Album Review: Billy Talent – Billy Talent III
Billy Talent III is virtually the band’s answer to Sing The Sorrow, only less successful.
Girls celebrate debut with Album
Girls can apply many things, including the name of an up-and-coming collective out of San Francisco. If you haven’t heard of these Girls yet, you probably will soon, what with their incredibly thought provokingly titled debut, Album, due out on September 22nd via True Panther Sounds in partnership with Matador Records, and a summer of [...]
Guilty Pleasure: My Chemical Romance – I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
The year was 2004, the political climate was confusing at best, and I was just then learning how thoroughly a man could break my heart. I was also halfway through earning a degree in sticking it to the man, also known as “a liberal arts education”, or “majoring in pre-barista”. It was around this time when I first heard the song “Headfirst for Halos”, dropped surreptitiously in the middle of a lovelorn mix CD. My under-aged self was stunned; somewhere there was another person as angry as I was!
Rock History 101: John Zorn’s Kristallnacht
This lesson dates way back to 1938, to one of the most horrific anti-Jewish riots during the Nazi occupation.
Album Review: Better Than Ezra – Plays Paper Empire
The two main ways to connect a person with emotion: you can tell them what to feel or actually make them feel. In the ’90s, Better Than Ezra won fans by drawing them into stories, shrouding their sentiments with narrative, and letting safe alt-pop rock take their feelings where they needed to go. A simple [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: Beck – Sea Change
Writer Joe Marvilli dusts off one of 2002′s greatest records, and one of Beck’s pinnacle achievements. Full of bitter remorse, ambient depression, and acoustic melodies, nearly anyone can relate to this landmark record.
mp3 Remix: Friday Mixtape LXII
For our American readers, a happy Fourth of July to you! For everyone else, a happy weekend to you! And like the awesomely awesome online music publication that we are, we got a treat for all of you. Ok, so it’s not on the Foo Fighters playing for Barack level and yes, it’s no different [...]
Listen: April Smith and The Great Picture Show
April Smith, with her band, The Great Picture Show, is just inches away from hitting the mainstream beat. Some might say centimeters. She’s that close. Already her music’s found its way onto feature-length films, such as the Rob Schneider-led Wild Cherry, in addition to popular television shows like MTV’s The Hills and Newport Harbor. On [...]
Clutch answers fans with more tour dates
This week, Clutch, that stoner-rock band that refuses to sell out, will embark on yet another U.S. tour. Of course, given their yearly average of 100 shows, it’s more newsworthy when they aren’t on tour than when they are. And as we recently learned, we won’t have to worry about that anytime soon. In support [...]
Lightning Dust shines Infinite Light everywhere
When not hanging with The Cave Singers — though, as you’ll see, that’s a rare occurrence — and getting down and dirty with their main outfit, Black Mountain, Amber Webber and Joshua Wells keep busy with quite the elaborate side project. I speak of Lightning Dust of course. And in case you haven’t noticed, Webber [...]
