Bring Back Glam! Favorite Albums Of 2023

Now that 2023 is officially over and behind us, I wanted to share some of my favorite releases of the past year.

These are in no particular order – just stuff I really enjoyed and kept coming back to, time after time. An asterisk means I bought the vinyl version, too!   

• Conquer Divide, Slow Burn*
• Dirty Honey, Can’t Find The Brakes
• Beartooth, The Surface
• I See Stars, D4MAGE DONE
• Stray View (Dave Escamilla new project), “What’s Done Is Done” (just a song but I hope the future album is just as good!)
• Asking Alexandria, Where Do We Go From Here?
• Steel Panther, On The Prowl
• Attack Attack! Dark Waves*
• Winger, Seven
• Def Leppard with the Royal Philharmonic, Drastic Symphonies *
• Falling In Reverse, Neon Zombie (well, really the track “Watch The World Burn”)
• The Rolling Stones, Hackney Diamonds

The video for "Watch The World Burn" has to be the best music clip of the year, by far:

ShipRocked 2023 Bands Announced

The next ShipRocked cruise will take place at the end of January 2023. A first round of bands was released today, including Falling In Reverse as one of the headliner acts. Lots of cabins are already booked but there are some left, so if this lineup interests you, I would move on it. The cruise sails to Half Moon Cay, Amber Cove and Grand Turk.

We are proud to announce the 1st Platoon of Performers for your #RevolutionaryVacation, #ShipRocked 2023!
