| | MixTrips | | What It Is
Introducing a new blog written by Mix magazine editor Tom Kenny: "I've been at Mix since 1988, and I've seen a lot in this world of professional audio. I've met some of the most intelligent, interesting, creative and technical people, and I've walked into many of the most amazing production facilities and recording studios on the planet. I had no idea when I graduated with a master's in journalism that I would spend more than half my life writing about workstations and post-production sound, NFL Films and Sony Playstation Studios, Martina McBride on tour and the great Al Schmitt in the studio. I almost took a job with Sunset magazine, then with a PR firm specializing in politics I didn't necessarily agree with. I'm sure glad I went with Mix." |

Halestorm—Lzzy Hale (vocals and guitar), Arejay Hale (drums), Josh Storm (bass and vocals) and Joe Storm (guitar and vocals)—has been dishing out aggressive, highly energized rock since 1998. On March 28 of this year, the band's single "Apocalyptic," from their third album release, Into The Wild Life (Atlantic Records), earned the Number One spot on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart. In April, Rolling Stone magazine noted that Halestorm was the first female-fronted band to achieve this ranking since 1990, and declared lead vocalist Lzzy Hale to be one of "hard rock's most recognizable and dynamic female voices." |
