Whiskeydick Debuts Brand New Video The Song, Restless Heartbroke and Stoned



Buy this great album from Whiskeydick


At the lonesome crossroads where country and metal intersect, stand two swaggering badasses holding acoustic guitars. They're not interested in your soul they have plenty of soul already. Cult favorites WhiskeyDick blow minds with a double barrel blast of dreadnaught shredding and hillbilly bellowing that makes you want to knock back a shot, stand up tall, and holler "Oh-hell-yeehaw!"

The Most Insane Baja Race That You Have Never Heard Of



You've heard of the Baja 1000, but there's an even crazier race called the Mexico 1000 that's as much a giant part as it is a race. Lifted trucks, buggies, and old American muscle cars race down the peninsula.

Reading a plethora of articles around the ever changing and evolving landscape of the music industry, is a constant reminder to us that in this industry, it's all about adapt or die.

The Craft Of Sound, A Short Film About A Luthier Named Alex Bishop And His Attention To Detail




Learn more about Alex Bishop and his luthier work

"My passion as a guitar maker comes from a life-long obsession with making things. From a young age I have always tried to manipulate objects and materials in order to create something entirely different. I find that working with wood  is a way for me to connect with nature. The simple act of shaping wood to make something functional or beautiful brings me endless satisfaction.

Having left a degree in Aerospace Engineering in Bath, I moved to London in 2007 to pursue the possibility of becoming a guitar maker. I studied for a BSc degreee in 'Musical Instruments' at London Metropolitan University, and I graduated in 2010 with a First Class Honours degree, the 'Top Thirty Student' award, and the 'University Recognition Award For Academic Excellence' award. Working for three years under the expert guidance of Nicholas Blishen, Norman Myall, Martin Bowers and Godefroy Maruejouls, I developed a flair for guitar making.
