Post-show chat with Nick Diener of The Swellers
Sundays for me are usually a day of an embarrassingly large amount of inactivity. Coffee, breakfast, and nothing- and that usually works just fine for me, but this past Sunday was a day full of music that brought me right back to the prime of my youth.
Interview with MONKEY from The Adicts!
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…
Versus the World Q&A
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,…
Quickfire Questions with Lowtalker
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)….
Josiah Wolf of WHY? exclusive interview
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…
Chatting it up with Nate Bergman of Lionize
Lionize is a reggae-rock group hailing from Silver Spring, Maryland. In the last year they have released not one, but two full-length albums- Destruction Manual followed by Superczar and the Vulture. Both of these albums evoke influences from rock gods such as Jimi Hendrix, classic chillage like Bob Marley, and some bluesy vocals like Ronnie…
Hanging out poolside with Astronautalis
Charles Andrew Bothwell- a.k.a. Astronautalis- is one of the most interesting people in the world (right up there with the Dos Equis guy). 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…
Tim Riley from Souvenirs- Exclusive interview!
Souvenirs is a 4-man band from Carpinteria, CA, that are here to kick it old school and flat out raw. Being compared to Braid and Mineral, and I personally related them to Jimmy Eat World and a splash of Brand New, they are musicians on the emotional angsty rollercoaster called life and are here to…
Exclusive interview- Crystal Fighters
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!…
Hanging outside The Masquerade with Kevin Devine
Kevin Devine is amazing. He has been one of my favorite artists ever since I saw him open for The Get Up Kids in Tampa three years ago (along with Mansions—see my interview with them!). I have seen him three times, and it is never enough. Kevin recently released the album Between the Concrete and…
