Ellie Goulding fans in Los Angeles are fierce and loyal. They adore their British goddess whom performed at the Royal Wedding and the proof is in the number of minutes within which her show at Troubadour sold out. Part of the British Invasion taking over the air waves along side Mumford and Sons, One Direction, and the Ed Sheeran kind, Ellie Goulding’s most recent album "Halcyon" was released October 9th and is No. 18 on the iTunes album charts.

The Truth Is Singer Songwriter Jessarae Is A Rock Star With Raw Energy
Interview and Album Review by Nicole Hanratty
Rock Star Music News
October 12, 2012

via Telephone October 2, 2012

Jessarae's charitable spirit at a young age is perhaps the most admirable thing about him, but his talent is the most striking. One song after the next on his album "Pilot" takes you on a journey through questions that revolve around identity, love, and challenges we all face regardless of age. He blends rock music with vocals and lyrics that play with a distinctive blues infused sound.


The songs on Jessarae’s “Pilot” album scream hot new artist on the rise. It's no surprise he has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Seal, Plain White T's, Five for Fighting, John Legend and The Roots, Gavin Rossdale, Sugar Ray and Matisyahu. "Seen It All Before" is a strong representation of all he embodies and after spending some time chatting with him, there is no question success is his to grasp. Read More...

Rock Star Album Review
“No Honor” EP Released September 4, 2012
by Nicole Hanratty
Via Telephone September 24, 2012

Jade<3 and Jonathan Carmelli are “all about a vibe and an emotion.” Their band, Blind Benny is doing something different and that something is worth following.

Jade<3, songwriter and vocalist was born and raised in New York. She sang in her father’s church and attended La Guardia School of Performing Arts. When this Puerto Rican songstress met up with Jonathan Carmelli, guitarist & producer, they formed a band called Blind Benny. Their music is shaking up the genre of
world rock crisscrossing through the pop rock and soul.

Blind Benny’s first EP titled “No Honor,” reflects Jade<3’s obsession with “human behavior.” Each song is soulful and with purpose, an inside look at how love and life collide.

One more week it’s “One More Night” in the No. 1 slot on
Billboard’s Top 100.

Ready for some Saturday Satire and to catch up with the music countdown? With politics heating up…we thought we would devote this week’s countdown to that final hour when there is only “
One More Night on the Campaign Trail.” Life of a Rock Star™ aspires to poke equal fun at both the left and right and avoid the middle at all costs. All quotes are fake, contrived and satirical. The over riding theme should be interpreted as none other than VOTE.

Life of a Rock Star™ presents “One More Night on the Campaign Trail”

On this election-eve President Obama was asked why he decided to run for re-election. He replied, “I
Did It For The Girl who lost her medical insurance because Romney earmarked those funds for Beer Money. I like beer as much as the next guy and Nobody’s Perfect, but let’s not go Numb to the uninsurable. BTW - my Heart Skips a Beat when I think of the Bag Of Money donated to my campaign by Obamacare supporters.”

Mitt Romney was asked also why he decided to run for office. He replied, “After planning the Winter Olympics, I missed the spotlight
Shinin’ On Me. So what if burning oil is spewing Radioactive particles into the environment, I stand by my assertion that you can’t drive a car with a windmill strapped to the roof.

Green Day blew up the stage at iHeart Radio music festival where the band’s energy and music brought the audience alive. They played one massive hit after another and killed it.

Interview with Singer / Songwriter Mike Rosenberg of Passenger on his new album "All The Little Lights" and his Concert Tour with Ed Sheeran
by Nicole Hanratty

Passenger opens for the
Ed Sheeran concert on tour throughout the U.S., and while Mike Rosenberg--the singer songwriter of Passenger music--is by no means new to the music scene, his sound is now being heard and discovered by the masses, and they are loving what they hear. Currently #20 on the iTunes Singer Songwriter chart, “Let Her Go” is set to be Passenger’s breakout hit. (See “Let Her Go” on LOARS Love Songs playlist.)

[“Let Her Go” song lyrics: “Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low, only hate the road when you’re missing home. Only know you love her when you let her go… And you let her go.”]

Passenger’s rock music has a folk twist and without question is a sound we love that is somewhat akin to Mumford & Sons. Life of a Rock Star™ was excited to spend some time chatting with Mike and learning more about the newest sensation from the U.K. Read More...
