Like Moths to Flames is one band that I have been waiting to catch live and last night, they lived up to and exceeded every expectation I had. These guys have such intense passion that shines right through their hardcore music. You can’t stand still as their energy charges the venue and ignites the crowd into a mosh/circle pit frenzy amid the continuous crowd surfing fans.

The Monster Energy Outbreak made a well deserved stop in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades and it was a night full of kick ass music. What was really special about the night was that each band had a great turnout of dedicated fans and you could definitely see that Like Moths to Flames had a really strong fanbase. It seemed that everywhere I turned, I could see fans proudly wearing their  LMTF shirts and merch. It is great to see the fans continuing to support their favorite bands and for getting out to a live show. It was a packed house and another sold out show.

Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

”We are very excited to launch the Loudwire Music Festival at Jam Ranch,” remarked Dhruv Prasad, Executive Vice President, Live Events for Townsquare Media. “Loudwire is one of our flagship brands–spanning broadcast radio, syndicated radio and a national website–so the addition of a live festival seemed a natural way to evolve the brand and deliver a great experience to rock music fans.”

We love the opportunities that festivals bring to music lovers. They are able to see many of their favorite bands in one weekend and it always opens them up to check out new bands. The experience at festivals is always a memorable one as you enjoy the bands, have a great time and make friends with the same music interest. Make sure to mark your calendar for this one so you can be part of their inaugural festival!

Festival-goers will have the option of a fully immersive weekend with the festival’s on-site camping selections.  Camping options range from standard (within walking distance to the festival grounds) starting at $95  to premier (the closest camping to the festival grounds) and VIP (campgrounds for VIP ticket holders only, close to festival grounds), starting at $180.

Weekend ticket options include General Admission weekend passes for $79. Reserved Seating starts at $225, and the VIP Seating & Experience starts at $400. Additional festival information, including ticketing and camping options, can be found here.

We will continue to bring you updates as the lineup and artists are announced. We will be marking the dates on our calendar so that we can bring you full coverage from the festival.

One of our definite highlights from this year’s Aftershock Festival was the closing set by Godsmack. This was the first time I have been able to catch Godsmack live and they blew myself and the crowd away. It was filled from front to back and even people holed up in the trees, trying to get a better look at the great stage setup and intense energy that Godsmack delivered through their set. Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan :

Godsmack closed out the 2014 Aftershock Festival and the setlist for the night is as follows:

  • 1000hp
  •  Cryin’ Like a Bitch
  • Locked and Loaded
  • Keep Away
  • Awake
  • Speak
  • Voodoo
  • Batalla de los Tambores
  • Whatever
  • I Stand Alone

If you don’t already have it, pick up their latest release, 1000 HP which definitely makes the statement; ROCK N ROLL IS NOT DEAD! Make sure to visit the social  media sites and stay up to date on their latest news. I will leave you with the video for their title track.

One of our featured Monster Energy Aftershock Bands was Young Guns. The London based rockers have been consistently grabbing everyone’s attention. We were very excited to see them performing at this year’s Aftershock Festival. They were amazing, they came out blazing with energy and got everyone revved up. I have been loving their most recent single, I Want Out which shot to No. 1 on the Tunes Rock Chart in the UK. Check out  a video for it:

The track is the first song from their upcoming new album which is set for a 2015 release and was recorded in Bath, England, produced by Steve Osborne (Joy Division, U2, Peter Gabriel) and mixed by Damian Taylor (Arcade Fire, Bjork, The Killers)

Band Members:

  • Gustav Wood – Vocals
  • John Taylor – Guitar
  • Fraser Taylor – Guitar
  • Simon Mitchell – Bass
  • Ben Jolliffe – Drums

We had the chance to chat with Ben Jolliffe, Simon Mitchell and John Taylor after their set. Check out the interview here:

Aftershock Festival 2014 was a great success. The show went off beautifully. Yes, the heat might have been unbearable and with the drought this year, we had to endure a lot more dust but the music kicked ass from start to finish. This is definitely California’s Number One Music Festival and we are already looking forward to next year. Bay Area band Dig The Kid kicked off the entire festival and Godsmack closed it out on Sunday night. Every single set was awesome and just proves to the naysayers that Rock n Roll is Alive and Well!
