Clear Channel's July round of NEW! is now up and running.
Tons of Roadrunner band highlights:
Firstly...your favorite Australian hard rock band, Airbourne, has been selected as the Featured Artist for this month!
Next up we've got some Black Stone Cherry action on the "Artists To Watch" section at # 1 as well as Theory of a Deadman & The Parlor Mob who've held on to their spots in the feature's lineup as well.
Also, featured in the top 20 playlist are Theory of a Deadman at # 3, Airbourne at # 7 & The Parlor Mob at #9.
Our favorite Kentucky boys, Black Stone Cherry, sure had lots of fun on their European tour this year! The band supported Def Leppard and Whitesnake on all dates of the latter's extensive Great Britain and Northern Ireland tour while also stopping in Donington Park, England on June 15th to rock out on the main stage at the Download Festival. June 26th was their last day of touring and the band succeeded in their lifelong dream of playing Wembley Arena in Wembley, London.
Up now for your viewing pleasure are 3 really cool videos that were uploaded to the Black Stone Cherry YouTube channel. One was the crowd going wild and shouting out the bands name at Download, the other two are from the Def Leppard/Whitesnake tour.
Alright, maggots, if your brain hasn't already combusted from the plethora of Slipknot happenings this week, prepare yourself for this.

The vampire freaks have good things to say about the latest phenomenon that is Watershed: "Opeth have been carving their way through the world of music with their brand of guitar driven madness. Having been born from Stockholm's recognized world of metal, they seemed poised to show the world how ready they were to take over. They broke away from Death Metal's signature blast beats and speed riffing, lairing their music with melodies of acoustic guitars and harmonies."
