No Really. Are You Sure?

I’m the type of person who follows that old MC Ren philosophy. If it ain’t rough it ain’t me. So in late 2006 when I heard that some new hip-hop group was burning up MTV rock countdowns I decided to give them a listen. I turned on the video, got..

Rage Against The Machine.. IS BACK (at least for one night.)

 Rage Against The Machine is one of my favorite bands of all time. I was ecstatic when I heard they are getting back together to headline coachella. Now I’m curious who approached who or if the coachella organizers made this happen. Because that could give us a hint to see..

Land Of Rawk

Haunting, inviting, indifferent, and unafraid, Elizabeth Powell and the Land Of Talk invade your headphones with their debut EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss and leave you with melodies you won’t be able to shake off for days. The album is hardly a debut effort – Lizzie is no stranger to..

I Came For The Mascara, I Stayed For The Love

Gerard Way knows what the hell he’s doing. Leave your prejudices at the doorstep and make your way through the crowds to be awe in of The Black Parade, the latest album conjured up by the punk rock quintet from New Jersey known as My Chemical Romance. This dark and..

H-Shake

Saosin, the band whose name everyone thinks they know how to pronounce, has finally settled down to record a full-length LP whose anticipation rivals that for Brand New’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. Three years in the making, most of which was spent on the road rather..

For all the hardcore…

While some may beg to differ, I personally believe Rock and Roll is a dying beast, but it feels good to look back on a time when that shit was still good. New movie coming out. Shows the early side of punk rock that grew into all that rebellious teen..

Rumor Has It Punk Is Back

Rumor Has It is the reason why anyone ever fell in love with punk rock in high school, saved up for that electric guitar and pitiful second-hand amp. They were the band that played for beer at Jason’s house when his parents went to the Cape for the long weekend...

There’s No “I” In Screamo, But There’s One In “Kiss My Ass”

The now-defunct punk post-hardcore band known as All My Heroes shined briefly on their first and last album Magnolia Street, nearly two years ago on the fledgling Florida-based label Secondhand Records. Originally recording a four-song demo under the name Citizen Kane, AMH transitioned from demo to album and successfully refined..
