by Chris Daniels photo courtesy of Google Images I’ve managed my own band since the 1980s and despite the amazing change in technology, success in the music business is built around four tried and true elements: great music, really hard work, and timing (often mistaken for luck). The other key element is getting the help […]
Three Days Grace/Shinedown/POD-Review
by Ryan Edwards This is like no other show that I have seen before, because I had no idea what to expect, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. Weeks before this tour began, Adam Gontier (vocals) resigned from Three Days Grace and was replaced by Matt Walst from My Darkest Days, which dozens of […]
Imagine Dragons @ Fillmore, March 23, 2013

You may re-apply for your position, but […]
