NOFX readies a <i>Coaster</i>

NOFX readies a Coaster

By on March 2nd, 2009

Some would argue NOFX has been coasting for quite a while now, perhaps as long as the 15 years that the legendary punk outfit has been around. So it would only be fitting if the band chose to title its upcoming twelfth studio album after what the dictionary defines as to “act or move aimlessly [...]

Passion Pit to teach some Manners

By on March 2nd, 2009

It’s pretty incredible to imagine that even amongst all the band’s recent on goings (see: the release of Chunk of Change, the subsequent U.S. tour, and preparation for an upcoming appearance at South by Southwest), Passion Pit still managed to carve out two months for studio time with producer Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav, The [...]

I don’t know about you, but when I was growing up, it seems I heard “they sure don’t make em’ like they used to” or “back in my day…” when referring to everything from cars to TVs — not to mention the comments from burned out hippies and old fogeys about how “music just isn’t [...]

I have to admit I’m not much for celebrating anniversaries. You may practice increasingly nostalgic acts of commemoration every tenth year and I’ll be humble enough to join without complaints (Air’s Moon Safari last year, anyone?).
