Sarcasm, Whit and Maybe Truth
Richmond, VA-based rockers Red Reign take 80’s influences and steer them in a more contemporary direction – bridging the sounds of yesterday and today.
The band “Jelusick” is formed around singer and keyboardist Dino Jelusick (Whitesnake, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Michael Romeo, Dirty Shirley). He is joined by bassist Luka Broderick who is, like Dino, an academically educated musician.
Spacey blips flow into a synth-led danceable beat, with vocals making more music than they do an actual statement on the first tune of NYC-composer Chris Ianuzzi’s new double single.

Formed in Brussels, Belgium, in the late 80s, Black Tish comes to us now, many years after first coming onto the scene with their specific style of industrial electronica, with Throbbing Flip Out.
So, grab the CD, come out to see Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius, you’ll be happy you did.
Hit the link below to pre-order the set, and you should, if you want to hear more of a band you might have only ever thought of as MTV-darlings or have never heard the full might of…or you are a Winger completist.

How far do we go to wrestle the world to our need, as much in the face of civility as safety? And is our narcissism such now that even though we know our actions might indeed be holding up another person’s day, and maybe even possibly criminal, we still march forward with what we want?
So, I have it on good authority, because I am one of the cool kids and am in the know about such things, that iconic American rock band Kansas is extending their 50th ANNIVERSARY TOUR – ANOTHER FORK IN THE ROAD.
