Here at 99X, we try to play as much of the good new stuff as we can, but with all the new music that drops every week, there’s just not enough time to get it all on the air. But, we still want to give you a chance to check out some great new rock that may, or may not eventually find a place on 99X...
There are already quite a few rock festivals scheduled for the spring and early summer, but the Operation Rock Festival is the one that stands out for its commitment to the military men and women who serve our country. The event, which features headliners Pop Evil and Nonpoint, will take place June 21 in Fredericksburg, Va.
Nonpoint rocked Shreveport's faces off Friday night at the Riverside Warehouse. Of course, the show wouldn't have been complete without their killer cover version of Phil Collins' classic 'In the Air Tonight.'
Check out the video we caught of the band rocking the song live.
Nonpoint is no stranger to rocking the Riverside Warehouse, and their performance on Friday (August 30) proved it. The band's energy amplified throughout the crowd and got the whole warehouse jumping with their hands in the air.
David Draiman of Device posted this message to fans regarding the the next few dates on their current tour,
MY APOLOGIES TO THE FANS IN FT MEYERS AND TO 99X FOR THE MANY ISSUES WE HAD TODAY DURING OUR SET. IT IS WITH DEEP REGRET THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO POSTPONE SOME OF THE ORIGINALLY PLANNED SHOWS FOR THE NEXT WEEK, DUE TO A VOCAL INJURY WHICH HAS GOTTEN WORSE FROM REOCCURRING TECHNICAL/MONITOR PROBL
The road can be grueling, and Nonpoint's Elias Soriano is a little worse for wear at this point. The band called off a recent performance in Savannah, Ga. and have a few more days off before playing again, which may give the singer enough time to recover from a back injury.
