Our Sponsors are Artists Too

Anyone who crossed our path from NYC to SXSW knew Cocaine Energy was kind enough to sponsor RethinkPopMusic and The Vanguard.

As we consumed case after case and begrudgingly gave some away, someone kept a secret from us.

Our dear friend Raymond Herrera is a MANIAC of a drummer. After going gold with Fear Factory Raymond has formed Arkaea with fellow Fear Factory member Christian Olde Wolbers and Threat Signal’s Jon Howard and Pat Kavanagh. While RethinkPopMusic would never describe our artists as “Volitile, Violent or Vicious” Arkaea has mastered what true Metal should be. Lightning fast drums, machine gun bass, precise breakdowns and a full range of vocals Arkaea draws a line in the sand and dares anyone to cross it.

Remember to RethinkPopMusic, not as a genre or a sound, but the ability to appeal to a massive audience. Congrats Arkaea you won me over.

Hey LoneStar Beer… why dont you sponsor us? I mean, we did drink your beer incessantly while in Austin and we would be quite willing to do the same across the states. Just a thought. I’ll have my people call your people.

RethinkPopMusic wants to thank Cocaine

RethinkPopMusic admits that this 4,000+ mile journey would never have been possible without the heavy use of Cocaine. Ask anyone in NYC, Columbus, Nashville, Austin and every city between… rarely was the RPM crew without Cocaine in-hand. While most of us shared our Cocaine with total strangers, there were a few of us, ANDREW/TEDDY, who would only give it away if it were removed from their cold,dead hands. Regardless, many hours were spent WIDE awake thanks to the spicy,red juice.

A huge thanks to Raymond Herrera for the shirts (take a close look at the promo shot of Will), match books, cups, posters and of course, product!
