Aaron Gillespie and William Beckett Announced the Tour of a Lifetime THIS is what my little teen scene heart has been waiting to hear for a long time. Aaron Gillespie decided to embark on a tour where he’ll be playing songs from both Underoath and The Almost. Basically, everything I listened to as a kid. And, he did one better by adding William Beckett to the tour, so basically, it’s my 2008 dream coming true. I don’t think I need to remind everyone how perfect he is. To add to the extreme amounts of joy we already feel, William Beckett… Read more »
Excuse the Emo Revival, But Acceptance Released a New Song If you’re a newby in this scene, the name Acceptance might not ring too many bells for you. You might have heard them on “Outlines” on All Time Low’s 2012 LP Don’t Panic. But, what you should know is that these guys released one of the best albums ever, Phantoms.

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this the… Read more »

I’m glad this movie exists; more movies need to be made addressing mental health issues—even if they’re comedies.
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 »
