San Diego’s SOMA Mainstage was completely consumed by chaos on September 19th as Russian deathcore heavyweights Slaughter To Prevail brought their North American tour to with California newcomers Rev3rent in tow.

A couple of months ago, I was scrolling through Instagram stories when one of my friends (who also happens to be a music journalist) posted about a new band I’d never heard of before. The band was called The Barbarians of California and the song was “Bomb to a Knife Fight”. My first thought was […]
More than two decades after Fallen turned Evanescence into one of the defining rock bands of the early 2000s, Amy Lee can still walk onto an arena stage and make the whole thing feel intimate. The band’s recent St. Louis show was big, loud, and impressively produced. First up was Nova Twins, entertaining early fans […]
The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania was packed Friday night as fans came out for a night of hard rock, a bit of country, and a whole lot of noise. The night started with Eva Under Fire, who got the crowd going before Cody Jinks took the stage and switched things up with […]

I walked into Bridgestone Arena genuinely excited this past week. For starters, it would be my first time seeing openers Nova Twins and, while I’ve had a few opportunities to catch their shows in the past, I’ve never made it, so I was thrilled to finally see them live on a big stage. Second, I […]

It’s so not every day that you get to go to a concert where you can bang your head, scream, mosh… and also worship Jesus. Tonight was one of those nights and, honestly, I desperately needed it. I went to Detroit for Demon Hunter — a band long loved within the Christian rock arena. But […]
On Sunday, midwestern sad rock loyalists came out in droves to the sold-out Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines, Iowa for DAYSEEKER’s The Pale Moonlight Tour.

There was no letup of aggression the entire night of The Spring Horizons Tour, when four bands came together in Royal Oak, Michigan. Now, when I think of ‘spring horizons’, I think of nice relaxing vibes… these bands were anything but. The first band onstage was Heavensgate; you would honestly think that you were at […]
Sick New World was back! Not to be cliché, but it truly was bigger than ever this year at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. April 25th, 2026 turned the grounds into a full-day collision course of sound, sweat, and spectacle. There were four stages. 50+ bands to see. No downtime. From the second gates opened, it […]
I love the kind of crowd that shows up to a Clutch concert; you can feel the vibe they give off before even getting inside the venue. It’s a group of real rockers — people who share a deep love and respect for everything grunge and rock & roll. Those rockers came filtering through the […]
