The Sound in Del Mar, California hosted an old-fashioned rock-and-roll show on a Sunday night in late September. Dogstar, featuring none other than Keanu Reeves on bass, has music that would fit comfortably on local alternative rock radio station 91X today, as well as at any time in the 1980s or 1990s — when the […]
Hot Flash Heat Wave brought their nostalgic 2010s punk rock energy to downtown San Diego as part of their tour following the release of their fourth album, Butterfly in a Landslide.

There are music festivals… and then there are gatherings built for a community that speaks the same language.

After the passing of frontman Lux Interior in 2009, Cramps fans figured that the band itself was permanently laid to rest. No more new music. No more tours.

Brooklyn-based band Local Weatherman has new music to share! Titled Right One, the five-track EP follows the band’s breakout album of 2023 — although this time dripping with emo-tinted introspection. It’s melancholic, remorseful… all the makings of a good ‘sad boy’ saga. Relationships are tricky, especially when you know you’re the problem. Right One chronicles […]
There’s something deeply satisfying about a band that knows exactly who they are. After nearly three decades in the game, Dropkick Murphys have delivered For the People, an album that feels both quintessentially DKM and remarkably mature — like finding an old friend who’s gotten wiser with age without losing any of their fire. Let me […]
A lot changes when you move to a big city… and there’s no bigger city with more opportunities to grow or get lost (or both) than the Big Apple. Laveda — after relocating to Queens from their hometown of Albany — offers a much grittier sound in their third album Love, Darla: a 10-track fever […]
