When we first saw the package with their music, we first thought, another Niagara band called after an adult entertainer. Unlike Alexisonfire, AMBER REIGNS, do not take their name from the blonde porn star. The Fort Erie band played a blazing set at Rocksearch 2016 and were crowned this year’s runner’s up! The four guys in Amber Reigns bring in countless influences, ranging from The Beatles to Alice In Chains to Lamb of God to Coheed & Cambria defying any convenient  label. Its just great rock music - born of passion, soul and grit. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on a new album to be out soon.

9:30am is very early for a rock band, let alone a band from Vancouver, camping out in Toronto to do a round of promotions for their new album Positive Thinking.  Performing in the cellar of the basement of The Whitehouse of Rock at that time also presents its own challenges but once Becky Black plugged in and knocked out “Skin This” and a cover song by The Thermals, it was suddenly Saturday night. After we sat down and talked about the new album (their 6th), which drummer Maya Miller suggests is a new beginning. We get into their roots, their freaky videos and upcoming touring plans.

Lead guitarist John-Angus MacDonald called in to talk up their free show coming up on Friday at the Supercrawl in Hamilton on a stage on James Street. John reveals that HE picks the song and tells us what goes into it. We also chat about the new Best-Of compilation coming out Friday: TIME CAPSULE and the four new songs that are added. If fans order the album in advance they automatically get a bonus album of out-takes and cover versions that won't be available in the near future.

Yesterday I was having a few beers at Kullys Original Sports Bar downtown St. Catharines and I heard this guy Dan Serre of Niagara Falls singing on Open Mic Night. He was playing a whole bunch of rock covers...and was pretty damn good so I invited him on the show to play this afternoon. He did a cover of Alexisonfire - Young Cardinals. Check it out.

Today a dude in a Pest Control van cut me off, so I wrote the number down to the company and prank called them. After doing this, I don't think sales people even listen to you...they just want the sale haha. Have a listen.
