The new Wonder Woman trailer looks pretty amazing.

A band with the name “Wolf” in it has recently become as commonplace as a new Starbucks opening. But naming a trio after a certain Mr. Winston Wolfe from the classic Tarantino film Pulp Fiction? Well just like the Harvey Keitel played smooth operator who “fixed” Jules’ and Vincent’s accident , this Brooklyn based trio […]

[rating=7.00] Use Your Delusion, the debut solo album by Man Man frontman Honus Honus, is an album that is both eclectic and unsurprising. It carries all of the trademarks of Honus Honus’s other work – the eccentric lyrics, dark imagery, complex song structures, and piano-based instrumentation. It is unsurprising only in that the album doesn’t […]

A residency is a wonderful thing for a live music lover. A residency is that rare, regular occurrence that gives a musician and his audience something to look forward to, knowing that once a week for, in this case, a whole month, you each get to go back to the same local bar and sip […]

There aren’t many bands that have lasted for 50 years, and the list of those still at the top of their creative game is even smaller. High Noon: A 50-Year Retrospective will offer a fascinating look at one of the best. Street date for the set is November 11, 2016. Over the past half century, […]

And A Wrinkle in Time adds a key member to its cast.

Foxygen, the duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, announce their new album Hang, out January 20th on Jagjaguwar. The band has shared its lead single, “Follow The Leader” and accompanying video (below), and a North American tour. On their first proper studio record, the Los Angeles pair once again present their uncanny knack for pulling together myriad strands of influences to an elaborate, uncompromising vision. And […]

After playing the last of their 200 shows in more than 40 countries in support of their critically acclaimed 2012 album Celebration Rock, Japandroids took a much needed break to rest and recover after their last show in November of 2013. The band would not play again for three years. This month, they made their triumphant […]

moe. gave it up to the styles and soundtrack sounds of some of Quentin Tarantino’s 90’s films on their annual Halloween show.  This year’s shenanigans took place over two nights at the Fillmore in Philadelphia and Paul Citone shared these shots from 10/29.  

[rating=9.00] By all indications, Aaron Lee Tasjan is a star to be reckoned with. His previous work — a debut EP called Crooked River Burning and last year’s full length debut, In the Blazes — were simply the set-ups for a new album that is clearly his crowning glory, one ground in tradition and yet […]

[rating=8.00] When the main group in Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo’s life went on hiatus, he stopped playing his beloved six string for over a year. That period of mourning has now come to an end as the debut from his solo project The Dean Ween Group creatively titled has arrived. Fans of the cult band […]

Halloween is arguably the most anticipated show Phish plays. The band always keeps fans guessing, and over the years their epic theatrics on this holy musical holiday have become nothing short of legendary. Last night Phish added to their legacy as the hint from their Jimmy Fallon soundcheck from earlier this summer came to full […]

Also, could more Ghostbusters be on the way?

As anticipation for their forthcoming RTJ3 album continues to mount, un the Jewels have announced their first full scale North American headlining tour since 2015. The “Run the World” tour kicks off mid-January in Philadelphia and continues through to the end of February, with stops in veritably every major city in the US along the way. Support for the tour […]

Truett’s debut self-titled EP released Sept. 30 via Brooklyn Basement Records is a mind-melting onslaught of fuzzed out guitars and urgent vocals. He worked out each song while touring the South, night after night, screaming into the bright lights and cigarette smoke until the EP was fully formed. Years ago, when he was still just a […]

Over the years, the Palace Theatre in Albany, New York has been a regular Fall Tour stop for Gov’t Mule. What made their most recent performance on October 29th so unique compared to past shows was that this year, the New York Capitol venue hosted Gov’t Mule’s annual Halloween celebration. The performance honored the band’s […]

[rating=7.00] The Youngers’ third album Picture of You came about as the result of funds contributed through a KickStarter campaign, and it quickly becomes clear that the money was well spent. Songs such as “Picture of You,” “Down the Road” and “Old Times” sound as timeless as their titles imply. Still, the vision is flawlessly […]
