Imagine if you will, a secret lab with test tubes, computers, and things beyond comprehension. Hunched over a computer screen, and wearing a “Lemmy is God” t-shirt, is that small quiet unassuming guy you always see standing off to the side at shows. Further imagine, that this guy collected bits and pieces of this and that at those shows and secreted them away to said secret lab. Taking part Motorhead, Black Sabbath, and Black Label Society he created a force of DOOM beyond belief: CROWNED BY FIRE. Now, this didn’t really happen but it seems like it. The first time I listened to “Prone To Destroy” two thoughts went through my head: What the hell just happened and it’s over already? This band and this CD grabs hold and never lets you go. My first go around I pressed replay three times. I shook myself free from the amazement and said out loud, “Why isn’t the world talking about this band?” I then knew my mission: Spread the word to EVERYONE!!! Don’t believe what you just read? http://crownedbyfire.com/  or http://www.facebook.com/CrownedByFire and see for yourself!

Music has always been a part of my life and I always leaned towards the heavier bands. Times and trends change as does the music world.Some bands tend to gravitate towards where the trends lie and this alienates some fans. Not Crowned By Fire, they stand true to the music that shaped them. Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Ozzy, Black Label Society, Deep Purple are some the Rock Royalty that come to mind when listening to Crowned By Fire.  Prone To Destroy was recorded over the span of  5 weeks in the Tuscan Hills of Florence, Italy at the prestigious Larione 10 Studios. The band signed with  label Digital Media Records in June 2011 with “Prone To Destroy” being released shortly afterward. Album cover artwork was done byartist Sam Shearon. If you want your faith restored in Rock n’ Roll pick this CD up, turn it up to 11, open all the windows, throw your fist in the air, and smile Rock n’ Roll is ALIVE!!!

Good morning! Went to a 100% local band show last night and saw some great new bands. The show was opened by Distances http://www.facebook.com/distancesband they call themselves Atmospheric Metal/Experimental Rock and  I agree, their music was an amalgamation of of heavy music, edgy vocals, and etheral subject matter. All in all a great set from this young band. Mother Death Queen was next to take the stage. An all girl band that was a throwback to some of the Riot Grrrl bands of the past. Trading off of vocals between bands members, with some catchy playing made for a good set from MDQ check them out at:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mother-Death-Queen/259980427374658 Throughout the night people were running around the club sporting Beard stickers in various places on their persons. It was time to see what the hype about the band Beard was all about. The band brought catchy hooks, great energy, and awesome crowd response. They have a soon to be released CD, I cannot wait to hear it. The evening was closed out with the ever entertaining The Ground Beneath. http://www.facebook.com/thegroundbeneath if you like Heavy Riffs, and a frontman that will entertain TGB is your band. Image

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHEjKrldjLE  I had the pleasure of coming into contact with the band DRONIKA recently. I met some members of the band at the Whisky A Go Go  on a recent trip to Hollywood. They treated like we had known each other for many years. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx2W3tzja4M I was then given a sneak listen to some new tracks form the band. Wow! Great stuff. I was given permission to premier one of their songs on my internet radio show Bleach Bangs Radio http://www.bleachbangs.com/ we were honored with a phone call from the band to the show that night as well. They are currently in a voting race to participate in the Uproar tour. Watch out for this KILLER band! http://www.dronika.com/
