Day in Rock Part 2


Halestorm's Lzzy Hale Was Inspired by Moment Of Jealousy

(Classic Rock) Lzzy Hale admits that it was a moment of jealousy while watching a band at a Christian rock festival when she was 11-years-old which inspired her to pursue a career in music.

But the Halestorm frontwoman adds that it drove her to form the band the following year in 1998 - and they've been touring ever since. She tells iRockRadio: "I've been in the same band since I was 13, so I've been gigging for a long time. My parents used to take me to local festivals and it would just be a mish-mash of things.

"I was 11 and at some Christian Rock festival that came through and I went with a bunch of friends. Before the band started, I remember being really jealous, just that jealousy where you think, 'I wanna do that.' Low-and-behold, the next year I was like, 'Ok, we're doing it.'" Read more here.

The Virginmarys Release 'Motherless Land' Video

(Classic Rock) The Virginmarys have released a video for their track Motherless Land. It's the latest song the band have showcased from their Divides album, which launched earlier this month via Spinefarm Records. They previously issued For You My Love and Into Dust.

Singer and guitarist Ally Dickaty tells The Wall Street Journal: "There's a lot of singing for the beaten-down and the people who don't have a voice. This particular song is about a couple that is escaping from the society that they're living in because they've just had enough of it."

The band have a number of UK tour dates lined up for next month, including an appearance at the TeamRock-sponsored Stone Free festival at London's O2 on June 18. See the dates and watch the video here.

Lacuna Coil Interviewed By Sock Puppets In New Online Video

(TeamRock Radio) Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia and Marco "Maki" Coti-Zelati have been interviewed by sock puppets in a recent video shared online. The singer, along with bassist and main songwriter Zelati, answered questions about their laundry habits, their lineup change and their upcoming album Delirium, due out on May 27.

Scabbia recently admitted Lacuna Coil were not taken seriously when they first started out in Italy. She said: "At the beginning it wasn't easy, because when you say you're a musician, people immediately say, 'Ok but what's your job?' 'I'm a musician,' 'Yeah, but what's your real job?' 'No, really, I'm touring the world, this is how I pay my bills.'

"People still don't look at musicians as people who really work. At the beginning my parents were worried for me, like, 'Where do you think you're going?' - especially coming from Italy. There aren't a lot of rock or metal bands from Italy." Watch the sock puppet interview here.

Between The Buried And Me Figured It Out With 'Coma Ecliptic'

(TeamRock Radio) Between The Buried And Me's Paul Wagner says the band have been working throughout their whole career to make an album as "flawless" as Coma Ecliptic.

The guitarist says each member has become a better musician - and says that their latest record showcases their creativity and talent without overcomplicating their sound.

He tells Noisy: "I think Coma Ecliptic is us figuring out how to sound, figuring out how to make the music we want to make and making it work pretty much flawlessly.

"I don't really have any complaints about that album. I feel like it's the most mature album, and the duration of the band's lifetime all kind of led up to that. I think that's the pinnacle. I think we finally did what we wanted to do.

"Nobody's trying to prove a point, we're not trying to out-shred everybody, and we're not trying to write the most complicated stuff in the world. We're just trying to write really cool music that showcases all of our creativity and where all of us are as musicians." Read more here.
