Tri-State Rock - Latest Updates

Devoted fans deserve to be rewarded. Here’s your chance.

Its no secret that the hard rock powerhouse GODSMACK has some of the most devoted, die-hard fans on the scene today. These self-professed “Smackers” eat, sleep and breathe the Boston quartet’s brand of bone-crushing hard rock and in turn provide the band with the ability to continue entertaining.

As integral as the musicians are to the entire experience – it wouldn’t be possible without the fans. At GODSMACK vocalist Sully Erna’s recent intimate acoustic performance at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, (pro-shot photos of which can be seen here) he took time in between songs to speak directly to the fans and to extend his deepest gratitude for allowing him to continue to bring music to the masses.

Ever since Boston hard-rock quintet Godsmack announced that they’d be putting out a live album bundled with a covers EP, the internet has been abuzz with people speculating just which songs the band would choose to give the cover treatment.

Following the massive success of 2010's "The Oracle", most fans suspected that Godsmack would follow their usual formula of taking a miniature hiatus while members focused on some of their other creative interests. Frontman Sully Erna has received critical acclaim and wild success on his "Avalon" side-project and the other band members have written and toured with their side-band Another Animal, which features former Godsmack guitarist Lee Richards and Ugly Kid Joe singer Whit Crane. There's even been news of an Ugly Kid Joe reunion, which would have drummer Shannon Larkin pre-occupied, too. 

However, it seems that the band have all become masters of multi-tasking, because all of these projects seem to be going forward without preventing the massive Godsmack machine from missing a beat.
