I learned pretty quickly back at SXSW that Pulled Apart By Horses are nothing short of unpredictable. Not only do they offer their audience a wide range of no holds barred rock, they’re no stranger to insane onstage antics either- which is more than welcomed by their fans and fellow music fiends. I was pretty
It was pretty weird seeing Anberlin’s name in semi small print on the Sonisphere lineup, seeing as they’re such a force to be reckoned with in the states, dominating radio waves and feeding us with carefully created tunes and tracks.

I didn’t think anything could top the intimate, mainly acoustic performance I’d been lucky enough to witness at the Bootleg Theater in L.A. back in March. Nonetheless, I followed about a trillion
It’s officially Day Two here at Sonisphere and following yesterday’s Big 4 lineup (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer) the fest is upping the ante with a little Mars Volta, Kids In Glass Houses, Architects, You Me At Six, and one of my fave UK spawned groups, Pulled Apart By Horses.

Among the list of seasoned musical veterans already mentioned (Mars Volta, Biffy Clyro, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax) we here at bestnewbands.com decided we’d point you in the right direction of

The dust has settled from the 4-day whirlwind of music that was Northside Festival, but what an amazing whirlwind it was. There was music just about everywhere, spilling into the street from bars, some people literally playing on a street corner (not part of Northside, but street bands always pop up during festivals), and some
Sometimes you’re 5,000 miles away from home and it’s the little things that make you So Cal sick. You know- the fact that avocados take a week to ripen here, that tortilla chips need to be found in the ethnic food aisle, and the fact that ranch dressing doesn’t even exist here. Newsflash, it’s not
The annual showcase of artistic awesomeness known as Northside Festival is upon us! Beginning this Thursday, June 16th through Sunday the 19th, this festival of music, film, art, and ideas is taking place all across the north side of Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods in Brooklyn. This festival is one of the reasons that I’m proud
Portlanders (and anyone who wants to come to Portland), clear your calendars! September 7-11 is Music Fest NorthWest, and it looks incredible this year. Aside from the amazing headliners like Band of Horses and Iron and Wine, MFNW has something for everyone from Portland’s diverse assortment of amazing music. Read on to check out the
