  • Thoughts on the new Looking For Alaska song “Gainesville”

    Woe, Is Me has lost as many members -six- as there are in the band today. Underoath is a completely different band than they were in 1997. Emarosa and Chiodos have had battles with their Craig’s (Jonny Craig and Craig Owens) for years. Member switch-ups are hard and oftentimes can present the band with a

  • Sometimes Bands Get Popular, but I Guess That’s Okay Too

    Sometimes Bands Get Popular Featured

    Unless you’re living under a rock or you’re one of those guys who finds music news from Metal Injection (that’s a thing, right?) and CMHWAK (look it up.

    It seems as if all bands who experience popularity during their career do it one of two ways. Of course, bands can always rely on sticking to trends, and push out an album hoping that it sticks on with crowds so long as the fad lasts. On the other hand, some bands craft a signature

  • Dead Swans: Anxiety and Everything Else

    Dead Swans - Promo

    Listening to Dead Swan’s new EP, Anxiety and Everything Else, is exhausting. Not tiring in the sense that the music is a chore to sit through, but because it’s damned near impossible to remain seated while listening to the quintet from Brighton, UK, tear through the EP’s seven tracks. If anything, the band perfectly captures

  • Say Anything: Baseball

    Say Anything - Promo

    Sayanything’s Baseball is the definition of growing pains. It’s the stem pushing through the dirt, hinting at the beginning of something special. It’s angsty-teen pop punk, but there’s definitely something more happening here.  At just 17, Max Bemis was not yet the universally praised songwriter who penned 2004′s …Is a Real Boy. But he was
