Summer is one of our favorite times of the year since all the bands are on the road and in full force. This month we switched things up and literally brought all genres. On the cover we have Country boys The Lacs with their Country, Hip Hop, Rock infused music that is topping the Billboard charts. We also went out to sea literally with Paul McKenzie of The Real McKenzies, and caught up with Dustin Kensrue and his new solo album. Plus we were out on the live seen from East to west with Psycho California, Maryland Deathfest, a few charities catching Warrant, Girlschool, QUEENSRŸCHE and more. This along with album reviews, news, photos and much more. READ HERE

Crashing Psycho California 2015 Festival
The name of the festival says it all and Vandala thought it would be fun to send one of our bravest journalists to see what the festival was all about. Being the social guy he pushed the limits to bring home a bunch of interviews!
