Stitched Up Heart has terrorized the music scene with an explosive mix of crunchy rock, punk, and subtle jazzy/pop undertones. The bands fresh to the ears music of loud guitars, memorable vocal melodies, and squealing metal leads, brings infectious sounds to revive the true name of Hard Rock.

2010 is the birth date of Stitched Up Heart and 2011 brought several opportunities to the table in an explosively short time. Their resume already holds SXSW, Warped Tour, and by the end of the third tour of this bands first year together they will have hit over 10 different states in the US.

Producer Mike Sarkisyan and Tommy Decker have polished up Stitched Up Heart’s 6 song EP “Escape The Nightmare” which the band will only be selling hard copies of live at their shows.

If you were at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival in Washington, you might want to watch this video… More to come soon!!!!!

This is just a teaser for what is to come!

Now you can watch the show that everyone is still talking about. The show you missed, the Needlemouth Reunion show and benefit…

“To speak with an aggressive and precise tongue” this is the definitive movement behind Huntington Beach, CA based NeedleMouth.  Emerging from an Industrial core, NeedleMouth is best defined as the convergence of organic Metal roots twisted amongst Electronic counterparts to create a genre-defying sound that is both as memorable as it is authentic.

Since their inception in 2005, NeedleMouth has remained a six member outfit driven by Jim Harnish, James Shomo, Tony Rhoden, Joe Taback, Chris Dorame and Joe Young.  Jim Harnish explains, “It was chance that brought us all together from different bands and projects of the past but, pure destiny is what you hear on the CD.”

Poised and focused, NeedleMouth has gained a continuous momentum hitting venues in the OC, LA and San Diego areas with a grass roots mentality ensuring their permanence through influential persistence and unrelenting labor.  “This is the birth of a new genre in heavy music.  One that is indifferent to preconception and we’re not afraid to be the exception.” NM

From beneath the pristine shadows of a coma induced, ultra-conservative, blissful Orange County, Cali-topia a message spreads like rumor infecting all that it touches; toxic, genre-defining, and poisonous…cut from the still beating, black-hearted angst of urgency: NEEDLEMOUTH. We have infiltrated your sons and daughters with something dangerous, something irrefutable, something called TRUTH.

TGFU!! (I can pretty much guarantee it doesn’t mean what you think it does.)  As I sit here watching one of the final sunsets of summer, with the 2010 Mayhem Fest a fading but still awesome memory, all I have to say is, “Thank God For Uproar!”  Seriously!  The Rockstar Uproar Fest is the hottest metal event running through September. It’s the last major outdoor metal tour rolling around this country before the “Buy 2 Parkas and Get a Free Snow Shovel!!” ad special starts at Wallymart.  The line-up is a wicked pack of headliners in and of themselves blended up with some great new talent.

Amber Host the Washington Rockstar UPROAR Festival in Washington….

Let the Mayhem begin.  Although each year Rockstar Mayhem Fest kicks off on a weekend, the annual event in its third year, should be declared a holiday for metal fans.  This year on July 10, 2010 in Devore, CA was prefaced with excitement by fans throughout Southern California, all the bands on what top-to-bottom was packed with some elite names in metal, as well as by the sponsors including Hollywood Music.  Day one of metal heads Christmas, 4^th of July and NYE rolled into one broke the adage of “the fantasy is better than the reality,” as the summer tour delivered a fun-filled day of kick ass music and good times.  Hollywood Music TV andHollywood Music Magazine were there to catch it all….

The Rockstar Mayhem Festival is the Shangri-La for metal heads and for many of us the concert highlight of the year. It is bigger, louder, and more freakin badass than anything else running. Mayhem is actually so freakin cool I quit my last “real” job to hop on the Mayhem wagon train for the 2008 tour as a media type dude. Now, there’s a couple caveats here: 1) The job I quit was the worst job I had ever had (And I have worked in a freakin morgue) which was mainly staffed by bitter and soulless cube slaves and conniving thieves. 2) I have a whole drawer full of loose screws between my ears so don’t go quitting your job to go to Mayhem. (Call in sick! hahaha)…

Five Finger Death Punch is a band that from its very beginning was assembled to deliver ear quaking destruction. Their first release The Way of the Fist (2007) took over the airwaves with a slew of hits like the top ten “The Bleeding” and the record itself has sold almost a half a million copies to date. With a supreme hard rock work ethic and a touring schedule that borders on the band having a collective screw loose Five Finger Death Punch have completely leveled up from being the way wicked new comers on the block to stadium rockin machines….
