    “We’re looking forward to going on tour this summer and bringing our friends, Evanescence, out,” said Jonathan Davis of Korn. “Whenever Amy comes to one of our shows, I always love seeing her on the side of the stage watching the whole set and rocking out. We’re gonna have a great time on this tour, and we can’t wait to see you there.” 

    “I fell hard into Korn’s music in high school. It was an inspiration during the formation of my own band. The chances we’ve had to play together over the years are special, a part of our history. They remain one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen,” said Amy Lee of Evanescence. “It’s an honor and a thrill to go out with our friends again, our first full tour together since ‘07. We’re all really looking forward to this.” 

    Korn has changed the world with the release of their self-titled debut album that would eventually end up pioneering the rock genre.

  • Goose Announce New Studio Album “Dripfield”

    Norwalk, Connecticut rock group Goose announced their third studio album, Dripfield, coming out on June 24th. Over the past few years, this band has constantly flourished throughout the music community, emerging as one of the premier bands working today.

    DRIPFIELD Album Art by Goose
    DRIPFIELD Album Art

    Dripfield features a 10-track LP that explores the details of their incredible journey and unbridled creativity. Along with the album’s innovation, the song “Borne” has a music video directed by Dylan Hahn and was shot over the course of three days in the Mojave Desert.  

    The underlying idea of Dripfield is that of saturation. Imagine a piece of earth – it’s kind of like the water level rising and seeping up to the top. It’s a metaphor for the creativity we have inside of us. I’m not sure what pulls it out of us – maybe it’s our subconscious.

    Rick Mitarotonda

    To me, every music video project is a new task of understanding the artist, and finding what I think is the best visual interpretation for them and their music. Collaborating with Goose, learning their unique humor and energy, and involving it in the story narrative was a rewarding part of the process.

  • Rels B. Announces Tour, Show In NYC

    Spanish rapper, songwriter, and producer Rels B. is going on tour and is stopping at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC on May 12.

    Rels B. aka Daniel Vidal began working and producing his music and others when he was young. When he turned 20, he started to sing on his mixes. His first EP Change or Die gained traction on YouTube and SoundCloud, and his debut album left him with many charting singles.

    His styles include a wide range of international influences, from reggaeton to Latin soul and Spanish folk to rock and roll. He writes lyrics based off of personal experience, so it makes his songs easier to relate to. Some of his hit songs are “Made in Taiwan,” “Tienes El Don,” “Mary Jane,” and “A Mi.”
