Ted Leo & The Pharmacists – The Brutalist Bricks
Whether your agenda is on the pulpit or the dance floor (or both), The Brutalist Bricks will get you moving.
CoS Live Act of the Decade: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Album Review: KISS – Sonic Boom
“The hottest band in the land” from the ’70s is back with their finest batch of barbed tunes since 1977’s Love Gun.
Cinema Sounds: Boogie Nights

Although not as grandiose as Sgt.

And with the newly remastered version, its true audio heaven, allowing us to experience one of the band’s most euphoric, instrumentally rich albums in all of its cloud gazing glory.

The most successful live shows from calmer musicians occur when they’re smart enough to mix up or beef up the arrangements, adding that extra kick needed to bring down the house with an acoustic jam. Tuesday night’s Pete Yorn show at Park West featured two singer-songwriters who represented both ends of this spectrum.
