Shinedown Releases New Video



Rock Gods Shinedown just released a new music video for their brand new song entitled "Enemies." The track is from their smash album "Amaryllis," which has sold over 190,000 copies worldwide and has reached number 4 on the Billboard Charts.

Check out the video below.



As you may know Shinedown’s history with 98 Rock runs pretty deep. Here is a video of them performing their hit single "Second Chance" for the Ravens Countdown to Kickoff Party in September 2009.


By the way, we are getting details together for this year’s countdown to kick off party. Stay tuned to 98 Rock for more details and the full line up.

Orion Music & More Festival

Music Festivals are invading the country. From large ones such as Bonaroo in Manchester Tennessee, to smaller local festivals such as Silopanna in Annapolis, people across the country are flocking to these festivals to see some of their favorite bands preform.

One of the many festivals popping up across the country is Orion Music & More, in Atlantic City. This was the Inaugural year for the festival, which ran June 23rd and 24th. Metallica coordinated the festival and headlined the festival, giving two stellar performances both nights. Metallica wasn't the only band to tear down the house. The Gaslight Anthem, Baroness, and Avenged Sevenfold all gave kick ass performances, and that's just a few of the many bands who performed.

Orion was very unique though because it wasn't just a music festival, it also had a "more" component. (Hence it being called Orion Music & More). Throughout the weekend, there was a custom car show, a surfing contest provided by Billabong, and several film screenings, among others adding to the fun of the weekend.


98 rock was at the festival with the hook up. We got exclusive access to performances and interviews with some of your favorite bands. Click below to listen to Stash and Steve Huber talk with The Gaslight Anthem.

Overall, Orion was a huge success. We'd like to thank Metallica for organizing the festival and we look forward to bringing you the best of Orion next year.

Slash Gets Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Slash has been killing it lately. We've really been feeling his new song, "You're a Lie", which, is racing up the charts. He also was just given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.



Slash gave a short speech and said it was a "huge honor" to win the award. Watch the Video HERE. He was stoked because Hollywood is where he grew up, where he went to school, and where he rehearsed with Guns 'n' Roses. He has a big connection to the city. Charlie Sheen was also on hand to give his congratulations to Slash.

Slash has had a hectic schedule but even managed to stop by 98 Rock last month to chat with Mickey, Amelia and Spiegel on the morning show. Watch parts of the interview:
