Music News from the Rock Station, 92-7 WQLZ by Bishop

Interactive/multimedia content

With increasingly interactive media constantly updated online, the standard website with lame content will just not stand. Fans want more! Some bands are starting to pick up on that call for more content and are producing online Internet videos to provide a window into the bands daily life. Bands from the recent past that have done this include Godsmack while Metallica's ramp up to the album “Death Magnetic,” chock-full of rich and interactive multimedia content. Now, fans of Alice in Chains and In This Moment have something to log online for.

Making of

In This Moment, with the maddening metal from the band and wicked lyrics from the seductive Maria Brink, will surely entice their fans to clamor for the first of many online webisodes. You can catch part 1 of In This Moment's Making of Star Crossed Wasteland on YouTube. For the first installation, you can see Maria's pooch she named twinkle, the bedrooms the members are staying in and the bathroom where Maria gets ready for her day. Too cute! This is the first of many videos the band will produce to provide a window for fans to peer into surrounding the recording process of In This Moment's forthcoming album. Watch the intimate video here.
