With the upcoming release of their debut album, “I Waited For You”, Valora will redefine the male ego. The alternative rock genre is in dire need of this shake-up. The music industry doesn’t yearn for a band that can deliver a Daughtry hit, followed by a Nickelback hit, a Foo Fighters’ hit and topped off with the ultimate mimic, a Nirvana hit. The industry needs originality and what better way to spice up the bland rock stew than with some female flavoring? Shockya readers, say hello to the ultimate alternative ingredient, Syd Duran. Don’t worry, she is not a duplicate of Paramore’s Hayley Williams. Duran will not simply dismiss the…

Somewhere between the dying bands of the O.C. and the One Tree Hill soundtracks and the rising tunes of the house and electronica genres, alternative rock began to loose it’s mojo. Fear no more because the alternative juice is getting a reboot with the authentic sound of Mona. So Foo Fighters, it’s time for you to step down from your podium and let the newcomers reign the alternative rock throne. The group, consisting of vocalist and guitarist, Nick Brown, guitarist, Jordan Young, bassist, Zach Lindsey and drummer, Vince Gard, recently dropped their self-titled EP on July 19th. Normally with an EP release, we can select a top track out of…

Singing a song that isn’t originally “yours” is a difficult task to undertake. With these cover songs we like to say you have two paths to choose from. You can mimic the original and hope fans find your version to be better or you can reinvent the track and make it completely your own. So unless you are Beyonce singing a Brittany Spears song, we suggest you take the latter route, just like Scala & Kolacny Brothers did with Radioheads’s “Creep” in the trailer for the “The Social Network”. The all-female Belgian rock choir, which is led by brothers, Steven and Stijn, released their self-titled US debut on March 15th…

Foo Fighters keep adding more tour dates to the group’s North American arena tour and we could not be more thrilled. We guess that’s the move for a band to make when their album went gold less than months after debuting at #1 in a dozen countries. In case you weren’t aware of this massive Foo Fighters success, we’ll inform you a little bit of the band’s latest news, before we get to the expansion of the group’s tour. ‘Wasting Light’, which is the legendary group’s seventh album, dropped back in April via Roswell and RCA. Foo Fighters are planning to release the feature-length documentary,’ Foo Fighters: Back and Forth’,…

What perfect timing for the Foo Fighters. The legendary rock group has just released their official video from the track, “Walk,” off of the band’s album, ‘Wasting Light’ and on June 5th, the Foo Fighters will be performing the tune at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. This musical situation is ideal because we just can’t get enough of this empowering track. The “Walk” music video describes those painful days where you wake on the wrong side of the bed and every step after that digs you deeper into a rut. We have all had these days, and usually the most uplifting moment is when tomorrow is only a few short…

We love our summer concerts, but when those blissful days come to an end in September, we often feel sad and longing for the next peak in music. Well, we are glad to announce those post summer days no longer have to be blue, thanks to the Foo Fighters.

Pre-sales for the fall leg of the tour will begin on May 18th. General sales will follow May 20th with the exception…

Fans can watch the Foo Fighters perform the entire album live in their studio by heading over to ‘Foo Fighters TV.’ We hope rock music…
