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? That’s The Problem With Kids Today, who’s perfectly willing to show you just how far their noise can go. Formed in […]
In Southern California, every day is an excuse to live the ‘beach life’. The calendar doesn’t matter — neither do clocks, really — as long as the sun is shining. But that’s not to say SoCal residents don’t get excited when the weather warms and summer creeps just ahead on the horizon… Enter the month […]
We’re living in an era of nostalgia, with even the weirdest fads returning full-force. Reboots of 80s movies are bringing in the most chatter at the box office, while bands that were seemingly forgotten a few years ago are currently selling out tours at numbers never thought plausible. So… it was only a matter of […]
This time of year might have us all snowed-in and snuggly, but it’s also the time of year to plan ahead for all the fun times lurking on the horizon. One such event is the annual BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley, CA — bringing the best of music, food, wine, and more to the forefront […]
It’s Friday night at the Music Box in downtown San Diego… the Friday following New Year’s Eve (a mere five days prior), meaning most inhabitants of this coastal town are in hibernation mode until further notice. But not the synth-loving, darkwave fans of Princess Goes — a sonically progressive band led by renowned actor Michael […]
The lyrical genius and mad beat slayer known as Atmosphere are back in action with new Talk Talk EP, a concept album released on December 1st. Being the time of year for reflection, might as well take a minute to audit the past 40. For those unaware of the breadth of talent this hip hop […]
As we are approach the holidays, with all the opportunities of 2024 ahead, it’s time to reflect on the music brought forth by seemingly infinitesimal talent over this past year. We are truly living in an era of creative content — the bulk of which might slip you by if your algorithm doesn’t serve it […]
Get ready for another black rose superbloom in Pasadena this May! It’s the royal return of Cruel World Festival to the Rose Bowl on May 11th, presented by Goldenvoice. In similar darkwave style, this third installment is chock full of apathetic bands spanning from the early days of post punk all the way to today. […]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, it almost was, being two days before Thanksgiving 2023. But to world-class violinist Lindsey Stirling, the holidays are something to be celebrated all year long, evidenced in her two yuletide albums Warmer in the Winter and her latest Snow Waltz. If there is one person that […]
The year — 1997. The grade — second. In my short amount of life, I happen to have in my possession three compact discs to date, entities quickly replacing cassette tapes in the music world. Those albums were that of Ace of Base, Spice Girls, and — the CD cherished most among them all — […]
Since 2017, Joe Walsh, his family, and his friends have actively raised funds for United States veterans in the form of VetsAid — a benefit concert unlike any other. With so many veterans coming back from active duty with mental health issues, after being exposed to chemicals and materials causing cancers, Joe Walsh has taken […]
1998… oh, what a year in music. While bubblegum pop ramps up for the teeny-boppers, alt rock is at an all-time high on the airwaves, dominating the Top 40 for the most part. Among the heavy-hitters of the genre, really titans of the entire rock industry, was R.E.M. — a band that need no introduction. […]
A legendary rock band at an iconic venue on a Friday night in Los Angeles. Talk about a wild ride — one you simply couldn’t miss if you were in the area. Now, I’ve been to the Hollywood Bowl quite a few times, for shows purportedly ‘sold out’… but this one takes the cake. You […]
