Rock enthusiasts rejoice, it is almost time for Rock On The Range. Festival regulars Korn and grunge kings Soundgarden top the line-up this year as well as a little band you might have heard of called Metallica. This may be the festival’s biggest booking to date.  The festival line-up...

FIDLAR and SWMRS sparked fire at the Madison Theater. If I feel anything after watching these two bands play is that we are in for a hell of punk rock wave in the coming years. I’m all for it.  A moderately sized crowd inhabited the theatre. Which is understandable. It was a Wednesday...

Some bands just thrive in the club shows. These are the types of bands that bring out the thirstiest music fans.  The opener Deap Valley did not fail to impress. Lindsey Troy’s howling vocals and that all too familiar and comfortable sound of heavy distorted guitars. The style and...

Two celebrated alternative rock veterans, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Death From Above 1979, are coming to melt faces at Bogart’s tonight. If Rock n’ Roll isn’t dead already, then these two bands are providing the necessary life support.  It has been over three years...

Korn and Rob Zombie. I already hear the collected sighs of disgust from the more progressive metal heads. I’m sure they’ll be happy to know, that despite the age of these 90s nu-metal juggernauts, they are very much alive and well.  Korn took the stage first and delivered what...

Fashionably late doesn’t begin to describe my entrance to PromoWest Fest Friday. As I walk in, just as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds start to play, I think to myself, “This is why it’s not always good to work a late night restaurant job and don’t start my day...

PromoWest Fest will take place July 15-17 for the first time in Columbus, Ohio. The lineup features headliners The Flaming Lips, Snoop Dogg, Modest Mouse and Brand New.  The festival also boasts a lineup of current and veteran alternative and hip-hop acts. This...

My Morning Jacket reissued one of their most beloved and quintessential albums, 2003's It Still Moves, on May 27 via ATO Records. In addition to the original album completely remixed by frontman Jim James and remastered by Bob Ludwig, the reissue includes 10 of James' original demos along with 3...

Shaky Knees takes place at the Centennial Olympic Park and International Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend! Check out our preview of the festival here. If you are down for the road trip we have picked out five artists you must see! Weekend and single day passes are still...

Shaky Knees may be one of the the best festivals if you like all walks of life in the alternative genre.  A diverse lineup of bands top the bill. Jane’s Addiction, My Morning Jacket, Florence + The Machine, The 1975, and At The Drive-in will all perform headlining sets this year. The...

Iggy Pop and Josh Homme’s (of Queens of The Stone Age) Post Pop Depression became a surprise album nobody knew they wanted. After listening, I’m still not sure if I do, but this isn’t a bad thing.  While this collaboration is welcomed for sure, it is an awkward reminder that...

In the last few weeks, festival line ups have been pouring out. All of which are showcasing celebrated acts and big reunions. Meanwhile, spring and summer tours are being announced left and right.  Of course, we all know that the LCD Soundsystem and Gun N’ Roses reunions are huge and are...
