Early Thursday morning 106.7 KBPI’s Willie B. announced that Lola Black has joined the ranks of just six other local bands to hold the station’s “Best Band in Denver” title. The female-fronted rock band also made station history with Lola Black being the first woman to even advance past the semi-final rounds — let alone win the title.

Like fans of science fiction and fantasy literature, metalheads tend to enjoy a lack of buyer’s remorse. If you pick up a hardcover of fantasy novelist George R.R.

When Lzzy Hale says, “I have needs that need to be met tonight,” you better believe she’s going to get a response. Revolver Magazine’s “Hottest Chick in Rock” had the sold out crowd at Summit Music Hall wrapped around her finger on Thursday night, proving that sex still sells in rock ‘n roll.

Someone should tell Asking Alexandria that a room full of angsty scenesters and sweaty metal heads might not be the best audience for a Justin Bieber joke. The Outbreak Tour’s headlining set at the Ogden Theatre on Tuesday night was full of awkward interactions with the crowd.

Alice Cooper may hold one of the longest running tenures on the hard-rock-glam-metal scene, but he’s no slouch after all the success — quite the opposite actually.
