G4 TV did a segment about the PAX East conference, a video game conference in Boston. As they were talking with Harmonix about the new Rock Band Network, they showed clips of someone scrolling through the store menu alphabetically and Not Your Enemy and Disaster are right next to each other. It was really quick but we noticed it. Later, they showed another clip of someone scrolling through artists and it showed “megaphone” with all three songs underneath.

Every once in a while in the Rock Band blog, the Harmonix developers pick their favorite RBN songs. One of them picked Gravitate. Here’s what they said: megaphone - “Gravitate” - I really like the chorus on “Gravitate”. There’s a cool guitar riff that kicks it off each time, and the melody is just fun to sing.

Check out their blog here!

“Not Your Enemy” has just been added and is now available to download and play on Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360 through the new Rock Band Network! Check it out!

“Gravitate” has just been added and is now available to download and play on Rock Band 2 through the new Rock Band Network! This one is a little more challenging than “My Favorite New Disaster” Check it out! “Not Your Enemy” from our first release For Cryin’ Out Loud, should be available later this week!

I really don’t like focusing on negative things, but this really cracked me up. It’s been bugging me that some person went onto the iTunes page for our new album and left a crappy review because he/she didn’t like us at the AC/DC show. On the bright side, the review clearly states that we OPENED FOR AC/DC so that’s pretty sweet. But the negative review still bugged me. And then I saw this.. Read »

For the past two weeks or so, I’ve been hard at work turning megaphone rock songs into video game awesomeness. You’ve heard of the game Rock Band…right? Oh you actually do live under a rock? Weird… Read »

No, this isn’t a post about relationships. My girlfriend probably wouldn’t appreciate that much. As you can probably tell from the picture, it’s about a weird contraption that you step on, otherwise known as a “kick pedal.” “What’s that,” you ask. “No I didn’t ask that,” you say, “get on with it.” Sorry but not everyone is as brilliant as you.

The kick pedal is what a drummer uses to hit the kick, or bass, drum. The one in the picture is the same kind that I use. In fact, I’ve used the same one for about 8 years. So what’s the deal with “being single?” Let me show you what some people use. Read »

I’m not sure how strange it is for someone in a band to write a review of a show that they played, but I think I have a pretty unique perspective, and I’d like to tell you about it, so here goes.

***DISCLAIMER*** I do not claim to be a professional writer, or music critic.  I also do not think that I am too cool to like music that has the ability to appeal to the mainstream.  If I did, I would probably have a job as a professional writer and music critic. Read »

We officially announced the title of the next megaphone album on WJRR’s Native Noise a couple weeks ago. In case you missed it, it’s going to be called “EXIT SILENT MODE.” We tossed around a few ideas for a while but finally settled on this for a few reasons…but that’s another blog post. After a lot of internal back-and-forth, we also nailed down the track listing, so without further ado, here it is! Read »

If you’re a fan of rock music and you’re in the Orlando area, there is a show coming up that you absolutely can’t miss. Next Saturday, May 23rd, the House of Blues is hosting the Social Ghost album release show. Those guys are good friends of ours and they know how to bring the rock. Their new album, “War Without a Gun” has been a long time coming (sounds kind of familiar, right?!) and it promises to be AWESOME!

They’re even offering free tickets on their Myspace. Without one of those tickets, it’s $5 at the door so I’d recommend you get some free ones. Also on the bill is Transmit Now, Fall of Envy and Afterglow Radio. In short, get your asses to Downtown Disney and support some of the best rock bands in town!
