The days may be long gone of rushing to the local record store, money in hand, to grab the latest radio hit’s 45rpm single, but the excitement of flipping that record over and discovering the non-album track that lay on the other side will never wear off. In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’re exploring some of our writers’ favorite b-sides.
Here are some of our favorite photos from the APMAs show the other night!
In celebration of all the great music the UK has given us, we’ve put together some of our staff’s favorite up-and-coming UK artists in this week’s Tuesday Ten.
Bad Religion will be heading out on the road with fellow punk rockers The Offspring (playing their hit record Smash in full) and Pennywise later this summer for what’s sure to be a kickass US tour.

2013 was the year of the reunion, with everyone from Fall Out Boy to Knapsack teaming back up with their old bandmates, whether it was for a one-off anniversary tour or a full-blown comeback. Still, even with all of those reunions, there are still a handful of bands left who we wish would bless us with one last tour or some new music. Here are the top ten bands we wish we could see a reunion from – no matter how impossible our dreams may be.
Everyone Is Gay has released The Gayest Compilation Ever Made Volume II. The album includes tracks from indie artist Allison Weiss, Motion City Soundtrack vocalist Justin Pierre and singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs.
The Lawrence Arms have a released a new music video for “Seventeener (17th and 37th)” over at Spin. The track comes off the band’s upcoming album Metropole, which can be pre-ordered now through Epitaph Records. The video was directed by Ben Pier and depicts the band trying to make it in Los Angeles as everything from a hair metal trio to juggalos. Check it out below! httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRDtqR0sYaI
Last week we published our official top albums of 2013 list, featuring everyone from The Wonder Years and Fall Out Boy to The 1975 and Vampire Weekend. Lots of complicated math and science were involved in calculating the final list, but we thought we’d let you have a look at all of our individual staff lists as well.
