Ministry

Al Jourgensen is the human bridge connecting the last 40 years of the sub-culture in America. His friendships were made on the real side of rock, and his influence sprawls the landscape of alternative culture. He is truly a living legend.

Coheed & Cambria

Fantasy for Coheed and Cambria bassist Michael Todd has always meant being a rock star. While fans of the band's high-concept prog-rock albums might expect all the members of the group to share frontman Claudio Sanchez's love of comic books and expounding on the sci-fi storyline of the band's two namesake characters through song, Todd has remained a rocker.

Sevendust

Sevendust has been reborn. Before speculations swirl about the Atlanta metal band officially calling themselves a Christian act, get the story straight.

Murder By Death

The best mystery novels have shadowy figures who appear and disappear without warning, leaving clues and revealing information in their wake.

Josh Muther

The term "singer-songwriter" has evolved from evoking images of train-traveling troubadours and the folk-y peaceniks of the '60s to the soul-bearing hopeless romantics of today.

Dooley Noted

The old saying goes: too many cooks in the kitchen ruin the broth. Well, for local musician, former pantry chef and self-confessed foodie Megan Dooley, this adage couldn't be further from the truth, at least when it comes to her new album, Edible Audibles.

Mobia Post

They gather around the guitarist's back porch one afternoon after putting in eight or nine hours at separate straight jobs.

MAN MAN | RABBIT HABITS

The title says it all, really. Man Man wants to fuck! Like rabbits, lead singer Honus Honus and his band of merry-mustachioed macho men are looking to get it on as often and with as many partners as possible, a fact made evident not only through close inspection of the bawdy lyrics to this, the band’s third LP, but also on brutal display through the hip-shaking, booty-scratching funkiness of their musical arrangements.

R.E.M. | ACCELERATE

Everything I read is calling Accelerate R.E.M.’s comeback record, an unfair assessment in my opinion, as I consider all of their records, even the last couple, to be worthwhile spins. What it is, in many respects, is an aesthetic return to form for the group. Where the last decade had the group dabbling in electro elements and down-tempo dynamics, Accelerate revisits the punk/folk exuberance that brought the group to prominence in their late-‘80s early-‘90s heyday.

ASPHODEL FIELDS | HEAD FOR THE HILLS

If only Panic At The Disco’s new album had half the energy of Asphodel Fields’ “We’re Not In Kansas Anymore.” The bouncing bass brings the song to life, really capturing what makes the young electronic band so good and their maturation thus far. Listening to early versions of the echoing “How Did You Get Such A Huge Huge Head” and the explosive “There Goes The Neighborhood,” do little to prepare for the more live-like revitalizations of both with bigger, full-band arrangements.
