Review: Siren Suit - Weight
It’s genuinely shocking how much chaos just under 22 minutes can contain. In their new album, Weight, difficult to categorize rock trio Siren Suit traverse a lot of musical terrain in what’s basically the runtime of a cable sitcom.

Review: Hatebreed - 20 Years of The Rise of Brutality
Within the realm of heavy music - particularly hardcore - this was actually a fairly diverse set of bands. While breakdowns were the common denominator, each band had it’s own take on “heavy,” and their own way of translating what hardcore means as a sound.Jared Bowers

Review: Sparta - 20 Years of Wiretap Scars
Sparta invited Venezuelan post-rock and experimental punk outfit Zeta and Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly to join them. I’m thankful that they made one of their last stops in Covington last night, at what is quickly becoming one of my favorite spaces in the city, Madison Live!
