The Wonder Years’ third full-length The Greatest Generation proves once and for all that the band’s significance goes far beyond their infectious sound and tattoo-ready lyrics. The third in a trilogy, the album is made up of thirteen of the strongest and most meaningful songs the band has ever written, cementing them as one of the most important acts of this decade.
Indie rock has been growing exponentially popular in the mainstream, and newcomers Atlas Genius are sure to make their mark in the scene with When It Was Now. With smooth vocals, lush synths, and vivid guitars, this album is perfect for long drives or relaxing with your friends.
Origo, a start-up company founded by Artur Tchoukanov and Joris Peels, is developing what some are calling the Easy-Bake Oven of the next generation — a “printer” that creates three-dimensional objects out of drawings.
And it’s so simple that a kid could use it. Which is great, because it’s just for kids.
“American Idol” fans barely had time to process Paula Abdul’s shocking exit from the show back in August before another surprise came their way: Ellen DeGeneres would be taking her seat on the judges’ panel.
NEW YORK – Barely a year after it opened in Soho, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s New York annex is closing. The Cleveland-based parent Hall of Fame confirmed Friday that its New York affiliate, which required a $9 million investment and was part of a broader expansion plan, will shut its doors on Jan. 3.
I am often asked, “How to do I attract a agent?” But first an artist needs to ask themselves, “Am I ready for a booking agent?” The venues and promoters that you want to work with are running businesses.

Tapping on fake instruments and screeching into microphones connected to video game consoles has become lucrative for both the music and gaming industries. Downloadable tunes for music-based games “Guitar Hero,” “Rock Band” and “SingStar” have become as vital as iTunes itself – and one of the last ways to expose youngsters to classic rock.

Before they became flush with major-label cash, Jimmy Eat World had to rely on good old-fashioned ingenuity to make things happen. Everything they did – from booking shows and studio time to hawking merch and demo cassettes – they did on their own (believe it or not, some bands actually work this way).

While on tour in Japan earlier this month – in support of last year’s Futures album – frontman Jim Adkins picked up his camera and PowerBook and started making short… Read more »
Death Cab for Cutie and “The O.C.” have had a symbiotic relationship almost since the teen beach drama began in August, 2003. Protagonist Seth Cohen (actor Adam Brody) named-dropped the Washington state indie-rockers liberally and sported posters of the group on his wall, giving them mainstream exposure they probably never expected. In turn, Seth, his refined taste, and the show itself have earned a stellar reputation in music-geek circles. Death Cab have had their music featured in key scenes before, but the group will finally perform on “The O.C.” on April 20. The group will play two songs from its… Read more »
