As a result of the success of bands such as Green Day and the Offspring in the mid-1990s, and the continued rotation of these bands on radio stations and MTV, punk rock had joined the ranks of commercial alternative music. With demand high, record labels and video game developers saw an...
I am inviting you to enjoy some of my favorite music, and to be introduced to one of my favorite bands (if you don't adore them already!) - GHOST. They have been around for several years and for many of those years, the band has been fronted by a different front man known as Pap...
In turning the page to Poughkeepsie, NY's Against the Current, I don't want to harp too much longer on a cautionary tale. Apart from that to which I've already drawn attention, the bands don't have all that much in common, and knowing the end of VE's story shouldn't invite clouds...
NFG compares themselves to the ’96 Bulls, and makes a dig at Jordan, Rodman and Pippen, saying that they would make a better team than the NBA legends. In the world of pop-punk New Found Glory have a very solid argument that they are one of the most legendary bands in the genre in...

Not really. Their ears are all clogged up with incessant rubbish spewing from the mouths of their peers who think they know better. But then if the great music of old is truly out dated, why is that when “Paranoid” is played in between bands at festivals do the crowd stop talking and...
The rockers are back out on their first tour since the tragic death at age 41 of lead vocalistTrevorStrnad, with guitarist Brian Eschbach since taking over on lead vocals. They’re remembering how one of Trevor's roles was uplifting young and new bands, and how they plan to do their bes...
Not many bands are more badass than Deap Vally, whether it be their don’t-take-no-shit attitude or musical style. They don’t need help on stage either, growling guitar and hard hitting drums are all the instrumentation necessary for the girls to rock out. Julie Edwards has a way of...
The two bands came together and performed the song live on September 25th, 2005 at the Louisiana Superdome's grand reopening. In June 2007, the band recorded John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" for the benefit album Instant Karma, whose profits went towards the conflicts in Darfur. On May ...
