Heads up High Voltage fans, there’s a lot of new albums coming out this summer. Here’s a quick guide to a few we think you should pick up: 1. Louisiana born blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd will be releasing How I Go on August 2nd. Similar to Jonny Lang, KWS started at a young age and barely in his 30s […]

You’ve probably heard the news by now (or saw our line-up leak flyer photo on twitter last night), but the SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL 2011 line-up is out. Headliners include Motley Crue, Bush, Matt & Kim, She Wants Revenge and many more. While previous headliners Ozzy Osbourne and Smashing Pumpkins are quite the rock legends in their own right, it […]
