Despite the fact that he was “wearing many hats” that evening, acting not only as a performer but also as his own tour manager and merch slinger, Kevin Devine took the time to meet up with Preach Electric the evening of the New Haven, Connecticut date of Thrice’s headlining tour.
Before the second show of their tour supporting Polar Bear Club, Greg Dunn, vocalist and guitarist of Purchase, New York-based band Moving Mountains, took time to talk to Preach Electric. Read more…
Resulting 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”.
It 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 was posted along with an unmastered version of a new song entitled “We Clean Up So Well”. The Lydia Finale: A Goodbye and Farewell Tour kicks off in July and it’s said that the tour will feature different special guests and performers every night of the tour. The band has also announced that they will be releasing a video for every song on their new album so it seems as though they’re not quite ready to say goodbye just yet and unfortunately, neither are we.

April 7, 2010 – A Day To Remember, August Burns Red, Silverstein, Enter Shikari in Philadelphia
On 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 story of a regular teenager from Missouri, struggling to find himself and the love he sings about. At the early age of only 16, Drew dropped out of high school to pursue his talents in the music business. For Christofer Drew, doing what he loved meant breaking the hearts of his parents and brother, and growing through his final teen years on the road.
