Let’s Hope this Wizard Party lasts Forever!!!
Now I’m not normally a fan of multiple exclamation marks, but for the sake of The Whomping Willows’ new album, I suppose we can make an exception. Last year, The Whomping Willows put out an album departing from the traditional wizard rock album that we’re accustomed to seeing. Each song was a different part of the [...]

Around big events like Wrockstock, there are plenty of new albums coming out, and I had the chance to get a sneak peek at another one – Creevey Crisis‘ VII. Along a similar line of We Are Magic, VII deals mostly with the Deathly Hallows – specifically, Voldemort’s seven horcruxes. The album starts with a mostly [...]

In my infinite good luck, I got the chance to listen to Tonks and the Aurors‘ latest installment, We Are Magic, a few days ahead of the official release. And I’ve been totally blown away. The album concept is Tonks’ journey through Deathly Hallows. The first track, ‘So It Begins’, sets the mood as a general song [...]

A recent shipment of this year’s Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club includes an entirely a cappella EP from The Moaning Myrtles titled Bathroom Acoustics. When you are in a band that revolves around a dead character who only pops into the story every so often, it can be difficult to find material to craft [...]

There’s a new compilation CD out for your listening pleasure. All You Need is (Wizard) Love is now available! The CD includes 14 tracks of your favorite wizard rockers playing Beatles’ songs in a slightly more wizardly fashion than you may be used to. It’s not a true wizard rock comp without a cause, though. The [...]

11. February 2009
Upon learning about families and children affected by natural disasters across the world, Megan, from The Wizard Rockumentary, and Mark, from Marked As His Equal, decided they wanted to help. Megan and Mark created From Beneath These Ashes, a 2-disc Wizard Rock compilation featuring over 30 Wizard Rock bands, and spanning both “light” and [...]

While the release of The Tales of Beedle the Bard wasn’t quite as exciting as, say, Deathly Hallows, we now have even more canon material to add to the Potterverse. Two of our wizard rockers have already put that to good use, creating EPs based on the stories. Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills recorded six [...]

With Thanksgiving over and the holiday season very much upon us, there is one thing that becomes hard to avoid: Christmas music. It’s in just about every store you walk into, on the radio, and sprinkled into commercials. Personally, I love classic Christmas carols. I thought I would be doomed to year after year of [...]

Continue reading this article for a preview of the CD. It’s taken us a few weeks, but we’ve finally discovered the meaning behind the mysterious and enchanted pieces delivered to me via owl. We, staff members and site visitors, helped me in figuring out that it was an album. This morning, however, the spell encrypting the [...]

Continue reading this article for a free download from the CD! One thing that I feel is especially unique of wizard rock as a musical community is its vast amount of charitable compilations. It’s a truly great thing, and it sometimes seems as if every area of outreach has been covered. Enter Wrock Against Bullying, a CD [...]
