Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [4/20 – 4/26]
Female-Fronted Friday: Little Evil
When: Founded January 2023
Where: Iowa
Genre: Hard rock
FFO: The Pretenders, No Doubt, Garbage
Little Evil consists of vocalist Nico Merschman, bassist Alexxx Bentzinger, guitarist Bryer Meierotto, and drummer Tim Wardlow. This dynamic quartet classifies themselves as “hard rock” or “river rock,” but they do not limit themselves to those labels. Listening to them, you will find yourself moved by a ballad, pumped by a punk-tinged anthem, swaying to a bluesy track with a haunting atmosphere, or headbanging to a raw rock song!
You can listen to their latest single, “Graveyard Kisses,” along with a few other releases, down below. Make sure you check out their socials for upcoming live shows, music news, and much more!
“Graveyard Kisses”
“Little Devil”
“Riverview”
“Fortify”
Five Songs I’m Obsessed With [4/13 – 4/19]
Hillbilly Vegas Collaborates With Paul Rodgers on Latest Release, “Mr. Midnight”
Southern rockers Hillbilly Vegas have shared their latest single, “Mr. Midnight,” and it features a very special guest – the one and only Paul Rodgers, best known for his role in Free, Bad Company, and more recently, Queen.
You can stream the track here, and watch the official video below!
Sky Knives Offers Faithful Rendition of Type O Negative Classic
Florida-based metal band Sky Knives has released a cover of Type O Negative’s “Christian Woman.” This modern take on the song is a respectful nod to the late Type O frontman, Peter Steele. Sky Knives stayed true to the darker, more sensual elements that seemed to define much of Type O Negative’s music.
Fun fact: Sky Knives got the track back from the studio on the anniversary of Peter Steele’s death.
