July 7, 2012 Dirt Fest 2012 is about a month away, and if you haven’t heard, Las Vegas boys Falling in Reverse were just confirmed as one of the headliners. I had the chance to chat with singer Ronnie Radke for Loudwire last year, and he described how he turned his life around after serving time in a Nevada prison and, in essence, has music to thank for making his turnaround complete.
June 30, 2012 It’s hard to believe, but Dirt Fest 2012 is less than two months away! Detroit hard rockers Core Effect are on the bill this year, and they’re stoked. “We are pumped for our first time at Dirt Fest!” said vocalist and bass player Randy Riddle, adding that this will be the band's first time playing Dirt Fest. “Of all years to start out, this lineup that we are playing with is outstanding.”
June 30, 2012 Over 50 bands on 5 outdoor stages, I must be talking about Dirt Fest. This year's line up is sick as hell and we still have a couple more bands to announce. This is the first year that Smile Empty Soul will grace the Dirt Fest stage. Sure to fire off the band's hits like 'Bottom of a Bottle', 'Silhouettes' and the new song 'Afterlife', this is one you won't want to miss. For a complete list of bands or to get tickets, click here.
June 27, 2012 Dirt Fest 2012 goes down August 11th at the Birch Run Expo Center and one of the only national bands returning from last year is Psychostick. The day doesn't go by without a listener calling in for their song 'Because Boobs'. Make sure you don't miss em on the mainstage this year. Tickets for Dirt Fest are available here.
June 19, 2012 Dirt fest 2012 is just around the corner and one thing we can most likely expect from In This Moment is a monster circle pit. Voted the hottest chick in metal, singer Maria Brink loves to get the crowd fired up and moving. Check out the video from this year's Rock on The Range and one of the shows from Mayhem a couple years ago. I think we are in for a real treat at Dirt fest 2012. Click here for tickets.

June 4, 2012 Detroit-based rockers Wilson are one of Michigan’s most popular up-and-coming bands thanks to their pummeling, snap-tight brand of heavy tracks. I'm definitely excited about Wilson's future and recently had the chance to interview guitarist Jason Spencer about the band’s live show, their new video for 'Better Off (Strictly Doods)' and why they’re stoked to play Dirt Fest 2012 this August. Check it out below!
