Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Corey Durkin

This guy is hilarious. I have never met him, but I can just tell from the photos on his website and the conversations we share through email. His music is pretty impressive too. He writes some awesome lyrics is wicked on the guitar. I am actually not sure where I met him… but I am glad I did. One of the first things that he did was offer to send me a copy of his latest album. It’s not out yet, but he wanted me to hear it. It’s good. But what impressed me the most [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with NEEDMORE

Their lyrics are simply moving. When I listen to these guys perform, nothing else matters… they have a certain mystique about them that makes all pain in the world simply disappear. I have no idea where I found these guys, but I am so glad that I did. Their lyrics are incredible, and they just sound so solid playing together. Not sure I would call it Christian music… but there are some definite overtones thrown in every now and then. Songs like [...]

PlayStation Network Sends Apology to Customers

Your information has been compromised! No, really… it has. Well, if you are a member of the PlayStation Network it has. Earlier this week I heard reports that PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information had been compromised. This was all in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into the network. Regardless of the intrusion, reports are saying that names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and even credit card information [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Matt Moore

His lyrics simply move. From one song to the next, his album No Place Left to Hide is packed with seven killer tracks. Every song inspires and his voice just carries you from one song to the next. I really can’t get enough of this guy. He also has a certain style and grace about the way he handles himself. This kid has what it takes, and his voice demands some attention. No way this guy doesn’t sign with a major in the near future. He’s too good not to. I have no clue how [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Hamilton Loomis

There are so many great guitar players out there. From Stevie Ray Vaughn (rest in peace Stevie) to John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, they each have their own special way of making a guitar talk. You don’t even need vocals when they play… the music says it all. The man I am sitting with today does use lyrics, but that’s just fine; he has an amazing voice. He also writes some pretty incredible lyrics. Looking at him you wouldn’t think he was a blues [...]

Artist Interview: 1-on-1 with Adelitas Way

Not sure where I first heard these guys, but I’m glad I did. I have been listening to these guys nearly every day since I discovered their tunes, and that was over a year ago! I actually had the chance to see them perform live last year, and was equally blown away. Their lyrics are polished, and their lead vocals kill. They have a hard rock attitude, and dress the part. They are a modern day rock band, and are not afraid to show it! There are so many bands out [...]
