It ain't no miracle

If you've been itching for some new Nonpoint and are already board of the new tune on the radio, which just so happens to be the title track for their new album, you will surely dig this. “Shadow,” the latest from the Florida natives is available streaming online. The song will be found on the forthcoming album “Miracle” due out May 4th. The new album is actually produced by both Chad Gray and Greg Tribbet of Mudvayne! Listen to the new single below:

STP to air on VH1

They went nearly a decade before releasing new material and touring for fans. Now that they're on the road and pimping the upcoming release of their new album, Stone Temple Pilots are back in business. If you missed their Chicago concert a month ago, don't worry! If you did see them in Chicago a month ago and wish you could have captured the magic, don't worry! The March 21st show from the Rivera in Chicago will air on VH1 May 21st during the show “Friday Night Alright.” The VH1 program, “Friday Night Alright” is being dubbed an HD show of first-class concerts from around the world … should be worth busting out the DVR.

Yet another

Webisodes are becoming more popular, this time as Trivium uses them to provide a sneak peak of what's going on behind the scenes. This is great for modern day rock fans. Back in the day, you may have gotten your hands on some band produced VHS tape showing poorly shot and grainy footage of their work in the studio. But now, with HD cameras a dime a dozen and everyone being hooked up on the Internet, you can have access to these types of behind the scenes poorly produced mini documentaries, or as their being called webisodes. Check out Trivium's first of three webisodes here. Trivium's new webisode will look into the making of the song “Shattering the Skies Above” for the video game “God of War 3.”
