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 […]
There’s something magical about catching a show at The Greek Theatre on a perfect June night in Los Angeles. The open-air venue, nestled in the Hollywood Hills, becomes the ideal backdrop for bands that know how to connect with their audience. On June 22nd, Barenaked Ladies reminded everyone why they’ve been beloved for over three […]
The west coast’s premier rock festival presented by Danny Wimmer, Aftershock, is set to return to Discovery Park in Sacramento from October 2nd through the 5th, 2025 — and it’s shaping up to be the festival’s biggest year to date. Last year’s record-breaking attendance was over 160,000 fans. Building on the momentum, Aftershock 2025 promises […]
Calling all elder emos! Start stretching and book those chiropractor appointments, because Sin City is back at it again with yet another epic weekend of throwback anthems. That’s right, When We Were Young returns to the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on October 18th and 19th! Is Vegas shifting from the EDM capital of the country […]
I looked this definition up before I wrote this: “Anti-blooming: A phenomenon that occurs when an image sensor is overexposed. Blooming can cause inaccurate data in neighboring pixels, which can reduce image quality.” Keep this definition in mind as we go through this album review. It has been over 25 years of making music for […]
