Christie Connor-Vernal (CCV)

In my own opinion CCV has probably one of the greatest performers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing perform live. Still a relatively fresh face in the industry Christie Connor-Vernal is the kind of talent I’d like to see go far and play to a sold out crowd at the Royal Albert Hall. Recently Christie (CCV) was kind enough to take a little bit of time to chat with us at RockFusion to tell us a bit about who she is, what she’s about and of course what we can expect from CCV in the next few months.

Whippz Crow (The Burning Crows)

The Burning Crows are by far one of my favourite up and coming bands at the moment. After seeing them tear it up with Glasgow earlier in the year with Estrella and Komatoze the Norwich lads got a great slot at this year’s Hard Rock Hell festival and blew both myself and about a good chunk of the festival goers completely away with their 45min set of rock & roll perfection. After their set and a few pints front man Whippz was kind enough to take some time out and talk to us here at RockFusion about the current tour Read more »

Hayley Leggs (Nympherno)

Anyone who has been to a metal festival over the past couple of years is almost guaranteed to have seen the girls from Nympherno there at some stage. Granted you may only know them as the hot, leather and latex laden girls who, among other things have quite the passion for fire. This year at Hard Rock Hell the Nympherno girls where out in force once again and taking to the stage with many bands over the course of the weekend. From the likes of Attica Rage, Jettblack, Bonafide and Fozzy these girls brought the heat and wowed audiences all Read more »

Download Survival

With this year’s Download Festival fast approaching, our very own festival veteran Thomas McLean takes you through the best ways to make sure you enjoy this year’s festival and make it out alive on the Monday morning. Bring your own food: You might not completely agree with this, but at a festival like Download where you aren’t going to find a cheeseburger for less than a fiver, bringing and cooking your own food is a the simplest way to make sure you have enough of your hard earned pennies for more beer and merch. Bring money: If the afore mentioned Read more »

Dante Gizzi (Gun)

Gun are easily one of my favourite bands. Finally after 15 years of waiting there’s a new album out and it really couldn’t have been better. Earlier this week RockFusion chatted with bass player turned front man Dante Gizzi. We talked on various subjects like Gun’s return, the new album, their appearance at Download 2012 and of course what we can expect from the band in the near future. After 15 years the new album, Breaking The Silence, is finally out and it’s been released to high critical acclaim and Gun fans both old and new love it. Where you Read more »
