Today’s Mixtape Festival has announced its full lineup, taking place August 15-16 in Patchogue, NY.
Four Year Strong are streaming their newest single, “Eating My Words” from their upcoming self-titled album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw5nZeptzEU Montage of Heck aired on HBO yesterday and it made me feel so many things. Even now, I’m struggling to get the words out. I want to make something clear before I continue: this is not about me. This is not about MY experience with Nirvana. This is not how I found out when Kurt Cobain died. This is about, after twenty-something years of avoiding everything Kurt post-mortem, that I was finally able to look into a deceased person’s life and I saw something I’d never seen before. I never read his diaries. I’ve barely listened to Nirvana since… Read more »
Brand New Cannot Do Anything Wrong. Ever. So, they opened their show with a new song and I’m pretty sure I cried over it. Okay, I definitely cried over it. Brand New is making their comeback loud and clear. They’ve posted a new promo picture, wiped everything off their Instagram, presented new music, and played “Soco Amaretto Lime” at their show in Denver. Basically, they said “Hey, look, we’re really back now and we’re going to do all of this and make you cry.” Did I mention I’m seeing them for the first time ever this week? Well, I am.… Read more »
Four Year Strong have announced that their self-titled fifth studio album will be released on June 2nd through Pure Noise Records.
Thursday, March 19th I flew into South by Southwest this afternoon. Tonight, I strode 6th Street. amid the scene here in Austin. I felt a tension between, and within, the musicians, attendees, and the city. The dichotomy is an inclination toward indie values, opposed by the gravitation of commercialism. I realize this as I happen on IFC’s Fairgrounds, which features a music stage, interactive attractions such as a Velcro wall, and food trucks and a beer stand. It’s like a festival within a festival and it is a microcosm of SXSW. It’s an insular fantasy realm manifested by marketers and… Read more »
I Call Fives put a pop-punk twist on the 90s alt-rock gem “How’s It Going to Be” originally by Third Eye Blind this week on (Un)covered.
It’s Monday morning. The thought of getting out of bed makes you want to punch a hole in the wall. There’s no bacon or eggs for breakfast, your ex won’t stop calling, and your overly cheerful co-worker won’t stop chatting your ear off about some “super fun-tastic!” projects. If any of this applies to you, you just might be having a Ron Swanson kind of day. Here are six killer tunes to get you through the day. 1.America, F*** Yeah!- Team America It’s easy to get grumpy over the thought of going to work, but hey, at least you live… Read more »
Strangers To Ourselves is a solid, standard, Modest Mouse record. If you’ve grown to love the twangy twang of Brock’s voice paired with soaring notes on delay, then this record will easily slide into your current rotation…
Travis Barker Did A Thing And I’m Happy About It This will be the thrilling sequel to the book series I decided to start last week. But no, Travis deserves all the candy and flowers in the world for finally saying what we’ve all been thinking… Tom Delonge uses pro-tools and needs to grow a pair and quit. Beyond that, Travis’s interview with Alternative Nation was a thrilling, and exciting look into the future of Blink-182, hopefully with Matt Skiba, and what he’s doing on the side. I think this new Blink album is going to be one of their… Read more »
