Another year, another massive lineup provided by South Florida’s alternative-music radio-stars 104.3 The Shark for Riptide Festival 2019. We’ve come up with a list of five reasons why this year’s edition will be one of the most memorable yet.
Scottish pirate metal crew Alestorm have confirmed a November 2019 Canadian headlining tour with support from Napalm Records labelmates Aephanemer.
German modern metal 5-piece Annisokay have posted their new video for “Escalators” and are currently out on tour with I Set My Friends On Fire.
Wolf Alice debut their new song, “Don’t Delete The Kisses” ahead of their US tour. Check it out here…
Slayer and Gojira seem to be as good a pair as peanut butter and jelly… well… maybe not to that degree, but it’s close.
Venue change and rainy weather didn’t stop the crowd from filling in to the Smash Mouth show the other night at Gramercy (it was suppose to be Irving Plaza). The San Jose based band played a full set to just around 10:30 pm, giving the audience a full hour and a half of songs like, “Come on Come on”, “The Fonz” and of course no SM tour would be complete without “Walkin on the Sun.” Hey, we might as well be!
Slayer and Gojira seem to be as good a pair as peanut butter and jelly… well… maybe not to that degree, but it’s close. They both played to a sold out crowd but it was Slayer that seemed to be living a block or so from the fountain of youth.
The Studio at Webster Hall is a place where new bands go to get discovered. Or where old bands go to get re-discovered. The latter case in Fates Warning, the CT-based progressive rock band formed in the 80’s. My favorite rock sub-genre, drummer Mike Portnoy once said that Fates Warning were the leader in this genre and inspired Dream Theater. The crowd at Webster was lively as Fates Warning front man Ray Adler crisply belted out old and new tunes from their 11 studio albums. Many die-hard where right on top of Adler singing along with his every word.
It’s a good thing I heard that In This Moment recently signed with Atlantic Records as the band may blow up before our eyes and it may be harder to shoot them.
Georgia-based Attila played to an amped up young crowd of moshers at Gramercy theater on a cold Monday evening in NY. The crowd was already in a frenzy thanks in large part to the show stealing Texas based Upon a Burning Body, who encouraged the circle mosh pit and multiple crowd surfing. Attila was solid playing about an hour-long set. Chris “Fronzilla” Fronzak lead the way with tight vocals.
