Day One of the California Roots Festival kicked off at the historical Monterey Fairgrounds once again on May 23rd, 2025. Reggae fans from all over the country traveled to Monterey to see friends and the stacked reggae-meets-hip hop lineup — with Day One leaning heavily into the former. The day was nice… not too cold, […]
For 25 years, Punk Rock Bowling has turned the desert into a three-day haven for misfits, music lovers, and anyone who still believes in the power of three chords and the truth. What started as a small gathering has grown into one of the most important punk festivals in the world, drawing fans from every […]
On May 17th, Pappy + Harriet’s in Pioneertown became a heartfelt haven as Los Angeles’ finest, The Altons and Thee Sinseers, brought their Club Heartache Tour to the high desert, with a backdrop against the Joshua trees and dusky rays. Both bands, which are side-projects of one another for some members, brought in a new […]
There are few live acts that can consistently deliver a masterclass in controlled chaos as impactful as Justice. After an over-the-top headlining act to San Francisco’s own Portola Music Festival last fall, the French electronic duo took their sci-fi-esque light show and production back to the Bay Area, proving that their music stretches beyond Europe’s […]
Denzel Curry knows how to end things with a bang, whether it’s his tour, other artist’s tours, at an intimate venue, or at an arena. On the final U.S. stop of his Mischievous South Tour, the Miami Gardens rapper turned The Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles into a war zone of mosh […]
It was a wet Sunday night in Nashville and I was beyond excited as I packed up my camera bag and headed to The Basement East. It had been a long time since I’d shot a show at this venue, but with a lineup featuring HEALTH and Author & Punisher, I knew I had to […]
There was a reason I love watching metalcore shows; you can feel the energy of each song when you listen it, radiating off each musician onstage as they slam on their instruments. All four bands during the Shapeshifter Tour brought this energy to Grand Rapids, Michigan… and it turned out to be one of the […]
My Morning Jacket recently wrapped up the first half of their Is Tour. We caught up with them at the second-to-last stop at The Pageant in St. Louis to see what the Louisville band was up to. The last time I saw My Morning Jacket was on the backend of a three-hour set that they […]
A country artist, a metalcore band, and a rock band came together for an insane night in Toledo, Ohio for the Dance, Kid, Dance Tour. You wouldn’t think this could happen, but it did and it worked. Morgan Wade was the first one onstage. She started off the night with more chill and dark country […]
St. Louis was overflowing with an emo, rock, pop punk mishmash of sound this past Monday night at The Pageant. Mayday Parade came to St. Louis with a sold-out show for their Three Cheers for 20 Years Tour, having just began a week prior. With them, they brought the talents of Like Roses, Grayscale, and Microwave: […]
Born out of the vibrant Boone, North Carolina music scene, Babe Haven has quickly established themselves as one of the most compelling new forces in modern metal. Yet, at their core, the band’s inception was refreshingly simple — there was a desire to “just play”. Guitarist Naomi Poesel recalled during our sit-down conversation that she […]
Let me take a moment to paint you a picture with my words. Whether you have been to an EDM show or not, I want you to join me as we walk into the St. Louis venue Mississippi Underground to see SVDDEN DEATH. It was a Friday night and the evening was jam packed with […]
G-Eazy lit up the stage at the Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines as part of his Helium Tour, delivering a high-energy performance that captivated the intimate crowd. The evening featured supporting acts Marc E. Bassy and Goody Grace, each bringing their unique flair to Iowa. Goody Grace kicked off the night with just […]
Can you remember the first song you ever listened to of a band? We all have one… that one song that opened the musical doors in your mind. Something about it clicks with you; you can’t explain it. For whatever reason, it just feels right. The first time I heard Bright Eyes, I was 16 […]
There are some artists that are true enigmas in their craft… Ones that you can’t peel your eyes away from as they perform; ones that fully encompass the music they make. I was excited to finally see K. Flay live (been waiting over a decade for it!!), but little was I prepared for the wild […]
