New project from Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden, The Madden Brothers, proves yet again they’re brilliant songwriters who know just how to hook us in, whether the genre’s pop, folk, acoustic, or anything in between.
Autumn is just around the corner, and that means one thing: it’s almost time to throw on your comfiest sweater and trade in the upbeat sunny anthems you’ve been singing the past four months for something a little more chilled out. It’s always fun to return to your usual favorites, but it’s even more exciting to add something unexpected to the playlist — which is why for this week’s Tuesday Ten, we asked our writers about ten songs they didn’t like until they heard them acoustic.
While it does boast one of the most impressive festival lineups of the year, Riot Fest isn’t just about the music — it’s also home to the most punk rock carnival around. And as we prepare ourselves for the wild ride of this year’s fest, we asked ourselves a question that few have dared to ask before: what if the artists playing this year’s Riot Fest were carnival attractions?
NGHBRS have grown to become a band that need no introduction, and they escalated themselves to a whole new level this Friday by headlining The Bowery Ballroom in New York City with support of Brick + Mortar, Made Violent, and Modern Chemistry.
In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’re exploring the connections between some of our favorite bands named after lyrics and the songs they’re titled for.
“All Along the Watchtower†is stripped to the bare bones of a song and a story, but it’s still enough to make it a timeless classic and inspire an incredible cover by the one and only Jimi Hendrix, and later, Envy on the Coast.
idobi managing editor Eleanor Grace caught up with Handguns guitarists Brandon Pagano and Kyle Vaught at the Toronto date to talk about the Common Vision Tour, the band’s new record, the over-politicization of pop punk, and a shocking amount of discussion on 5 Seconds Of Summer and GWAR.
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) played a few songs for us before their set at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. Here’s the guys playing “Rally the Troops! Poke Holes in Their Defenses! Line Our Coffers With Their Coffins!” Sorry about the wind! Forgot our windscreen at home.
Each month For The Record is here to bring you the best places to find your next favorite band in different cities all over the world—right to your screen. First stop: London.
