We took that day off and just enjoyed the snow a little bit and hung out together. We went through hell to get there and when we got there, the promoters cancelled the show. I remember we were driving through Louisville and there was a huge snowstorm. It was “SnoCore” tour so there were some shows where it was snowing and like negative 30 degrees outside and I think that some of the most memorable moments for us were doing whatever it took to get to the shows. There was a lot of band interaction with all the dudes on the tour. I think that the bands showed a lot of comradery. Metal Exiles: What were some of the better moments of the tour for you? The tour itself was very much a good time and everyone had that mutual respect for each other. We all understood what each band brought to the table and we all understood what each band has accomplished and how much hard work each band has put into getting where they are. Everybody treated each other with respect. We love Flyleaf and we like the guys in Framing Hanley and we just thought it was a really good package. Metal Exiles: Looking back on SnoCore, what made you guys want to do the tour this year? Interview with Rick DeJesus of Adelitas Way I think we are in for a hellacious ride now that they have left labels behind and taken control of the reigns themselves. Part of that plan includes exposing people worldwide to their musical strength something that should’ve been done long ago. Today, Adelitass Way is more focused and determined to prove their worth than ever. This band has so much heart even through the minor setbacks that they’ve encountered in the past. After speaking with Rick about the band’s struggles, the balancing act of trying to be a family man and entertainer, and the validity of their music in the industry as a whole, all of the reasons that fans love them were fortified. On this beautiful and very important Saturday afternoon, the day of his daughter’s birthday party, Rick still set aside time to talk to me allowing me to dig deeper into what makes Adelita’s Way tick. As a fan of Adelitas Way, myself, I was eager to interview Rick DeJesus. It includes their current hit single ‘I Get Around”, and believe me, it is certainly getting its share of “deserved” air time.
They have just released a 5-song EP titled “Deserve This”, which is the prelude to their upcoming fourth album. The band is continuing to push forward without the boundaries of a label. These songs are very worthy of topping the charts in my opinion. It is true that typically, only a couple of songs from an album make it to the single category, but songs like “Undivided”, “Drive” and ‘Something More” needed a chance to prove their strength. There were so many great songs on this CD that were never released as singles. The songs were well received but for such a wonderfully written and performed album, I was shocked that more did not come from it. The album produced two hits that aired on stations like Sirius/XM Octane. Knowing what the band had musically produced with their past two albums, people were exceedingly eager to own this new release. By the time their third album “Stuck” dropped publicly, their single “Dog on a Leash” had already been playing for a couple of months and was already a Top 10 hit on rock charts. The band was becoming more known to us all. All of these songs landed on the Billboard Charts. The release of their second album “Home School Valedictorian” pushed out more great songs, including the extremely popular “Sick” and “Criticize”, along with “The Collapse”. With that song already topping charts, the release of their S/T first album in 2009 was a defining moment for the band. Adelitas Way formed in 2006 in their hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada, though their breakout single “Invincible” did not come for three more years.
