Members of AWOLNATION and Tinfed have teamed up with the new group The Barbarians Of California and have given fans a taste of their music with the release of their new single and video "Where Are The Punks?"
Atom Splitter sent over these details: The West Coast's contribution to hardcore punk is undeniable. That tradition of aggression, passion, and scrappy melodicism continues with The Barbarians Of California, an engaging new manifestation of iconoclastic spirit and true bombast. They are equal opportunity iconoclasts, gleefully thrashing the left and the right in the hardcore-punk tradition of nonconformity and raw fury. The band isn't "political," because they aren't advocating for anyone's platform. The central message is defiance. (continue)

DownTown Mystic recently released their hit album "Rock'n'Roll 4 The Soul" that has already scored 1.5 million streams. To celebrate we asked mastermind Robert Allen to tell us about the song "Brian Jones". Here is the story:
Brian Jones is a good example of the lengths I will go to get a great track. In case you don't know who Brian Jones is, he's the guy with the perfect blond hair who started The Rolling Stones. Mick & Keith joined HIS band. The phrase Sex, Drugs and RocknRoll could have been coined to describe Brian's lifestyle. He's considered to be the founding member of the unfortunate "27 Club". He was the first of the rock stars to die at the age of 27, soon to be followed by Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. Kurt Kobain is also a member. (continue)
