07.03.10I See StarsStretching from hometown heroes in Michigan to a national touring act in just about four years, I See Stars has become a prominent band in the hardcore-electronica genre. They’ve toured with music heavy weights A Day To Remember, Dance Gavin Dance, and Asking Alexandria, headlined their own tour across the Northwest, and are currently on the 16th year of the Vans Warped Tour. I See Stars is, without a doubt, soaking in the success of their debut album 3D. Continue Reading...

05.30.10MGMTResulting from the overwhelming success of their debut LP, Oracular Spectacular, MGMT’s newest follow up two years later graced “Most Anticipated Albums of 2010” lists across the internet. In this case, however, “anticipated” was defined as both extraordinarily excited, and, well, biting your nails in a nervous manner to see if the duo could top past infectious hits such as the greatly-known “Electric Feel” or “Kids”. Continue Reading...

05.19.10Feature: LydiaIt seems as though all the really passionate artists are breaking up nowadays doesn’t it? After having been together for about seven years, Lydia (2003–present), has finally announced that they will be disbanding. Perhaps this was brought about sooner than intended by the departure of vocalist and keyboard player Mindy White. Or maybe this break up was in the works even before then, but Lydia has announced that after a fairly lengthy tour towards the end of this summer, they’ll no longer be together. Last week Lydia posted a note on Myspace officially announcing their future break up; this note ...

05.12.10NeverShoutNeverOn April 23rd, the booming voices of teenage boys and girls alike chanting “We want Chris!” pervaded through the TLA on South Street. As the lights dimmed over a stage clad in peace signs, shrill screams broke through the ballroom and a spotlight dropped on 19 year old Christofer Drew, better known as NeverShoutNever, from Joplin, Missouri. Drew opens the introduction of “Love is Our Weapon”, the first track on his debut full-length album What Is Love?, crooning a message of peace and unity to the sold-out venue. However, behind all of the love, peace, and unity being preached lies the ...

11.29.09Feature: Set Your GoalsLet’s be honest. Set Your Goals doesn’t really fit into any particular scene. Even their drummer, Mikey Ambrose, will admit that. So why did they make it onto the AP Tour Fall Ball's bill? This is a question that takes hardly any deliberation. What separates this band from others out there today is the fact that they’ve still managed to keep a message within their songs. Instead of losing their focus and turning towards what the crowd or the public may want, Set Your Goals has taken on a no-one’s-forcing-you-to-listen attitude. Despite this, they’ve picked up a lot of buzz ...

11.16.09Glamour Kills TourOn their second tour after the release of their arguably disappointing album, Nothing Personal, All Time Low has decided to switch things up… well, some things. With their opening acts including The Friday Night Boys, Hey Monday and We the Kings, it seems as if it’s impossible to escape certain bands these days because they all tour in the same, minute circle. This summer All Time Low did a short, two week run with We The Kings and Cartel. Earlier in the year the band also toured with Hey Monday in support of Fall Out Boy, and late last year ...
