I requested to cover the sold-out They Might Be Giants show, because I recognized their name from a free sample song that came with my family’s Dell computer that ran Windows 2000. Before I even had my first iPod, I would listen to those songs when I would get bored of what I had on […]
Stepping onto the Las Vegas Festival Grounds for When We Were Young 2025 felt like every millennial’s early 2000s daydream. Before even getting through the gates, the hype was so real, with the line for the festival merch booth wrapping around the outside entrance; fans were eagerly waiting to snag swag before the day even […]
Cocoa Beach-based Karalyn & The Dawn Patrol is championing the scene as a female-forward band. With their bold sound and unapologetic presence, the group is breaking barriers, not only inspiring but reshaping the music industry — one performance at a time. Karalyn joins us once again for part two of our interview from 2022, this […]
I would like to begin this article by calling out one of my friends in the music community. Many years ago, I had tickets to go see The Growlers in Philadelphia, but I got pretty sick and was unable to attend. I won’t name any names, but I passed my tickets off and the consensus […]
A few months ago, a song called “Did I Say Too Much” slipped onto my Spotify playlist. It was one of those songs that refuses to let go. Within 24 hours, I’d spun it a thousand times — no exaggeration. The band behind it? Toronto’s own The Beaches. I typically don’t get so hooked on […]
Tuesday night in Nashville can be one of two things: mundane and routine or out-of-this-world and chaotic. On the one hand, you have the predictable crowds of tourists infesting Broadway like roaches under a refrigerator and, on the other, you have an event randomly pop up that blows the minds of true music fans in […]
Sunday the 21st of September was definitely a night to be remembered for those who attended The Who’s show at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California. Gracing stages across Canada and America for one final time, The Who’s The Song Is Over Farewell Tour brought special guests along for different shows along the way. Joining […]
To the average person/casual music listener/”normie”, the name Justin Hawkins may mean absolutely nothing. But to the throngs of rabid rock ‘n roll fans that packed Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl this past Saturday night, Hawkins is treated with a reverence comparable only to that held by Millennial “Swifties”. Perhaps we should begin referring to Darkness idolaters […]
One of my last concerts for the month of August felt exactly how those dwindling last few weeks of summer feel: reflective, moody, and nostalgic, with a little chill in the air. That’s how it felt seeing Goo Goo Dolls headline with Dashboard Confessional on the 21st. Both bands had a significant impact on the […]
St. Louis has been having one hell of a summer with the amount of bands coming through, especially all of our returning favorites from the last few decades! Mid-August, this midwest town was granted another epic show, this time the nostalgic punk-pop days of the 90s and naughts with a visit from The Offspring while […]
Creed made a triumphant return to the bay on Saturday, August 9th, when they rolled through Mountain View, California’s Shoreline Amphitheater for the Summer of ’99 Tour with special guests Sevendust and Mammoth. Creed is one of those rock bands that, in my opinion, needs no introduction. Whether it’s at a sports game, a restaurant, […]
It was another busy (and scorchingly hot) night at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater. The final Saturday of July was celebrated with a total of five performances, with the headliner being the very anticipated, quirky, and colorful AJR. The crowd was coming in steady as the first performers completed their sets. Madilyn Mei was the opener, […]
You wouldn’t think that a Tuesday night would end up a full-on party. But it’s summertime in San Diego, with the Padres playing (and winning) next door to The Rady Shell, where Beck was joining the San Diego Symphony on the waterfront for a one-of-a-kind performance of euphonic deep cuts he rarely (or never) performs […]
Sometimes, a show hits in a way that reminds you exactly why the music has stuck with you over time — how certain albums become part of who you are. Incubus‘s performance in San Diego on July 19th, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their mega hit album Morning View, was one of those shows. I’ve […]
On Friday July 18th, Incubus performed at The Venue at Thunder Valley in Lincoln, CA — one of those places where every seat in the house is a great seat! With a start time shift from 7:30 to 7pm, it was kind of a bummer for opener Paris Jackson who had to perform to an […]
