Stryper Brings Home Their Metal Sound: Concert Review "To Hell With the Devil"

Stryper Brings Metal Stings with Their 30th Anniversary Album Celebration Tour: To Hell With the Devil with Song River

It was a 'sweet' celebration Stryper brought with them everything a 30th-anniversary celebration should bring and then some! The strength and heart as the yellow and black brought the hard rock attack back to Arizona, as the Nile Theatre was packed with die hard fans that came from some sort of faith background so it seemed and included a wide age group range.

Stryper really was the premiere heavy metal Christian rock band that came onto the scene back in the 80's and pioneered the way and without a doubt still brings the best of it all today. Still working with the original lineup of vocalist Michael Sweet, drummer Robert Sweet, bassist Timothy Gaines and guitarist Oz Fox hitting the 30th-anniversary release, 1986's album, To Hell With the Devil. The album spoke to so many when it was released and today those fans who fell in love with To Hell With the De…

Up Close & Personal with Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet

By Contributing writer and photographer Song River

The land of Michigan has given the world a deluge of multiple necessities and sheer pleasures outside of what at one time was the auto industry mecca. Like its heart and soul of the blue collared working person that breeds an indelible, almost pioneer spirit, the music from here reflects its surroundings as once again this 26th state, added to the Union in January of 1837, is having a rebirth. The possibility of this land known warmly for its industrial explosion in the region of the Great Lakes is now standing at possibly a new dawn... the creation of being a strong contender for the music scene, much like Nashville is today.

With this in mind, the resonating rock and blues plus more yet to be revealed have begun with the band, Greta Van Fleet. They are poised and ready to bring the elements of rock n' roll up to the next level.

Recently bassist Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet took some time out while they are on tour to give their …

Concert Review: Adam Ant 'Vive le Rock and le Dandy'

Adam Ant at the Celebrity Theatre by H. Reavis
How does one categorize a man who is one part rock star, several parts romantic highwayman, a dash of the peculiar gentleman, and a whole lot of British? One doesn’t. He must be christened and his name yelled in revered abandon: it’s Adam Ant.
With a career spanning more than thirty years, the charismatic Adam has enjoyed chart success, awards (particularly the Q Music Icon Award in 2008), movie roles including Drop Dead Rock with Debbie Harry, and sold out concert performances worldwide. His music videos revolutionized the visual aid for musicians with storytelling in lieu of the standard promo. Drawing from his experience in art school his videos chronicled the adventures of his romantic pirate alter ego in “Stand and Deliver” and “Prince Charming.”

Currently in the throes of another tour called Anthems, which is a follow-up to his successful Kings of the Wild Frontier Tour, Adam, and the band are bringing his extensive singles catalog to b…

Interview with Michael Sweet of Stryper A Man of Few Regrets

with Song River

Whether it is the challenge of growing up too fast, playing in a band that he loves, flying solo, working on music projects, the loss of a loved one, or just kicking back at home musician/singer-songwriter Michael Sweet greets each day as if it were to be his first and his last. With an eagerness to say yes and come what may. His faith in God has carried him to say, "I am not a man of many regrets."
Song River: Being on tour for a band must be an almighty passion. What is it though that most bands do when they have a 'day off' while they are out touring?
Michael Sweet: To be honest, aside from interviews and social media, it is a day we finally get to do our laundry! [laughed] I am so OCD about doing laundry. You got to be the first one up if you want to get it done.
Song River: Laundry day has to be a good day! When you are on the road and away from home what are some of the things you miss?
Michael Sweet: Of course I don't like being away from my fam…
