I’ve always heard of the mystical and elusive character Saxsquatch: a wily upright ape-man, wandering around the Pacific Northwest with instrument in hand. The legend of Saxsquatch actually dates back to the first saxophone ever created by 19th Century musician and outdoorsman Gilhorn Von Bugle Sax, who carelessly left his invention on a tree stump […]
Trying to find parking around the Music Box in downtown San Diego clearly indicated that there was a notable event taking place: the streets were lined with punkers — mostly of Gen X age, but some Boomers, some Millennials — all dressed in black, leather, and walking in the same direction. Gary Numan was in […]
It’s here — another two glorious weekends at Coachella! While Weekend One-ers are gearing up for the great unveiling of the 2024 installment, let’s look at a few not-so-obvious thrill spots and chill spots that await attendees of both weekends. Sure, the music’s great. But what else? Between the iconic ferris wheel and the controlled […]
When brothers Kevin and Jeff Saurer roll into town, you know it’s going to be a party. Formally known as the alternative EDM duo Hippie Sabotage, these talented brothers bring the laser lights and kaleidoscopic visuals associated with the deejay scene — yet so much more. Between switching off on live guitar and bouncing into […]
There have been few rock geniuses since the genre’s inception — and we can argue all day who in fact qualifies within this elite 1%. But I’m sure most would agree that David Bowie places somewhere near the top. Although this musician has left this planet for his next transmission, his legacy lives on through […]
I’m a child of the 90s. When Backstreet Boys let loose their self-titled album in 1997, I was in third grade — their target audience. I had already been primed by Aqua and Spice Girls, bumping everything from Jock Jams to Ace of Base… before boy band mania hit, right as Leo went down with […]
Rastafari Ras Fraser Jr. returns with this breathtaking world video premiere of “My Forever Love” — an ode to his homeland and source of eternal inspiration. From the picturesque waterfalls to the ocean waves, Jamaica is — and forever will be — a slice of paradise. The track, produced by Love Star Music, goes on […]
A lot can be said about an instrumental album, considering the journey is all in the sound. One moment, it can be upbeat, jazzy, brimming with confidence; the next, it can wind down to almost defeat, oozing with melancholy. Layer upon layer, it’s the fusion of melody, musicianship, and machinery — not to mention all […]
StoneTribe is gearing up with the full-length release of Sync or Swim on March 15th with one more official lyric visualizer release of the single “Locked Away”.

The creators of Darker Waves have done it again — only this time hopping genres. In the span of one summer day in LA, all the funk, soul, and R&B icons of the 60s, 70s, and 80s are coming together for the grooviest happening the world has yet to see. Seriously, this is not a […]
The genre of darkwave capitalizes on feelings of emptiness, apathy, and futility to sell records… but that only scratches the surface. Sure, the guitar most often pierces a post punk song layered with a hefty amount of reverb, guiding the listener through somber sounds and monotone vocals until the very end. But there are also […]
Florida alt reggae band Seranation wants to live the easy life. They really, really do. They recommend it to everyone else, as well. However, sometimes, things just don’t go your way: people can project their problems onto you, unexpected stress can get dumped on your plate, or the best laid plans can get soiled due […]
It’s not every day that you’re able to see a band that made rock what it is today… a band that pushed the envelope of popular music along from ‘nifty 50s’ bop to the raw rock-and-roll of the 70s. Guess Who’s still touring???! That’s right, the Canadian rock band from Winnipeg ain’t givin’ up yet. […]
Rastafari Ras Fraser Jr. is dropping truth bombs in his latest music video for “Talk Truth”, recorded as part of the 876 Tingz Live series. Ras Fraser Jr. says, if it’s hateful, stressful, negative, or just plain annoying, “we don’t wanna hear from you”… or you, or you! Melodic (with a slight touch of autotune) […]
Damn, those kids today… You know the ones. A grand example is the rising rock-and-roll trio out of New Haven, Connecticut, making all the noise in the next house over. That sound you hear?
