Okay, so I grew up on a steady diet of punk rock, one band in particular being The Misfits. If you’re not aware of them, then you’ve probably been living in a cave or have never met a studded-belt-wearing punk rock kid in your life.
The band is known for their fast & raw punk rock […]
So everyone knows about Days of the New, right?
Oh, forget all of a sudden?
They ruled the airwaves back in ‘97 with singles like “Touch, Peel, and Stand“, “Shelf In the Room“, and the cooler single “The Downtown“.
Sing along with me.
Bring me down, bring me dow-wown–yeah–ah, bring me dow-wown;
What probably NObody knows is that this band […]
Well, I’m heading off to Italy in a few hours, so I’m afraid that I won’t be around to entertain everyone out there.
However, I’ll be leaving you in excellent hands for the next two weeks. My friend Eric, who I’ve known for years and who also runs Evolvor Music Marketing, will be looking over this […]
The Sasquatch! Music Festival will return with a stellar line-up.
R.E.M., The Cure, The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, The Breeders, Flight of the Conchords, Cold War Kids, M.I.A., and Crudo (which is a new Mike Patton/Dan the Automator project) will be on the bill.
The festival will take place on Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26 at the […]
Let’s do an FYI on the Australian trio, since last year was a pretty good year for them, and their last two albums, Diorama and Young Modern, are great.
Singer/guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies have been playing music together since primary school; bassist Chris Joannou joined the band in the high school.
The band’s original […]
The rumours were true, as it was announced that Radiohead will be headlining the inaugural All Points West Festival at Liberty State Park, NJ.
Radiohead will not just be doing one night, but two nights at the festival, which is being sponsored by the folks behind Coachella. Joining Radiohead will be fellow headliner Jack Johnson, as well […]
This is a post that I’ve been toying with for some time now, but have finally decided that it was time to share some of my favorite cover tunes from 90’s alternative bands.
Actually, this can be a real touchy subject if your a fan of the original artist or song, but I think my choices […]
This is a great opening track from 1994’s blockbuster of an album Superunknown.
Gritty lyrics, sick guitar solos and Matt Cameron holding it down with his drumming skills, “Let Me Drown” is your classic Soundgarden tune, and one of my favorites byt them.
Recently, Cornell has been using it as the opening number during his concerts, while […]
Foos bassist Nate Mendel informed Billboard that the band is working on some new material during their current tour.
Mendel stated that the band are using time during their sound-checks to mess around with the new tunes, which could be lead to the follow up to last year’s Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace…which I still say is their […]
Back in 1996 a seemingly sweet girl popped up into the music world. However, she quickly established that she was anything but sweet.
I would have to say that Fiona Apple’s debut album Tidal was an unexpected way in giving women a new voice. It was anything but the classic “I am woman, hear my roar”, […]
