UK based power metal band I Am I have a bunch of tour dates scheduled for the near future as well as a confirmed appearance for early 2015.
Still promoting their ‘Event Horizon’ album, the band (featuring one time Dragonforce vocalist Z P Theart) can be caught at the following venues in 2014:
Championed by Joe Bonamassa, blues rock guitarist Carl Verheyen will be touring the UK in September promoting his 2014 release ‘Mustang Run’. All dates will feature one-time Satriani/G3 alumnus Stu Hamm on bass.
The legendary Bob Mould has recently unleashed a new video for ‘The War’, which you can watch in full below. The track comes from the one-time Husker Du/Sugar man’s 11th solo album ‘Beauty & Ruin’, released in June 2014.
To support the album, Bob is embarking on a full-scale tour – as of 5th September – as follows:
Self-proclaimed “sweaty, sexy dance punk” band Kill Matilda will be spreading their punky sounds all across Canada and the US from now right through ’til the middle of February on a mammoth run of tour dates which began a few nights ago.

Prior to its release in the last quarter of 2014, Portland’s Witch Mountain proclaimed ‘Mobile of Angels’ to be their “most complete album yet”. At that time, the band had already survived seventeen years of changing musical fashions alongside shifting personnel; the core of their sound now resembling an uncompromising, crushing slowness inflected with a bluesy tone. ‘Mobile’ certainly shows a hugely broad confidence and its material, for the most part, represents top class doom metal. Granted, the bulk of the songs do not necessarily represent anything that anyone bar the more committed doom fan would reach for on a regular basis, but then, it’s unlikely that Witch Mountain were ever looking for mass acceptance with this album – but in terms of becoming one of the strongest acts within their field, it’s a resounding success. It also acts as an epitaph for another phase of the band’s journey, being the last in a trilogy of discs to feature lead vocalist Uta Plotkin.
