Jigsaw is back! KillerTours.com has teamed up with Rise Records’ Miss May I to bring you the new music video for "Forgive and Forget", featured on the Saw VI soundtrack.
Fun Fun Fun Fest was busy busy busy for Double Stereo. Blog editor Ian Morales and contributor/blogger for nitesblog.com Ajay Miranda combined forces with writer/photographer Sarah Vasquez to interview and photograph a wide range of bands and musicians. On Saturday (day 1 of the fest), we interviewed four bands we really like from around the country: The Sword, Dead Confederate, Russian Circles, and Red Sparowes.
The Sword's Bryan Richie and blog editor Ian Morales go way back (old high school buddies). For that reason, these two dudes didn't shut up, so we had to cut the interview into three parts. Overall, an entertaining day.
Watch all of our Fun Fun Fun Fest video interviews for Saturday here. Sunday's interviews coming soon.
In the latter part of 2008, melodic death metal group The Black Dahlia Murder received word from then lead guitarist John Kempainen that he was quitting the band. At the time, they were on tour and had to continue as a four-piece band instead of the usual quintet. But filling in the gap didn’t take long. Former Arsis guitarist Ryan Knight was recruited with the help of a friend of the band, and the rest is history. Double Stereo caught up with Ryan Knight recently to introduce him to the fans and talk about what’s new with The Black Dahlia Murder.
One of my favorite new bands, and not just on the Warped Tour, is Boston’s own Therefore I Am. They are a post hardcore band who is going to make some noise and take the scene by storm anywhere they play. There is just something about Boston that produces great hardcore acts. The Dropkick Murphys have always been my favorite band from Boston, but Therefore I Am get just as many plays in my iPod these days. I sat down with Alex Correia (vocals) to talk about their home town, the dark anger of their new album and of course Warped Tour.
Warped Tour veterans and Christian metal core extraordinaires, Underoath, are a big deal these days on The Warped Tour. It wasn’t always that way for them believe it or not. In the early part of the decade The Warped Tour started to shift gears a little bit from its largely punk rock beginnings. Not all fans, or bands for that matter, were enthusiastic about the heavier changes. Not only that, some were even more appalled that Warped Tour was featuring “Christian” bands like Underoath. With several Warped Tours, Taste of Chaos Tours and even a Grammy nomination under their belt, it is hard to believe that they were once unknowns struggling to make it.
