Tragedy shook the metal community this past Friday evening when the roof of the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, IL collapsed during a show. At the time, the venue was hosting Morbid Angel, Revocation, Crypta, and Skeletal Remains for the “United States Tour of Terror.” While the featured acts were between sets, a tornado ripped through the area and consequently, the venue. Following the disaster, more than 40 concert-goers were left injured and one victim tragically passed away. Since these events, a GoFundMe page has been organized to help cover the funeral costs for the deceased victim, Fred Livingston Jr. Read… Read more »
Sadly, it may be a moment before we receive any substantial news from the members of Rage Against The Machine in regard to their rescheduled European and North American tour dates. After vocalist Zach De la Rocha sustained a leg injury in Chicago during the band’s US reunion tour in July, he persevered through the remainder of the tour performing while seated. Unfortunately, due to the severity of Zach De la Rocha’s Achilles tear, the band was forced to cancel their European show dates and their 2023 North American tour dates.

“You can be king of everything, because I’m busy being the queen of me” Us pop-punk kids have top-tier taste in music. Everything from blink-182 to Simple Plan to Paramore. We love the music that cuts deep and makes you want to get up and smash into things. We have to admit, sometimes that love for the pop side of the genre takes over. Maybe it even bleeds into a bit of country-pop. We know we have our Swifties out there in the scene. However, long before Taylor—there was Shania and, man, do we love her (just ask our very… Read more »
Geek Girl Riot is here with a TV binge-watch update before revisiting the Sandman universe, which leads to a conversation about femme empowerment.
The Nerds start out the show discussing how they should form a “society” which sounds a little cult-ish, but we assure you it isn’t! Then we get into the nitty gritty of reviewing some za-za we’ve come across this week and along with good comes the ugly! We have one review we need you to hear! Also, we talk about some of California’s legalization blunders and how weed may not induce as much psychosis as the media will have you believe! And we huff and puff about our usual gripe, big cannabis coming for us all! But throughout it all… Read more »
“Straight to my head like I’m floating above the clouds. All I see is stars, far from the panic don’t know how I live without” The initial thought after hearing THE DRIVER ERA album Summer Mixtape: It’s addicting. Summer may be over according to the calendar but Ross and Rocky Lynch have completely captured the essence of sunny days and turned it into an album. They kick off the 11-track album with “Malibu” and it immediately has you bobbing your head. (This is not an exaggeration. I automatically danced in my seat.) Their music releases an insane amount of serotonin.… Read more »
“I wanna know the measure from here to forever, and I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever” Death Cab for Cutie has felt like a warm blanket for over twenty years. Even with music that is rooted deep in emotion, there is a comfort that they bring to the table. It’s been four years since Thank You For Today and today we are finally able to soak in their 10th studio album: Asphalt Meadows. The moment Ben Gibbard’s voice starts up on the first track, “I Don’t Know How I Survive”, you feel like you’re home. As always,… Read more »
