Buckcherry Release 'Gluttony' Video

Buckcherry just premiered a video in support of their new single “Gluttony.” The song is off the forthcoming album Confessions, which will be out Feb. 19. I'll be buying the new Buckcherry when it comes out and I hope they play Rock on the Range this May!

This Is a Jackson Browne Video

Today, the Jackson Browne classic "Somebody's Baby." Why a Jackson Browne video? Because I received a simple request from an old friend. Oh, and "Somebody's Baby" is probably the best song off the awesome Fast Times at Ridgemont High soundtrack.

How many of you went to a Jackson Browne concert back in the day?

Hardcore Superstar Release 'One More Minute' Video

Hardcore Superstar just premiered a new video for the song "One More Minute."  Fun to finally see them do a video again. I've said before  that the song grows with each listen for me and the video took it a level higher. I think it's pretty awesome. What do you think?

"One More Minute" is the first single from Hardcore Superstar's upcoming album C'mon Take On Me, which will be released in early March. Here's the track list:

1. Cutting The Slack

2. C'mon Take On Me

I Wish I Could Attend Download This Summer

Someday I'll go to Download. I mean, I could go this year, but I'm saving my money for another Hawaii trip. Choices, choices.

This year also sees the return of alternative rockers Jimmy Eat World, Southern metallers Down and nu metal legends Korn, who are coming back to Donington with their founding guitar player Brian ‘Head’ Welch. 

Ahead of their 2013 album release, British metalcore band Asking Alexandria will join the likes of Australian hardcore band Parkway Drive, UK tour buddies Motionless in White and raucous residents on the rock scene, Young Guns on the Download bill. Proving that loud, gritty and ranting punk rock is very much alive, Cancer Bats are also confirmed for their fourth appearance at the mighty Download Festival. With their grime style vocals, ferocious riffs and hard-edged British style, Hacktivist will make their Download Festival debut in 2013.

Post hardcore legends Enter Shikari join the incredible line up alongside Five Finger Death Punch whose infamous live sets are not to be missed. Returning to Donington for asecond year in a row, Duff McKagan will debut his new blues rock band Walking Papers who took the Seattle music scene by storm in 2012. Led by the stunning ‘operatic banshee’ that is Jill Janus, the incredible Huntress join the line up alongside sleaze rock Swedish 4 piece Hardcore Superstar. Their live set is set to pack a punch for punk, and Download fans won’t be disappointed with the addition of the mighty Converge to the line up.

Joining the brutal bill are Aussie rockers Airbourne, melodic death metallers Amon Amarth and the aggressively melodic Black Dogs. Critically acclaimed for their recent album ‘Blood’, industrially inspired In this Moment, will be joined by feel good rock ‘n’ rollers HellYeah. Fronted by ex Dragonforcevocalist, I AM I will see ZP Theart introduce his new band to the Donington crowds. Also joining the incredible line up at the ‘spiritual home of rock’ with their heavy beatdown hardcore are Last Witness.

Stylish Swedish rockers The Hives are confirmed, along with Heaven’s Basement who will bring their ferocious rock ‘n’ roll to Donington, Nottingham’s finest Earthtone9 and U.S.rockers 3 Doors Down.

Making their first Download appearance are metalcore rockers Goldsboro. Also added to the bill are classic British metal rockers UFO, Vision of Disorder - known for their intense live shows - the muscular riffing of Texan heavy metallers The Sword, and souful rockers Buffalo Summer.
