The two talented and very cute guys behind the Australian indie pop songs caught my ear when it came time to compile the Life of a Rock Star™ Back To School playlist. “Set Alight” (on the Sun City EP also titled “Set Alight” ) is the perfect blend of upbeat and forward motion dance music balanced with lyrics that are thought provoking and relatable. The song was an automatic add to the playlist and the EP has become a favorite.
This week I got the chance to interview Daniel and Tobias (Dan and Tobes). What unfolded made me smile and I think will make you smile too! These two guys have it all together. With their talent and great personalities they are headed towards enormous success. Read More...

New Music ★ MUSE ★ Music News ★ SONG OF THE WEEK ★ Alternative Rock ★ Music Review
“Is this real love or is it just madness keeping us afloat?”
We all know that love is pure madness, and this song takes you into a sheer dream-like state musically bouncing you around inside the padded walls of mad love.
The infusion of electronics into their alternative sound keeps Muse current and fresh. The sound is addicting with a gritty rock guitar solo that shows the ability of the band to vary the direction of the music they produce. Read More...

Arctic Monkeys
"Come Together"
In the spirit of the Summer Olympics in London, Life of a Rock Star™ has chosen a song off of the “Isles of Wonder” album for Song of the Week.
The Arctic Monkeys cover The Beatles tune, “Come Together” with an old school sound that does proper homage to The Beatles and the true intention of the song. It is a song that evokes global international spirit--although that is far from the origin of the inspiration for the writing of the song--during a time when it is most needed. Read More...

John West on his humble hustle

"To the dreamers everywhere..."
Interview with John West
by Nicole Hanratty @LifeofaRockStar
Every once in a while you meet someone whom you know has what it takes to succeed.
I found John West on itunes one random afternoon while in search of some music that could prove to be mind altering. (I was having an existential moment.) Three of his songs "Lovely" with PushaT @PUSHA_T, "Loved You Tonight," --my favorite--and "Right Now" made it to my daily workout playlist and helped my brain switch gears from "can't even focus on breathing" to "run and relax" mode.
Curiosity appropriately peaked, I connected with the artist @JohnWest on Twitter, then began to see something special appear in my timeline. Hashtagging his tweets #HumbleHustle this rising star moves about the country playing accessible venues, reaching out to fans and bringing a real face to the struggle up and coming musicians experience.
