You’ve read our rave reviews of Dead Ellington‘s Refuse EP (I’m speaking to the Vinyl loyalists here). You know that they are on tour starting today (I’m speaking to the Dead Ellington loyalists here). Now, get pumped- I have a gift for you. A little chat with DE’s Jason Caira, Sal Medrano, and Brandon Phillips. …
The Adicts have FINALLY released their new album, All the Young Droogs today. ATYD is their 10th studio album, and it has arrived just in time for the band’s 35th anniversary. For any droog newbies out there, The Adicts are an extremely influential upbeat punk rock band who got their start in the 70s (which…
SoCal rock band Versus The World have announced that will join MxPx Allstars and Unwritten Law on a fall U.S. tour in support of their new album, Drink. Sing. Live. Love., which was released on July 31 from Viking Funeral Records. I got the chance to throw a couple of questions at vocalist/guitarist Donald Spence,…
Lowtalker is made up of Stu Ross (vocalist/guitarist), Matt Keil (vocalist/bassist), Casey Hjelmberg (guitarist), and Branden Morgan (drummer). The band is made up of former members of such bands as Misery Signals, Living with Lions, and Comeback Kid (but if you’re assuming you know what they sound like from their resume, think again my friends)….
Just got off the phone with Josiah Wolf, drummer from alternative (not to mention damn awesome) hip hop band WHY?. For those of you who are living under a rock, WHY? just released their Sod in the Seed EP on August 14, and they are set to release a full-length entitled Mumps, Etc. on October…

He is one of those people that always has something to say, and it is always something you want to listen to and know more about. Really makes interviewing him effortless and…
Got to sit down (Indian style) with Joe Michelini (writer/guitarist/vocalist for the band) from River City Extension. Such a nice guy! I love when I am able to talk to people who really have something to say, especially when it is interesting. River City Extension is an eight-member “lyrical folk” band from Toms River, New…
Everyone should know who The Drowning Men are. Everyone should listen to the song “Rita” (yes, it’s their most popular, but there is a reason– it’s incredible. Repeat repeat repeat…). And everyone should go see them live. Got the chance to sit down with James and Nato from the band before their show at the…
This was pure chance. A friend of mine ran into George Boedecker (founder of Crocs) in the elevator of our hotel while I was staying in Nashville for the week. He mentioned that he was recording an album. She mentioned that she had a friend with a music magazine (me!), and the next thing I…
Crystal Fighters are officially in my head. If you haven’t already checked out their recent US release, Star of Love, you should definitely get on it. While you’re at it, be sure to see my review of their album here. I got to interview CF (thank you, Atlantic Records!), and you get to read it!…
