Amos’ Southend              Charlotte, NC

I hope they make it back to California soon. You can also pick up their full length album from 2012, Take Flight on iTunes. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. I will leave you with a couple videos from their San Francisco set.
