First thoughts on "Vale" from Black Veil Brides!

Image
Good afternoon, Kindergothlings!  Sorry for the lack of posts this week, the days are really just flying by.  I’ve been waiting for this day for months.  Back in August when the 5th Black Veil Brides album was still somewhat of a Unicorn, and it was hard to find any kind of confirmation on it.  Fans on Twitter had bits and pieces of info, and tweets about the release date continually getting pushed back.   Back in October, around the time that The Resurrection Tour tickets started going on sale, the album concept was released.  “Vale”  was going to be a continuation of Wretched & Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones. At the beginning of the 2018, Andy started sharing sneak peaks of the “Wake Up” music video on his Instagram.  I was living for the outfits, of course adorned with tigers #GoBengals! And Andy’s new hair! Yaas. I love the red. Like I said, Vale appears to be a continuation of Wretched and Divine, so we have the rebels ...

Kawaii Thoughts

The year was 2009. Printed hair extensions were all the rage..ish.  It was the pinnacle of my scene queen days. My music of choice,  because it freaked people out, was a super out there album "it's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world" by a band called Blood on the Dance Floor. ..and not, Dolly Parton (who first used the title). At the time, BOTDF had 3 members I guess that first album release must have been the last time I had thought about them.  Later they released another album, and members started to come and go.  Before rediscovering them, BOTDF went through members Garrett Ecstasy, Jayy Vonn (who previously found me on Insta thought I admit I had no idea who he was at the time), and Matty M.  About a month ago,  I was sort of reintroduced to them when Dahvie Vanity,  the lead singer (@officialBOTDF)  had found me on Instagram.  It kinda made my day once I realized it was legit and not a fan account,  like it u...

You're Just A Dog - A look at Demi the Daredevil's "Sly Dog"

Image
Source: Demithedaredevil.com So this is something a bit different for you guys, a single track breakdown the week of its release “Sly Dog” is the brand new single from Austin, TX Art Pop band, Demi the Daredevil.   The specific genre “Art Pop” may throw some of you for a loop -- I know it did to me for a second. But, g enres are like colors...while casual listeners, or aliens who dislike music , may identify simply rock, rap, and metal (if that much).  Enthusiasts see industrial, Bauhaus, Trash Pop, and that one brief moment Ronnie Radke was the lead singer of Escape the Fate...but, I digress. An earlier version of Sly Dog was sent to me by its singer, Jeff Azar, ahead of its November 14th release date.  Naturally, I listened to it--a lot, as well as most of their recent tracks (which you can find on both Youtube & Spotify) This track definitely brings out a sense of adventure, a bit of Bohemian Rhapsody.  I love it, as well as the bit of inner ...

First Impressions of 'Heaven Upside Down'

Image
Good morning, Kindergothlings!  It's about 7:15...I've been up since 2:30 this morning...Working third shift sucks because even on your days off, you feel like you miss everything.  Anyway, got some cool stuff for you today..jumping back into some music.  It's been a couple years since Manson's last album, and even longer since I've been a faithful listener.  I really thought he might have lost his touch when he started acting.  I watched him in the last season of Sons of Anarchy, and I know that he had some sort of role in the series "Salem," which he did the score for. "Heaven Upside Down"   definitely proved me wrong.  After 2 singles came out in September, the album had a full release on October 6th, 2017. So, yeah, I'm nearly a month late with this (big whoop, wanna fighta bout it?)  I hadn't thought about it in weeks, but when it popped into my head, I finally HAD to pull it up and listen to it.  I've given the wh...

Social Repose+ @ The Rocketown (10.27.17)

Image
There are few things more fun than getting ready for a rock show with some of my favorite people.  Draven & I before leaving the house. T HE SET-UP This white building of the Rocketown complex is a small, very garage-band-vibe venue.  No hate, very cool!  No worries with bringing in cameras or bags, everything was checked.  No re-entry was a bit lame, as well as not even being able to bring cigarettes in, even an unopened pack.  Like all you had to say was no smoking/no-reentry.  We really have to walk them all the way back to the car?  Parking: super easy, nice big lot in between the main building and where we were, so we didn’t have to walk a mile in the rain.  Price did suck, for 4 hours-it was $20.  Even for Falling in Reverse, the whole night was only $10. We got a bit lost getting there, so we showed up about 30 minutes after doors and Cross Your Fingers was already on stage.   It’s a bit of a bottleneck a...

Motionless in White's "Graveyard Shift" details & review

Image
Good Morning, Kindergothlings.   My drive home from work looked a bit like a scene from "Silent Hill," intermittent patches of crazy dense fog. Still curious as to where I work, take a look at my latest Insta post (@Miz_Motionless) for a hint. Anyway, my mom is still super sick today, and not eating at all, which worries the hell out of me.  For those that haven't read yet on one of my social media sites, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer last Thanksgiving, and has recently started her second round of chemo.  Looks like this round is going to keep her continually nauseous.   Alright, dolls, on to the main event....as I eat my pop-tart.... :D  Motionless in White!  I'll be honest, I'm new to them.  2017 has been a crazy chain of musical exploration...behold a brief timeline/flowchart: Its Black Friday (longtime fan, actually discovered her with this video) Social Repose ( Reacted to one of Black Friday's videos) Andy Black/B...

Image
Ozzy, Rob Zombie, and Five Finger Death Punch in one show...sounds like a dream, right?  Well for those that are going to be in the area, Louder Than Life festival is going to blow your freakin' mind.   Champions Park, Louisville, Kentucky.  Imma be a square an follow all the action on Instagram  It's super last minute, but miraculously, tickets are still available online AND at the doors. Take a look at this killer line up, if we weren't already going to Falling in Reverse & All That Remains, I'd REALLY be bummed about missing this show.

BVB Review: Set the World on Fire, 2011

Image
Set the World on Fire is the 2nd studio album from Black Veil Brides, and the first album with “CC” (Christian Coma) on Drums.  The album was released on June 14, 2011.  The first single released off the album was “Fallen Angels,”  very much an ode to the classic glam rock of KISS and Motley Crue. A few of my other favorites include “God Bless You” and “Rebel Love Song,” Which one AP’s music video of the year in 2011! Rebel Love Song, the anthem of a small town kid, dreaming of getting out.  Hitting home with me right now as I set my sights on Las Vegas. Another unexpected favorite for me is “Savior” I originally skipped over the song because it is a slower one. There are few words that I can muster to describe this song, except “everything I wish someone had told me at 14.” Jinxx has a violin solo near the end of the song, which is a beautiful addition. Honestly, so without too much commentary, I’m going to share the lyrics for you guys, as well as ...
