Introduction to Hit the Deck!

Hello!
My name is Brendan, I am a music enthusiast from Madison, Wisconsin. Music has had a special place in my heart since a young age. My father showed me my favorite band of all time, The Beatles when I was 3. I remember dancing with him to "Imagine", by John Lennon, and this image has never left my mind, and it reminds me, of who I am today. Enough about me, though, more about why you might be here. My goal is to present local music and present my opinions on future albums, bands, and drama. I will cover rock, hard rock, metal, metalcore, whatever strikes my interest, nd the interests of everyone else.

Welcome to the family!

Brendan C.

Muse Live at the United Center January 13th, 2016

As I sip on my coffee, reviewing the amazing night I had last night, I can finally say I can die happy. Muse is the greatest live band I have ever seen live. The lights, the props, the drone flying around, the video projections. All these things contributed to the night I had last night. From the setlists I have seen from shows in the past month, it stayed the same mostly, except for a couple of gems I thought were amazing to hear live (I will post a whole set list of the concert down below). There were some songs, I thought, for sure they wouldn't pull out in concert due to them being long, or just not as popular as say Stockholm Syndrome, or Plug in Baby, both of which they did not play. The surprises on this setlist were Map of the Problematique, Resistance, Undisclosed Desires, and The Globalist. Map of the Problematique, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated Muse songs out there. For them to pull this gem off of Black Holes and Revelations was a treat to hear. Once th...

A Tribute to David Bowie

Image
I recently started listening to David Bowie again, sadly after it was too late. His last release, "Lazarus," showed the pain he was in towards the end of his life. After having cancer, and 6 heart as reported, he was still writing arguably, his best music month's before he passed away. It seems that Bowie knew he might pass away soon when writing this song. He says in "Lazarus," "Look up here, I'm in heaven, I've got scars, that can't be seen." He is battling cancer, and he is showing his pain in the way he knew how to, by writing music for his fans. I don't think "Lazarus" and "Blackstar" are for the money, but for the fans to show how he felt through the last months of his life. The turmoil Bowie induced from cancer, as he slowly fades away into the closet, just like his coffin. Bowie will forever be remembered for bringing the "glam" back into "glam rock," but he will also be remembered for...

New Volbeat Single: The Devil's Bleeding Crown

Image
Welcome back! I know I took awhile but school and other things came up and I'm looking to come back strong and bring some more news and reviews. First off, the Danish Rockband, some of the hardest working guys I've ever seen live, Volbeat. Their highly anticipated sixth album, Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie , will be in stores June 3rd. Let's just say I am lucky enough to see Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, and the gods called METALLICA in August at the new Vikings stadium. It's a shame they have to play in a stadium that looks like a Sandcrawler from Star Wars, but it's going to be worth it. Finally, let's move on to what I think of the song. It's a very catchy intro, and hell, it has me jumping up and down in my seat as I listen to it. In typical Volbeat fashion, I can't understand a damn thing they're saying in the song, and thankfully they released a music video for it with the lyrics. Personally, I don't think it's their bread and but...
