Check Out: Billy Talent’s “Rusted from the Rain” & “Turn Your Back”
It has long been said that music from Canada breeds a “love ‘em or hate ‘em” philosophy amongst listeners in the States. While we could sit here and bash the softening of Alanis Morrisette or the onslaught of Nickelback anthems, we’ll keep our focus on Billy Talent, instead. After all, the boys return this summer [...]
Madness finally ready to show the U.S. some love
It’s been 10 years since U.K. ska legends Madness released its last album of original material, 1999′s Wonderful. It’s been three years since the band began work on its followup. On May 18th, our friends overseas stopped counting, and apparently liked the result so much so that the 15-track effort, entitled The Liberty of Norton [...]

Album Review: The Paper Chase – Someday This Could All Be Yours, Vol. 1
Bill Murray utters the immortal line in What about Bob?, “There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don’t. My ex-wife loves him.” So true, Bob. So true. The same could be said of The Paper Chase. There isn’t much middle ground in the matter. Party [...]
