Pioneer
Newly signed to SloSpeak Records, the band PIONEER will release their new album on January 24th 2012. It is a highly infectious album full of memorable melodies and toe tappin' numbers sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. Buy the album on CD and other merch right here. [Bio] The above definition is very fitting for Pioneer. Previously known as News from Verona, the five piece from Indianapolis, Indiana have reached a point in their lives where new beginnings are necessary. They no longer simply strive for local fame or recognition. Their musical styles have evolved and their life outlooks matured. Basically – the boys have grown up. Since their formation three years ago as a garage band, Pioneer has worked hard to develop honest, innovative American rock music. After solidifying their lineup and formulating their sound, they released All I Know is I Know Nothing in the Summer of 2010. They’ve played festivals including Cornerstone Festival, Ichthus Festival, Agape Festival, JoshuaFest and Spirit West Coast, and have independently played national tours.
Blessed by a Broken Heart
Blessed by a Broken Heart will unleash their new 80's inspired rock album, "Feel the Power", January 24th 2012 through Tooth & Nail Records. Stream the album via AOL right here. Watch the video for the track "Forever", below.
Goodnight Wednesday
Look for the new full length from Goodnight Wednesday very soon on Paper Mache Records. Listen and download the band's latest song "Oroku Saki", below. Hailing from Akron, Ohio, a city that in recent years has become a hotbed of sorts for rock music of all genres, Goodnight Wednesday first hit the scene of northeast Ohio in 2006, with hopes of sharing their unique and intricate brand of punk rock to the world beyond the borders of the Buckeye state. Having done that and more, and with a brand new record currently under way, the future is bright for the men in black.Merging the aggressive nature of acts such as A Wilhelm Scream and Rise Against, the theatrics of bands such as The Misfits and My Chemical Romance, and the rebellious nature of classic punk bands such as Bad Religion and NOFX, this modern punk quartet has taken a classic form of rock and made it their own, all while maintaining their pop sensibilities, often compared to the new material of Green Day, MxPx, and Sum 41. This edgy punk band is more than just meaningless theatrics however. Their intelligently written lyrics underline a deeper purpose that uses the energy and honesty of the punk rock scene to express a message of faith, hope, and love.

Brian McSweeney (Seven Day Jesus) Kickstarter
| Tags : Alternative, Brian McSweeney, Rock, Seven Day Jesus
Remember the band Seven Day Jesus? Many of you probably have no clue who they are or were but that will all change when frontman Brian McSweeney funds his new album through kickstarter. You see, Seven Day Jesus were an alternative rock band that began in the 90′s, released several important albums then broke up far too early. Bands like Seven Day Jesus, Black Eyed Sceva (Model Engine), Plankeye, etc all were around the same time as Switchfoot yet these bands all shared something in common that Switchfoot hasn’t quite endured yet, and that’s the BREAKUP! So many of these “alternative” rock bands could have been just as big, important, and plastered across magazines much the same way Switchfoot has if they only would have continued. That’s enough of my rant, consider helping Brian in his quest to fund a new solo outing and please check out those “classic” bands I mentioned earlier.
