Bourbon and Beyond 2019 Full Lineup Announcement and Preview!

Bourbon and Beyond is back yet again with another outstanding lineup after being forced to cancel the 2nd day in 2018, due to flooding and heavy rainfall. This rained also caused the whole Louder Than Life festival to be cancelled last year as well. But not to worry, the Danny Wimmer Presents team and the City of Louisville have came together and found an incredible place to have Bourbon and Beyond this year. The Bourbon and Beyond festival along with Louder Than Life and the brand spanking new festival “Hometown Rising” will be home to the Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, KY. This new location will prevent the rain from stopping the great music and the heads moving! Last year’s Bourbon and Beyond festival was super thrilling even though it just went for one day. Acts like Larkin Poe, Swimming With Bears, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer, Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers, you can’t go wrong! I had such a good experience last year watching all these acts come together and showing Louisville what it was all about! The rain didn’t stop the crowd from rocking! Even though I thought for sure we were going to be washed away, it did not stop the crowd from enjoying the music whatsoever! When you have a heart for music, nothing gets in the way!

Modern Musical Instruments

Modern musical instruments

A sound guitar is basically a hollow box with a hole in which voice and its introduction are stuck when the straps are stuck. An electric guitar uses the wire of the light (light gauge) and picks it up (small microphones) that raises the sound and sends it to an amplifier, where the sound can be adjusted or adjusted downward and it can be different phase Operates through pedal, like different sound of your favorite rock band or guitar superstar. If you need help to choose the best amplifier then here we have https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/guitar-amplifiers.

Electric acoustic guitar

Electric acoustic guitar offers the best in both worlds. It can be played without enhancing, you know, like you are playing campfire around the beach or sitting around the ass with some friends or singing only a few songs. Or you can execute it and add a little bit of power that focuses on unwanted viewers and increase the efficiency of your performance.

An acoustic electric guitar is usually a small-raised system installed under the bridge, installed inside the guitar. It is usually a pizza ceramic or magnetic snap. Many models of Sony Holes are also leaves easily installed and removed as needed. Real beauty hills of these sound holes are picked up; they do not affect the integrity of the guitar’s original price by changing their original designs.

Multiple amplifiers

Two types of guitar do not confuse the difference between amplifiers. She is the place of both. Let’s learn the guitar amplifier first. This AMP is specifically designed to capture the talent and negligence of the sound guitar. If you’ve ever experienced the old guitar ringtones, you’ll know what I mean. A sound guitar amplifier normally defines more stringently than the regular electronic guitar amplifier. So you can really zip your audience with extra cartoon to fill the room with this music.

Tube guitar amplifiers

This is the oldest type of AMP, and many people, still have the best sound. Sweet classic heads, power-saving, more than solid state implants on the same voltage. Tubes are broken and each time they often need to be replaced

Solid State Guitar Amplifiers

In these, the tubes have been replaced with a transmitter. Profession: Very strong for heavy use, especially for guitar is rock of 80. Strong head on high head and overall skinny head than tubes

Digital Guitar Amps

In addition to this, digital modeling is also called AMP; this is one of the most modern generations. There are many types of sounds and effects that include more expensive imaging modes. Fantastic for the core of the band, require huge sounds. Fake sounds on cheap models are fake sounds, though more expensive people are very good. A bit of high learning wickets are to learn about getting all the sounds.

Hybrid Guitar Imps

These fitted tubes and solid state transmitters. Usually, with amplitude and transmitter running tubes, it is used for effects and so on. While the head will not die like a good tube AMP, you will be close to a lot of money.

CORRODED Bring The Heat With “Bitter”- Album Review

Swedish hard rockers Corroded are back with their fifth album, Bitter, out via Despotz Records. Since 2009, Corroded has been the backdrop of many forms of media, having the music featured in Sweden’s 2009 season of Survivor and the video game Battlefield Play4Free. Taking influences from Black Sabbath and Machine Head, Corroded have hard-hitting riffs that memorable and combined with Jen Westlin’s vocals make crowd-pleasing anthems. Since their last release, Defcon Zero, Corroded has played all across Europe, selling out shows with Pain as well as their own headlining tour. Playing massive crowds at Sabaton Open Air, Skogsröjet and Sweden Rock Festival, where they broke records as the largest crowd at the 4 Sound Stage

Corroded pride themselves as being brothers, a family unit that works together to put music out into the ether. According to Westlin, “It’s what has gotten us where we are today – we never give up – despite setbacks that have hit us like a fist to the face we get up and use that as inspiration to create new music.” says Westlin, “Our background is in the working class which is reflected in our music. The fact that we’ve had to struggle with various setbacks to get where we are today has given us thicker skin and shines through in our music.” This album leans a little more on the heavier side than their previous work. A lot of their influences blend well together, finding a blend of European power metal with Southern American spices spread throughout. The album starts with an intro track, something that is a bit dated now but can be easily hand waived. No harm, no foul. But the second track, “Breathing”, you see the unity this band has through their music. Each bringing their own to this song, especially Guitarist Tomas Andersson. The main riff is very catchy and gets rhythm support by Per Solang (drums) and Bjarne Elvsgard (bass). This album is full of great battle anthems, something they excel at, like “Testament”. Full of chanting vocals, this is sure to become a fan favorite in their setlist. This is paired well with the follow-up track, “Scream”; Catchy choruses seem to be their bread and butter. The fastest track, “Destruction”, is a great biker rock anthem. That ended up becoming my personal favorite, featuring Westlin’s diverse vocal talent. 

This is a very accessible band for fans of hard rock who are maybe looking for something a little heavier at the summer festival. With chanty choruses, I can see many beer glasses raised in Corroded’s honor. Bitter is a good track for your summer is available now! Corroded is Jens Westlin(Lead Vocals), Tomas Andersson (Guitars), Bjarne Elvsgard  (Bass), Per Solang (Drums). To keep up with them, follow them on Facebook and their website
