Because Every So Often You’ve Got to Recreate Yourself

by | Oct 17, 2013

It’s crazy to think that we’ve been doing this since 2007. Who would’ve guessed that we’d make it this far?

It’s been awesome getting to know many of you over the years. One thing’s for sure, RRS readers are ahead of the learning curve and you’re always the first ones to know about new and exciting music. As the world keeps changing and new bands continue to emerge, it became clear to us that we needed a website that was also ahead of the game. We hope this one lives up to your expectations.

Our new site has been live a couple days now, but we’re still clearing out some bugs. Hang tight as we settle into our new home and get the furniture in order.

Welcome to the new Ryan’s Rock Show. And if you haven’t been to one of our house shows yet, consider this an open invitation the next time you’re in North Hollywood.
