Thoughts On grandson and His ILYIT Listening Event in New York City

“[I’m frequently asked], ‘why do you write about what you write about?’ Well, because I grew up the way that I did.” - Jordan Benjamin (grandson).  If you live near New York and follow internationally-acclaimed alt rock artist grandson, then you probably heard about the I Love You, I’m Trying listening event in Central Park that occurred earlier today; maybe you saw the ILYIT signs while out on a walk around the park...

Iconic Rockers Extreme Drop Two New Singles Simultaneously

Multi-platinum hard rock icons Extreme might be known for songs like "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted" but they're still turning out the hits. The band has been making waves lately with their single, "Rise." Now they're back with two new singles ahead of the release of their new album SIX on June 9th. 'SIX' Album Artwork "Banshee" is a seductive classic hard rock tune with a chugging rhythm section and playful guitar wizardry. The track features electrifying vocals that testify to the power and inspiration of the female form and spirit. It's the kind of song that'll get your blood pumping and your head banging. And then there's "#REBEL," a scathing track that takes on so-called keyboard warriors with its head-nodding beat and searing lead guitar runs. It's a hard-hitting anthe...
