With Halloween drawing closer and closer each day, it seems like everyone is starting to get ready for it. And yes, this includes our good friends at Muncie’s esteemed university. Much has happened since that day in 1996 when a group of musicians got together and named their band after a frying pan. Since then, …
The Adam Hofmann Revival band just cut their second album called, “You’ll Get There” at Water Music with engineer Rick Kwan.

In time they decided to make it a full time project. Thank you for that. Their first full length album off of Century Media entitled …

One of the great things about the Rock Star Mayhem festival is the chance to find more bands for your musical arsenal that you may have never heard before. This year was no different. When Straight Line Stitch appeared on the bill there were mixed feelings about the band. Once they hit the stage they …
