Daniel Kohn
Ever since he first heard the opening chords to "Smells Like Teen Spirit," at the age of 11, Daniel Kohn has been hooked on music. Born in New York City, raised in the music hotbed of Long Island and currently residing in Los Angeles, Kohn has been writing since high school, when he realized he could get CDs for free. He's a sucker for '90s music, especially that from Seattle. Like a small minority of Americans, he likes football of the European variety, especially Liverpool. When he's not chasing down bands, you can find him at your local pub with a pint of Carlsberg, usually at ungodly hours cheering on his beloved Reds.

There’s something pure about seeing a three-piece band rock like they’re playing in their garage or rehearsal. Yes, many of the big outfits over the years have been quartets, but that doesn’t take away from the stripped down simplicity of a three-piece. Last week at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, RNDM, a trio hailing from all over, but for t...

The varying equation of determining what is a best new band, a rising band or a potential star is often a complex one. But above anything else, the one prerequisite that’s more important than anything else is that band needs to be great and have its brighter days ahead of them. That’s certainly in the case for Canadian indie/post-punk rockers Bor...
One of the freshest sounding new bands to emerge from Los Angeles in the past handful of years is Fitz and The Tantrums. Though they’ve been pigeonholed as a neo-soul ensemble, there’s much more to them than this. For starters, they’re dynamic entertainers with an incredible, high-energy live show. Having seen them last year open for Ben Harper a...
