Uproar Fest is the sickest metal tour going on. With bands like Hell Yeah, Halestorm Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed, you know it’s going to rock your socks off. But one of the up and coming bands that is getting their share of attention is Attika 7.
The Orange County based band has made their way into the music industry and many a-head banger’s heart, and band members Jay Rexx, Rusty Coones, Danielmark, and Tony Campos played one hell of a show Friday afternoon at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine. They kicked off the show with their hit song “Into The Blackness,“ their energy and chemistry on stage giving their performance that special quality every band wants but only few possess.
I had the special opportunity to meet the band and hang with them throughout the day, and while the guys were bombarded with fans praising their performance and taking photos, they seemed to enjoy every minute of it. The band is very humble and very appreciative and they let their fans know it.
Attika 7 released their EP on iTunes on September 7th, 2010, and it is also available at their website: www.attika7.com. Having just returned from touring Europe, the band is now back to work touring several venues in California. Listen for their music on Season 3 of Sons of Anarchy!
Attika 7 is managed by RJ Valdez of Arjay Management (arjaymanagement.com), and sponsored by RockStar Energy Drink, War, Serious Pimp, and Jagermeister. They just came out with new merchandise which will be released soon at Hot Topic and Spencer’s.
The Uproar Festival continues their tour through San Diego, Bakersfield, Phoenix, and Sacramento before heading to Washington. If you are planning on checking out the RockStar Uproar Fest, be sure to catch my new favorite band rocking it out on stage.
