Val Halla is living the dream, literally. Singer, songwriter, guitarist from Regina Saskatchewan with a “raspy whiskey voice & Plant-like shrieks, a knack for playing heavy groove based guitar riffs”, was ‘discovered’ by a friend of The Nuge when she played an acoustic gig in Waco, TX on her way to SXSW in Austin.

311
10/21/10 @ House of Blues
Atlantic City, NJ
Review by Alicia Longo
311 literally rocked the ‘House’ last night at the House of Blues on their fall US Tour, the floor of the balcony shook like an earthquake as fans jumped to the beat.

On the heels of the cancellation of their European tour, Austin, TX’s The Sword are also regretfully canceling the remainder of their scheduled US dates due to the departure of their drummer, Trivett Wingo.

Lamb of God Unable To Fly Into Ecuador, canceled shows due to the attempt to overthrow the Ecuadorian government.

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! Warp Riders, the highly anticipated 3rd album by Austin, TX’s THE SWORD hits stores today via Kemado Records.
