Thank You For Three Years Of Support

 

 As of the 11th of this month, BTG is officially three years old. Thanks to all the fans and artists who have supported the site and contributed. Updates have come a bit slow recently since my wife was in the hospital, but i'm happy to announce that she is home and well. Expect much more coming your way in the coming weeks. More bands, more interviews, more reviews, and hopefully more of everything you're wanting out of a music blog.

  I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to support music on the site. Thanks to Matt from Run For Your Life for all the support and playing unsigned music on his radio show as well as playing the BTG song of the week every week. Thanks to Tara from A Brilliant Lie for always being there when I need a bitch session and for all of the support with the page. Way too many people to thank individually, but just know that if you've supported the site, or just stopped by to check out a band, I appreciate it. Much more to come.

Die Mannequin
The Canadian rock band continues to impress with their material. They've been around for a little while now, but don't have the mass audience they deserve yet. A new album may change that.

The Rant - Music Promotions

   The Rant is something new i'm adding to BTG. It isn't meant to offend or cause arguments. It is however meant to start a discussion and make people aware of different opinions and get them talking. In the end I hope there will be some meaningful discussion and thought involved on everyone's part. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read, share, and comment on here or on the Facebook page.

    The first topic i'm going to hit on is running a music promotion page and website. I'm relatively new to all of this. This project will be two years old on July 12, 2013 and i'm certainly no expert at this. In fact, if I had to give myself a grade on all of this it would probably be a D -. It has been a lot of trial and error and a lot of mistakes but i am finally getting around to making the project what it was originally intended to be. Thanks to those who stuck with me.

Review - Skarlett Riot - Tear Me Down

 Skarlett Riot is back with their full length cd  Tear Me Down. Coming off of their 2012 EP release Villain, the band has crafted an amazing ten song compilation that has the band getting it right on all fronts. This isn't simply the last EP with a few songs added to it. Only "Villain" and "Party Hard" make the transition over to the full album. What you get is the biggest and best Skarlett Riot release yet and another contender for album of the year.

  Opening up with the track "Faded Memory" the band starts on a high note and just keeps going. The quality and craftsmanship put into each song really showcases the professionalism that went into this release. While their last EP was a solid release that I
