The new year brings a lot of things, most noticeably is the flood of people at the gym who will only last a month.

But let me offer you something that will help start the year out right. Check out these deals on KROQ music. Over 1,000 albums that are only $5 from Amazon.

It’s too bad I don’t get a kickback from Amazon. I’d be rich.

Get Rocktober started off right by saving money on great albums by some of the biggest bands around. Save money? Yeah, I know its wishful thinking because you probably have like $7 in your pocket after waking up in a random garage with a pizza box as a pillow. But hey, these are some great deals so don’t miss out.

Amazon is trying to put a hurting on iTunes so the’ve worked out some pretty amazing deals with many of our favorite bands.

Ever wonder what the guys from Three Days Grace are up to during all that touring?

Well, the band announced on their twitter that you’ll be able to follow along behind the scenes during their tour. Starting now, the guys are going to keep you updated through video blogs that they plan on doing weekly. The video blogs will be about all kinds of things that go on during their tour. And better yet, the band is taking requests for anything you might want to hear about. So if you want to hear them play your favorite song or ask them a tour question, send them a request!

Check out the first episode for their video blog series here.

I love hearing the stories behind songs and videos and band names… Fuse has this show called The Chronicles, where you can get the story behind the video as they trace an artist’s career via their videos. Tonight, the focus is on Avenged Sevenfold.

In the next few months, Fuse will chronicle: Slipknot, Papa Roach, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Three Days Grace, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park… For a complete listing, click me.
