    Deftones at ACL Live

      Staying power is a rare commodity found in bands today, but its something that Sacramento-based alt-metal band, the Deftones, have unequivocally proven they still possess.   The band is still reeling from having replaced bassist Chi Cheng in 2009 after an auto accident, and went on hiatus while lead singer, Chino Moreno, pursued a witch-house influenced side project called, Crosses.   On tour for their seventh studio album, Koi No Yokan, the Deftones have consistently been one of the most unique [...]

    SXSW Interview: Poolside

    SXSW Artist Interview: Poolside Jeff Paradise, Filip Nikolic, Michael Gold, and Jason Pipkin are Poolside. These Californian lounge lizards create ‘Daytime Disco” that is the perfect score to an afternoon lounging by the pool. Their new album, Pacific Standard Time, was one of my favorite albums of 2012 and it was a blast getting to meet these guys during SXSW before their showcase at the Red Eyed Fly. Jeff, Michael, and Filip took some time to answer some questions about [...]

    Keane at ACL Live

      Eight years into their career – despite feuds, rehab stints, and hiatuses for various reasons – Keane has proven that they’re still on top. By performing on an ACL Live Showcase, they have certifiably reached one of music’s highest echelons of recognition. Strangeland may be a misnomer for the direction Keane has taken on their latest album. Unlike Perfect Symmetry, the band’s third album, where they experimented with different electronic-influenced sounds, Strangeland seems to regress back to the same [...]

    If you’ve spent any time in downtown Austin in the past five years, chances are, you’ve witnessed Jordan Tanner’s slew of one-man-band-ishness, guitar pyrotechnics, and memorable vocal moments. Last winter, Tanner recorded with platinum producer Rick Beato (Charlie Mars, Needtobreathe, Crowfield) to create his sophomore effort, Cold City EP. “When I was writing for the new record, a lot of times I would think about dead people [laughs]. I guess it helps me create the vibe I want.” Indeed, the [...]

    No Holiday takes no shortcuts when it comes to brewing the classic recipe of skate punk with an infusion of thrash. With influences from Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Screeching Weasel, a dash of Minor Threat, 2 tablespoons of Face to Face, a half-cup of NOFX and 2 ounces of Up Yours! WHO COULD GO WRONG? As their name says, these boys take no breaks when it comes to energy and diversity. Rex, Chris, and Tommy all hail from “The Valley”, [...]

    Album Review: The Dirty Panties – I Am A Robot (2013)

    February 14, 2013 / Album Reviews, Punk, punk rock bowling

    The Dirty Panties! Can you really argue with that? I wish I came up with that name for my band. Anyways, this all female punk rock quartet hails from sunny Las Vegas and has been playing for give or take 10 years. I’m not their biographer, but I can tell you that listening to this album, I Am A Robot, is like hitting on a chick, taking a shot of jager, then getting kicked in the balls. Fucking loved it! [...]

    Album Review: Bjork – Bastards (2012)

    December 12, 2012 / Album Reviews

    Inspired by the National Geographic to create her previous album entitled “Biophilia”, we give you Bjork. The Icelandic singer and iconic Pop-Artist whose demiurgic expertise amplifies sheer music has come out of the studio with another album to complement her last project. The album, entitled “Bastards” is not your typical post-album remix edition that most “Neolithic-Artists” used to put on the “B” sides of their single albums. The music expressed in this album is so much more than that; that [...]

    Album Review: Slightly Stoopid – Top of the World (2012)

    October 3, 2012 / Album Reviews, Featured Stories

    After a four year hiatus, Slightly Stoopid is back with their new album titled Top of the World. Through a generous 21 tracks, this album features artists like long-time band friend, G. Love, as well as Angela, Don Carlos and former Jurassic 5 member Chali 2na. Setting this album apart from the band’s other projects is a puritan and almost nostalgic approach to 1970’s Reggae. Unlike their last six albums, this was the first to be produced in their own [...]

    Zeale – Wake Hell or Make Peace EP (2012) | Album Review

    October 1, 2012 / Album Reviews, Featured Stories

    Where to start with this EP? First of all, the title of it is almost as clever as his some of his lyrics. Wake Hell or Make Peace starts off with “Black Mr. Rogers”, which is a pretty catchy tune, then my personal favorite, “Frenemy” is a tribute to all the haters out there. My favorite flow on it goes “Pause, you’re an imposter, it sucks cause you used to be number one on my roster” haha! We all have [...]

    When I heard NOFX was coming out with a new album, I instantly became anxious; also I found interesting that they were going to release it on September 11th. As I’m listening, I noticed that the album is a very dark one. It starts of with a song “72 hookers”, which clearly refers to what the Jihad assholes think they get in the afterlife; I liked this song as the start of the album. Some other favorites were “Cell Out” [...]

    Outlaw country devotees take note, this is the real deal! The fourth CD offering from this “acoustic” duo (Johnson, lead guitar and Fritz, rhythm guitar and vocals) from Ft. Worth is quite possibly their best yet. Considering the prolific and highly regarded back catalog, “best yet” is no easy feat. Check out youtube videos of the tracks “Drunk As Hell,” “Jim Beam and Me,” and “Wookie Pussy” for examples of previous greatness and fan devotion. The Wicked Roots is the [...]
