Towards the end of the show, the battering chorus of “Ginger” made me blurt out that this band was the Weezer of the 21st Century. Granted, Weezer is still a band in the 21st Century (sort of), but that subject is too painful for me to pursue. I wasn’t linking them up with ...
The Stones pulled double duty during their first 'SNL' appearance, acting as both the host and musical guest. The band appeared in two sketches that evening, but unsurprisingly, it was during the musical numbers that it truly shined. Over the course of an emphatic, 13-minute performance, the...
While we don’t particularly put the band into that category today, their self-titled debut album in 1994 was the basis for the melodic side of the emo genre. Jimmy Eat World came together around this time as well, though by now, they and Weezer are more aptly labeled under the pop-pu...

How “emo” got its name is fuzzy. One account has an Embrace audience member shouting “emocore” as an insult. Said shouter felt betrayed by frontman Ian MacKaye for disbanding political hardcore band Minor Threat for more introspective music. (Kind of like that “Judas” shout when Bob ...
Perhaps one of the most attractive part about the band is their mystique. Though Maynard James Keenan often writes from a spiritual and philosophical perspective, the band doesn't bother to ever unveil the meaning behind their songs. So, people are left to concoct their own theories, and as...
However, as good as the band is, the group took a backseat to inimitable Miss Sharon Jones, who put that “Evolution of Dance” YouTube video your grandmother sends you every year to shame. After informing us that we’d be getting “None of that twerking”, she went on to demonstrate...
