Emery is the realest, most relatable band of the era. The undisputed kings of Christian emo have spent two decades creating emotional experiences by blending post-hardcore chaos, melodies, and lyrics that hit way too close to home. They’re the band that makes you scream, cry, and laugh, sometimes all in the same breath. Known for their self-aware humor and ability to turn heartbreak into harmony, and innovative DIY approach, Emery has become a favorite for fans who love music that feels as real and messy as life. Emery keeps it loud, honest, and unapologetically fun.

Josh Scogin kickstarted his small band with the big sound in 2013, naming the two-man outfit he modestly undersells as “a little rock, a little blues, a little hardcore” after his father’s old Camaro. And there’s a muscle car-sized rumble beneath the hood of what the Atlanta, Georgia native and his percussive partner-in-crime, Nikko Yamada, unleash with an array of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and pedals, careening between swinging barnburners, wild haymakers, and moody atmosphere.

The passion, the hunger, the good humor, it all connects with diverse crowds. Deliciously stripped down and vibrant, ’68 excels in intimate environments, to be sure, but is no less unignorable on giant festival stages or on the road with Bring Me The Horizon, Stone Sour, Beartooth, Avatar, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, and Underoath, where they’ve earned new converts every day.

In Humor and Sadness, the first album by ’68, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard New Artist Chart. Two Parts Viper followed in 2017. Grammy-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains) became a believer after just a few songs of a ’68 set. On ‘Give One Take One’, crafted with Raskulinecz in Nashville, the band’s high intensity bombast threatens but never swallows the underlying groove. – Ryan J Downey

‘Give One Take One’, the new album, is out now.

Black Lips + Jacuzzi Boys – Orlando – 3/31/24

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Black Lips + Jacuzzi Boys + DJ Smilin’ Dan on Sunday, March 31, 2024 @ The Abbey in Orlando. One of the Peach State’s wildest bands returns to Central Florida with Miami garage rockers Jacuzzi Boys.

Tickets: https://blacklips.eventbrite.com

7:00PM (Doors) | 8:00PM (Show) | 18+

 

Playing garage-flavored punk rock with a Southern accent, a messed-up and bluesy undertow, and the gleefully destructive impact of a 15-year-old with a bag of firecrackers, the Black Lips are a combo who, after their debut in 1999, soon developed a reputation as one of the Peach State’s wildest bands.

Garage punk saviors the Black Lips transform from austere country pioneers into a set of Lynchian surrealists, hellbent on recalibrating the history of 21st Century rock ‘n’ roll. Their new album ‘Apocalypse Love’  cryogenically mutates all recognized musical bases; it spins yarns about vintage Soviet synths, Benzedrine stupors, coup de’ tats, stolen valor, certified destruction and the creative use of quicksand, all set against a black setting sun.

The year, 2007. The Boys, Jacuzzi. Hatched inside a vulture’s nest, Jacuzzi Boys emerged from deep within the Florida wilds, three radioactive chicks cawing for their piece of electric rock pie. Since then, they’ve released four full-length LPs, multiple singles, and most recently, two EPs Dipped and Glue via their own imprint MAG MAG. And it’s with this bag of tunes in tow, that they’ve toured the world, and Europe and even the United States, with some of the most infamous names in rock like King Khan and the Shrines, Man or Astroman?, Vampire Weekend, the Raconteurs and their adopted uncle Iggy Pop. So the next time they’re in your town, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

THE OCEAN BLUE On Tour with Select Dates in 2024 Performing First Two Sire Albums – The Ocean Blue + Cerulean

In 2024, the band will be playing a select number of shows, performing their first two albums in full – The Ocean Blue and Cerulean – in dates throughout the U.S. as they continue work on a new album. 

Getting their start as teenagers in the late ‘80s in Hershey, PA, The Ocean Blue released their self-titled debut on the famed Sire Records that launched many of their heroes in the U.S., like the Smiths and Echo & the Bunnymen. Embraced by MTV, the band quickly made their mark on the onset of the Alternative Music scene. Their early singles “Between Something And Nothing” and “Drifting, Falling” notched them Top Ten hits on College and Modern Rock radio, setting in motion a run of four successful major label albums, followed by a string beloved independent releases from 2000 to the present. With eight albums and several EPs under their belt (Sire/Rhino reissued their first three albums in 2015), the band continues to do what it has always done with more plans for touring and releases on the horizon. 

The Ocean Blue is David Schelzel (vocals, guitar), Oed Ronne (guitar), Bobby Mittan (bass) and Peter Anderson (drums).

Los Angeles based Strangelove-The DEPECHE MODE Experience delivers a career-spanning, pitch-perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s 40+ year career. Songs from throughout the Depeche canon are lovingly recreated; from favorites on DM’s debut Speak and Spell to the newest fare from ‘Mode’s latest- 2017’s “Spirit”.

DEPECHE MODE’S MARTIN GORE ON STRANGELOVE-THE DEPECHE MODE EXPERIENCE:

“They do it to such fine detail that’s it’s scary. They play to very big crowds. They have videos that they’ve made, screens behind them, it’s like a full on production. I think they are fulfilling a fan’s needs by being there when we are not on tour. Keeping the fans satiated while we’re taking a break.”

Heroes Live Entertainment presents A Flock of Seagulls with special guest Strangelove–The Depeche Mode Experience on Sunday, January 14, 2024 @ The RITZ Ybor in Tampa, Florida.

Tickets: https://afos.eventbrite.com

Sunday, January 14, 2024 | 7:00PM (Doors) | 8:00PM (Show) | All Ages

 

As well-known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as their hit single “I Ran (So Far Away),” A Flock of Seagulls was one of the MTV video rotation staples of the new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and ruthlessly stylish new Romantic Movement, the group benefitted considerably from MTV’s heavy rotation of the “I Ran” video in the summer of 1982. Mike Score’s outrageous hairstyle is forever embedded in pop culture.

Hits include:
“TELECOMMUNICATION”
“I RAN (SO FAR AWAY)”
“WISHING (IF I HAD A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU)”
“SPACE AGE LOVE SONG”
“THE MORE YOU LIVE, THE MORE YOU LOVE”
“MODERN LOVE IS AUTOMATIC”

and more!

We’re delighted to be part of the 93 dates for Souls Of Mischief. One of the most important hip-hop groups to emerge from the Golden Age in the early 90’s.

The crew will be bringing that funky-introspection alongside their fresh, jazzy melodies and throwbacks globally – Expect golden age feels, limited edition merch and razor-sharp lyricism and flow – it’s a truly great tour to be a part of!

It is a blessing to be remembered and celebrated for our past work. It is a testament to the universality of the language of music that this album means so much to so many people, from multiple generations. We are humbled and excited to still be doing what we love.
– Souls Of Mischief, 2023

The legendary Breakbeat Lou – responsible for the quintessential series Ultimate Breaks & Beats – as well as one half of Homeliss Derilex, The Architect, will tour alongside Souls Of Mischief throughout the UK, Europe and US. A true bonus to every show!
