Ammotrack - S.H.O.U.T


Ammotrack from Skövde/Sweden. Has an combination of heaviness, really cool melodies and stone-hard rock n' roll attitude.

Ammotrack had a fabulous year under 2008 with thier debut album that climbed high on the charts.
Nominations as the years breakthrough on Bandit Rock Awards, nominations for the years new arrivers and the years hard-rock on Swedish Metal Awards and gigs on Arvikafestivalen, Sweden Rock Festival, Monsters Of Mora, and the band has toured a lot and has been the supporting act for bands such as Hardcore Superstar and D-A-D, both in Sweden and Europe.
So 2009 will probably be even a great year.

Todays tune is a song called S.H.O.U.T from thier debut album "Ammotrack"

D-A-D - Sleeping My Day Away

More D-A-D, as promised i will deliver a classic one, i could say that this is the biggest tune they have "Hit list Vise"
Its a great tune indeed.

And i was lucky to have some time over to get a few shots during that night.
Its with my pocket camera so not the best quality.



Stig's bass guitars only have two strings, some even only one string. Stig designs his own bass guitars based on his own ideas and imagination. I really like the rocket one, its so far out as it can be.



And yes the band closed their live performance with the song It's After Dark. As they usally do.
And yes, D-A-D is in very good shape and sounds great live so dont miss them.

Todays tune is from Roskilde Festival .01.07.2005

D-A-D - Monster Philosophy



D-A-D is a Danish rock band previously known as Disneyland After Dark, a name that had to be changed after a threatening lawsuit from The Walt Disney Company. Their style of music is often categorized as melodic heavy rock. They have also used the names D.A.D., D•A•D and D:A:D, each name represents a period in the band's history.

Today D-A-D had a gig @ klubben/Stockholm, Sweden together with Ammotrack (More with them in a few days)
D-A-D are a bunch of nice guys and the crew was the same so i would say that i really enjoyed working with them.
So why not kick out the new title track from the 10th studio album from one of Denmarks most popular and persistent rock bands. that is also the name off the tour they are doing, Monster Philosophy.
Tomorrow i will give you a classic with some nice shots that i was able to get, haven't gone thru them yet.

So enjoy todays tune.

Grayson Capps - New Orleans Waltz




Grayson Capps from Tennessee, Usa is a Country Blues Rocker.

His latest release, Wail & Ride (Hyena Records) is all things Southern fusion of Townes Van Zant and Drive By Truckers, is a great mix of roadhouse rock, soul and country blues.

Grayson now lives in Franklin, Tennessee on a farm that once raised thoroughbreds. The Thoroughbred barn has burned down but his place has a creek that runs through it and it's own cave. His band is now the Stumpknockers, which is the name of the little bream he and his granddaddy caught when they fished together. The Stumpknockers are Tommy MacLuckie (lead guitar), Josh Kerin (bass) and Mobile native, John Milham (drums).

Grayson Capps video for his song "New Orleans Waltz" from the album, Wail & Ride



"Take the poetry of Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt, combine with Steve Earle’s edgy attitude and then stir it up with a little cup of bayou blues, à la Howlin’ Wolf, and you get a taste of Capps’ scrumptious gothic gumbo." - Exclaim

Dan Reed Network - Get To You


The Dan Reed Network is a funk rock/funk metal band formed by Dan Reed in Portland, Oregon, United States, in 1984.

The band signed to Mercury Records with the aid of Derek Schulman and were managed by legendary concert promoter Bill Graham. In winter 1987, the group released an eponymous debut album which was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and was engineered by Mike Fraser at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver. The first single "Ritual" cracked the Billboard Top 40 and was in heavy rotation on MTV.

In January 1989, Dan Reed met up with Nile Rodgers. The second album, Slam, produced by Rodgers, better represented the Dan Reed Network's live sound and accelerated the band's growing status in Europe.
The Dan Reed Network's third album, The Heat (1991), was their biggest success in the UK
In October 1993, the band members were starting to take different paths in their lives, but agreed to go on a hiatus and not officially break up. Reed continued to work solo and in collaboration with other musicians, including Nuno Bettencourt, formerly of the band Extreme. Dan Reed released an EP called Sharp Turn in 2004. After spending a year in India and another in Jerusalem, while working on more experimental material with some eastern influences, Reed is currently living and making music in New York City. Coming Up for Air, a new solo album by Dan Reed, is scheduled for release in April 2009.
At the same time Dan Reed will hit the road for a Europe Tour and yes he will play in Sweden aswell.
14th of April @ Mosebacke Stockholm.

Todays tune is Dan Reed Network's performance of "Get To You" from their 1988 televised US appearance on The Late Show.

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Mistakes & Regrets


...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (often abbreviated as Trail of Dead) is an American art rock band from Austin, Texas.
According to the band's website, their name is taken from an ancient Mayan ritual chant which shows a striking similarity to an ancient Egyptian chant. However, this explanation is said to be merely an ongoing joke. The chief creative elements of the band are Jason Reece and Conrad Keely. The two switch between drumming and lead vocals and guitar, both on their records and during their shows. (On some songs, former bass player Neil Busch sang lead vocals). As of February 2009, the band has released six studio albums. Their sixth album, The Century of Self, was released on February 17, 2009.

Todays tune is taken from thier second album release "Madonna"
