Stone Sour Listening Party in Austin

Stone Sour is back with a new album and there is a listening party for it here in Austin this Tuesday at Red Eyed Fly. Stone Sour is fronted by Corey Taylor, who also is a vocalist for Slipknot. They are harder radio rock with some agnst and heavy riffs mixed in. If you haven't heard them, and like hard rock that isn't too rip your face off, give Stone Sour a listen. Here is their new video for their single"Say You'll Haunt Me" off of their new album Album Secrecy:



Something even better for those of you who attend the listening party....

The Red Eyed Fly agreed to give away a pair of tickets to see popular '90s alt-rockers, Sponge, who are playing this Thursday. I'm hoping to check it out.

Austin listening parties at Red Eyed Fly

I just thought I'd let you hardcore music fans know about some new album release listening parties happening this month at Red Eyed Fly. Pantera is re-releasing one of their oldies but goodies and System of a Down's Serj Tankian releases a solo album. I'm stoked about the Pantera album as I'm curious about any remastering or bonus tracks or whatever else may come with the release. This also gives me a reason to post the "Cowboys From Hell" music video.

(7/13) Korn listening party at Encore Records

Korn is releasing a new album tomorrow, titled Remember Who We Are.There is a listening party happening at Encore Records starting at 8:00pm and one lucky winner will come home with a signed Korn lithograph. Remember Who We Are is Korn's ninth album and their first on Roadrunner Records. As a long time fan, I am looking forward to it but I already know it will never be what early Korn was for me. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, who knows? See the poster above for details.
