Singer/songwriter Regina Spektor played to a sold out crowd at the Fillmore in Philadelphia. She is on a 18- date trek, touring in support of her newest album Remember Us to Life. She was greeted with thunderous applause the moment she walked out on stage and it pretty much set the tone for the rest of […]

[rating-8.00] As the tongue-in-cheek title suggests, Soundgarden’s Ultramega OK was always a pretty good but not great album. The Seattle grunge pioneers made the mistake of switching from Sub Pop to SST Records and working with a producer, Drew Canulette, who was unfamiliar with their sound or the Seattle scene in general.

North Carolina’s Sinners & Saints released their second full-length album, On The Other Side, on March 10th. Although Sinners & Saints consists of two members, Perry Fowler and Mark Baran, whose harmonies are front and center, don’t think of them as an acoustic duo. With Baran on the upright bass, Fowler adding color with the […]

Almost three decades have passed since Green Day first began channeling their teen angst through rock n roll. The band’s latest album Revolution Radio reflects their infectious joy for life while addressing social awareness.  On Friday night (3/10), just outside the capital city of Atlanta, Green Day brought their politically charged party to the Infinite […]

[rating=6.00] Tim Kasher has long been a bastion of the emo-folk scene out of Omaha spearheaded by Conor Oberst. In his primary project, Cursive, Kasher has maintained a delicate balance between his crew’s more folk tendencies and the band’s stated post-hardcore purpose.
