iceberg

October 24, 2019

While we’ve been playing Dirty Honey, When I’m Gone, pretty much since it released, I’ve not had a chance to dig deeper. Seeing them live just didn't present itself yet. All that changed last Sunday (10/20/19) when they opened up for Alter Bridge and Skillet at the legendary Bomb Factory...

October 11, 2019

When I agreed to write this review, I fully intended to write a full, comprehensive breakdown for anyone unfamiliar with Rough Dreams. With one EP and this single under their belts, it's more than obvious these dudes are prepared to be your next favorite band. Here's the problem; I'm legitimately...

If you want peace, prepare for peace While this goes dead set against an article I did many years ago where I discussed the normalization of extreme behavior, maybe it’s time we look at things from that perspective. In my years on this earth I’ve come to find you find...

The Joker – A Haunting Reflection of Our Modern World

Austin

October 7, 2019

I went into this movie knowing fully well that The Joker is not the "typical comic book movie" Joaquin Phoenix goes all in with any role that he is set to play but I still tempered my expectations. Reasons for low expectations? 1. DC has put out bust after bust...

Singles Only – Kali Ra – “Breathless”

Jeremy Riot

September 27, 2019

Not to take a swipe at the other contributors of this site, but I like to think I'm the black sheep of the black sheep of Renegade Radio. Many of my interests are of the "niche;" if Iceberg is going to hand me the aux cord after playing some Metallica,...

The Atom Age – Cry ‘Til You Die review

Jeremy Riot

August 26, 2019

If it's not broke, don't fix it. Many bands are content with treading familiar waters. This sound sells well. This is your sing along. Here's a slower variant of the songs you heard before. Rinse, repeat, send it to the presses. Punk rock is no stranger to this formula....

Memories as the Curtain Closes

iceberg

June 26, 2019

When I heard Curtain Club was closing, I’m not quite sure how it hit me. I loved the club and they were always great to work with on promotions of any kind we could think of here at Renegade Radio. Over time believe me, we've thought of a lot of...

Lava Cantina, The Colony, TX June 8th 2019 According to legend, back in 1994 Bowling for Soup was formed one evening over a few too many Zimas. While most people forget things they do, say, or promise after having too many malt beverages (or at least wish they could), fortunately...

Review: Wake Up Hate – Deep Sleep

iceberg

May 27, 2019

Wake Up Hate came to me by way of Tag Publicity and the amazing artists they represent. In going through some requests for airplay usually a few will stick out and make me hit “rewind” a few times. I got the whole release of Deep Sleep for review so in...

Review: Royal Bliss – Self Titled New Release

iceberg

April 29, 2019

Many years ago I heard a song from Royal Bliss called Crazy. The song itself pretty much defined everything I love about music and finding new bands. Since then I’ve dug into their history and wow, there’s a lot of it. Coming together in 1997 out of Utah, they are...

Dirty Honey, Alter Bridge and Skillet Wrap Up Fall 2019 Tour

The Bomb Factory - Dallas

While a rather short set of tour dates lasting just over a month, this trio of bands brought a stellar performance that will go down as one of the most energetic tours of 2019. Thankful for my photopass, I wanted to share some of the better shots here and give a bad ass show the credit and attention it deserves!

We start with their self-titled release in 2013 and talk about the growth and evolution they found moving into 2015’s Revival and then their 2019 release VooDoo (reviewed here on Renegade earlier this year) and how their sound has changed over the years. Great insight to come killer music!
