Artist: Journey

Sammy Hagar is previewing an upcoming solo album that finds him reuniting with Journey's Neal Schon. The two first worked together as members of HSAS in the early 1980s. Hagar's fellow Chickenfoot members Michael Anthony and Chad Smith are also featured. "We had a blast today," Hagar says in the video below, which finds the quartet goofing around on a [...]

Vital Information's Steve Smith, drummer with Journey during its turn-of-the-1980s platinum heyday, will unveil a collection of art created from his own musical performances called The Fabric of Rhythm on May 15, 2013. The pieces are created through a detail and meticulous process of light manipulation and time lapse filming. (A video preview is below.) Smith's collection, which will debut [...]

Guitarist Neal Schon is returning to some familiar 1980s-era musical associations - though neither of them are Journey. Instead, he's rekindling associations from the days of HSAS, and Schon and Hammer. He's just finished recording with Sammy Hagar of Chickenfoot - with whom Schon was a member of HSAS. Their 1984 album Through the Fire, which included a memorable cover [...]

RIP, Barry Fey. Fey always struck me as a "rock" guy. "Rock" as a general noun where anything that could be rock was a good thing - in the way non-music fans romanticized the word rock without any true context or scrutiny. I abhor that idea of "rock" because it's akin to walking into a museum [...] The post Barry Fey, RIP: A love letter to what Denver has become. appeared first on Your Music Is Awful.com .

After more than a decade without an official release, Big Country is back with the new record, The Journey (via Cherry Red Records), which landed at #68 on the UK charts its first week out. The aptly titled album comes on the heels of a veracious two-year tour during which the legendary ...

In searching for forgotten gems from Journey, we left aside arena-filling efforts from Escape through Trial by Fire - which combined sold some 18 million copies. Been there, done that, right? We also left aside the post-Steve Perry era, since - let's be honest - you could argue that all of those tracks are, outside of Journey's most committed fans, [...]

Gregg Rolie begins with a simmering piano signature, then slowly settles into a greasy groove - setting the stage for some of his first new music since a 2011 solo EP. Before that, Rolie last issued a full-band studio effort in 2001, with Roots. "Struck By Lightning," however, doesn't mimic his earlier successes with Journey and Santana, so much as [...]

Just back from another well-received round of shows with the All-Starr Band, Gregg Rolie continues working on a new solo release - the Santana/Journey co-founder's first since 2011. Rolie posted a new photo with Frenchie Smith and Sean Rolie, taken at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas, as they were "finishing mixes on new material." Austin-based Smith has worked as [...]

Directed by: Ramona S. Diaz Stars: Arnel Pineda, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain MPAA: Unrated The basic framework of the rock 'n roll documentary was established so long ago that the essential parody of the form, This Is Spinal Tap, was made nearly 30 years ago. Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey fits that framework almost to [...] The post Film Review: Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Journey's most recent release, 20112s heavy-rocking Eclipse, debuted at No. 13 in the U.S. - but keyboardist Jonathan Cain says sales quickly fell off afterward. That has Journey, he says, rethinking their entire approach to recording. Like most bands from the classic-rock era, new albums are not the draw they once were. Many, like Styx, are simply releasing singles - [...]

In no particular order other than the order in which they popped into my head... "Double Vision" Foreigner (No. 2, 1978, from Double Vision ) The problem with being a rock & roll band that had its biggest hits with power ballads ("Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "I Want to Know What Love Is," Foreigners only No. 1 U.S. single) is that it makes it easy for people to forget how great you sounded in the vicinity of crashing guitars. If I'd forgotten about Foreigner's considerable rock might, I received a bracing [...]

Tonight at Bottom of the Hill, Rogue Wave is playing a sold out show for the 2013 Noise Pop Festival. This isn't particularly newsworthy; they've done it before. What's a big deal about this is that it's Rogue Wave's first hometown show in a couple of years, and it comes soon after the completion [...] The post Spinning Platters Interview: Pat Spurgeon of Rogue Wave appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Neal Schon issued his seventh project away from Journey late in 2012, and he already has another one on the way - and, perhaps, a solo tour, as well. Last year's well-received instrumental project The Calling found Schon reuniting with old friend Steve Smith, drummer in Journey through its biggest chart successes in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The [...]

There's something of a drastic lack of fun, and with it frivolity innately located within contemporary hip hop which, when you gaze back retrospectively over the genre's mischievous previous, is ever so slightly disheartening. Though reinserting some of that same impishness of yore is Vancouver's  Blac Hollywood , aka Cephas Munga, whose freebie  Kids With Crowns EP pairs up a more elate and electronica-flecked take on the so-called  chillwave of Toro Y Moi et al. with that same playfulness to have propelled Edinburgh's Young Fathers to a starker prominence in recent times. All nifty scratches [...]

Journey is one of the most popular bands of all time. Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey follows current singer Arnel Pineda and his fairy tale life. http://everymansjourney.com/

I got sucked into The A-Team on cable. Three hours later, I had watched about an hour and a half more of the exploits of Hannibal Smith and friends in movie form than I had ever watched of the television series. As I was a kid at the time The A-Team initially aired, I was well aware of it. It was enormously popular for awhile and I imagine I undoubtedly checked it out for ten or fifteen minutes on a Tuesday night. (with five, six channels and no cable, [...]

Steve Lukather steps away from tours alongside Toto, Ringo Starr and Steve Vai to issue one of his most bitingly confessional solo recordings yet, while Aaron Neville goes way back for doo wop. Elsewhere in this intriguingly varied grouping of New Music Monday entries is the long-awaited return of indie-rock favorites Camper van Beethoven, some offbeat jazz from the deliciously [...]

Max Payne 3 - "TEARS" (by HEALTH) In a world where video game music is often times just Hans Zimmer rip offs (or just straight up Hans Zimmer ) there is "TEARS." Heavy, industrial and entir ely unique, "TEARS" adds weight to protagonists Max's "hell in a hand-basket" situation. Performed by the art-rock band HEALTH,  "TEARS" is a wonderful example of what more game soundtracks should do: Take a chance. The Walking Dead - "Take Us Back" (by Alela Diane) Whether [...]
