Defy You Stars

A killer hometown band I stumbled across in my many Instagram sprees and even saw live at Warped 2014. The three piece set straight out of Denver, CO, Defy You Stars is alternative meets pop punk with some indie thrown in. Their catchy lyrics accompanied by killer beats that you can sing along with, get up and groove, headbang and even tear up a little, make for music you can't turn off.

This trio recently released their first album! Which can be found on  iTunes, Amazon, Twist & Shout, Rhapsody and physical copies of the CD and other merch here! 

They also have Facebook give them a like.

Their very own site- Defy You Stars

Check this song out and if you love it please check the album out and give it a download or purchase!

I'm super lucky to have met two out of the three band members and they were such sweethearts. Very fan involved and music driven. They get out there and promote themselves, they were delivering tickets to eager fans this past month for their show on March 21st at the Marquis Theater. 

There is still time to grab tickets so head to this site here. 

They also personally signed and wrote letters to fans who had pre-ordered their album. This band is going to go far and I'm excited to have caught them early enough in this journey! I'll be at the show on the 21st will you?

An artist named Ray Alexander makes up this one man band. Straight out of El Paso, Texas Something Else Broken is coming at you. For fans of Ghost Town, Breath Carolina and Blood on the Dance Floor. His musical style has electric feel and beats that make you want to move. Check this song out here and check out his Facebook page here.

The Riot Van

Another not-so-local to me (but could be to you) band called The Riot Van a four piece coming straight out of Staten Island, NY! For fans of bands with unique sounds stemming from punk, indie, and hard rock you'll love their sound. They love to play live and meet new people. Their bands goal is to evolve, play new music that hasn't been heard and leave a unique mark on society.

The band hasn't released a full EP yet so you are catching them early. Give their music a listen though and get on this ship before it sails. Their music can be found on SoundCloud and you can also see more up-to-date info on the band by following them on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

I love their sound, these guys put passion in what they do and to me nothing is more important. They kinda have a Blink 182 feel almost or a Smashing Pumpkins vibe. I enjoy it and I bet you will too! Click the links above, go leave them some love and check back soon for more kick-ass bands!
