Last Saturday was a gloomy day, met with an equally lethargic mood by this concert fan. Somehow, however, I mustered up the energy to go to a heavy metal concert in DC, and boy was I glad I did! Throwdown Syndicate put on a great show, loud enough to wake even Rip Van Winkle. I don’t think there was a bob-less head in the house - ferocious guitar riffs hammered out by James Reeves bass line and screams by Luis Trigueros and of course the all important rapid drum line, courtesy of Andy Och. Check them out if you are looking for a very talented local metal group in DC!
One of the surprise highlights of the night was the retro sound of “New Retro.” With their ability to strum out vintage sounding riffs and Aubrey Ché Adams big presence making the room sing and dance with emotion, the catchy hook of “Out of Sight Out of Mind” phrase on repeat, building up to what can only be called controlled yelling in perfect pitch. So jam out and get your groove on and funk out with New Retro.

Finding your next favorite band is just a click away!
Music discovery is euphoric, finding a band that plays gritty riffs or detached harmonies fills a void and makes one whole. I personally love discovering a band or a two that goes with a changing mood, maturity level or simply fits with the transforming seasons.
Although as time passed, I grew up. I flew away from a college of my peers, the excitement of new music faded, I found music discovery more overwhelming than ever before. I would open any of the local papers around me and see page after page of bands playing around town, I was exhausted and didn’t have the gusto to roll the dice and waste a night. Sure bands have recordings online, but that’s just what they are, recordings. I didn’t have the time to gamble on live music, I was a “professional.”
Enter idea: CrowdRage.
Why not create an interactive place for local shows instead of wordy reviews? Why not create an objective rating system where bands can promote the electric energy they bring to the stage day in and night out? Why not create a medium for fans to support rising stars and share opinions about the small live shows of greater DC/MD/VA? CrowdRage will be an all inclusive one stop shop for live music at small local venues. CrowdRage will help bands break out and help YOU discover them.
We hope you brows around and become energized again as finding your next favorite band is just a click away!
