Scarlet Canary Confirm They Don't Suck With Perspective

After watching the video for Scarlet Canary's new single, "Antidote", I knew this was going to be an album worth checking out. You can read my thoughts on that song here. After a good bit of time with the new album Perspective, I can in fact walk away with the safe proclamation that this band does not suck. Below I will chronicle the reasons you should probably head to your nearest keyboard (computer, not instrumental), and order this CD.

As I covered in my review of the first single, the band has a bit of a throwback metal / hard rock feel. Hannah Maddox delivers mightily on vocals. She starts off gently with clean vocals and wails on the opening track "I'll Be Ok". Comparisons to Iron Maiden's vocalist Bruce Dickinson might be met with angry Maiden fans crying sacrilege, but i'm making the comparison anyway because it's the first thing that came to my mind when listening, and I don't think it's a stretch. By the time you g…

Scarlet Canary Start Strong With New Video For Antidote

On May 27th, Scarlet Canary will release their new cd Perspective. If the rest of the cd is anything like their first single "Antidote", i'm already sold. The song blends some of the best aspects of classic hard rock / metal bands of legend while still having enough uniqueness to stand firmly on it's own. This single is how you sell a cd.

Be sure to keep up with the band on Facebook and Twitter and pre-order the new album from their website and get a signed copy.

Halo Circus Delivers A Heart-Felt Triumph With The East Lansing Sessions

There's a certain connection you can achieve with a song when it's stripped down. There's a certain vulnerability that's present when the lyrics are allowed to shine. Such is the case with the new EP from Halo circus, The East Lansing Sessions.

Fans will notice that the first three tracks on the EP are songs that appeared on the previously released Bunny album. "Nothing At All", "All I Have", and "Band-Aid" have all been re-made for this EP. Dismissing these songs as re-releases would be a mistake since they feel completely new given the smoky country / folk vibe that is so prevalent on this EP. The fourth track on the EP is the song "Stand Up", which has been in the band's live show since the beginning and will probably make this package worth the price of admission alone for many fans. The fifth and final song on the EP is a cover of Neil Young's "The Needle And The Damage Done" which is a perfectly …

Kaleido Gives The Music World A Very Good Experience

Kaleido's new CD, "Experience", is officially out on May 19th and delivers an impressive array of high intensity rock. The thirteen track CD does have a few musical interludes that offer a breather. The CD also provides two ballads for the final acts: "All Together" and the appropriately titled last song "The End".

Fans have probably heard, (and seen), the video for the singles "Trouble In Paradise" and "Die Tryin'" (featured below). If you were on board with what Kaleido delivered with those singles, I suspect you'll be down for the entire package. Songs like "Blue Collar Delight" and "No More Little Miss Nice Bitch" drive home the band's rock / punk sound and certainly warrant comparisons to the early days of No Doubt, which should be considered a compliment.

My favorite tracks would probably be "Balcony", which has a very cool melody, and "Die Tryin'", which is ju…

Featured Artist: Melia

Not too many people start off their music career by sharing the stage with Green Day, but that's just how Melia's journey began. After begging her parents to let her take guitar lessons, they finally gave in and she started to play at the age of 16. The first time she was inspired to play guitar occurred while watching a Green day Concert. It's fitting that after dedicating herself to practicing guitar 6-8 hours a day she was picked to play "Jesus Of Suburbia" onstage at the next Green Day Concert she attended. You can watch that video below which concludes with her doing a stage dive.

Melia joined her first band in high school and took up vocal duties as well as guitar since the band lacked a singer. Dedicated to always improving, Melia began to take vocal lessons. She recorded and released the album Soundproof Walls in 2011 which spawned the video below.

Melia began playing shows wherever she could and picked up gigs with several famous acts. She …

Halo Circus Releases Band-Aid Video From Upcoming Album

Halo Circus is set to release their new album in May and they just released the video for "Band-Aid" to give us a taste. For those not familiar with the band, they are fronted by the very talented Allison Iraheta. "Band-Aid" is yet another vehicle for Allison to showcase her vocal abilities, although this time with a softer touch. Once again Allison Iraheta proves she is one of rock's elite. For those unfamiliar with the band I recommend also checking out the video for "Nothing At All". Plenty more coverage coming of Halo Circus leading up to the new album.

From the press release: Lead singer Allison Iraheta states, “This video was shot entirely in Taft, Calif., one of the 30 cities that brought us to their town last fall on our first-ever fully crowdfunded American tour. We wanted to capture our experience, both visually and emotionally. When we were driv…
