  1. Tame Impala and The Amazing Dazzle The El Rey Tame Impala may be one of the most buzzworthy new bands of 2012. After releasing its lauded sophomore release, Lonerism, in October, the Australian quintet embarked on a sold-out North American tour and on Friday night, the iconic El Rey...
  2. Album Review: Tame Impala, Lonerism A breathy, rhythmic voice starts chanting, “I gotta be above it” with chugging drums following suit. Vocals introduce the melody; sounding like a life-changing revelation has just taken place. Grandiose synths interject, creating the feeling of lifting off into the...
  3. Artist of the Week: Of Monsters and Men Over the past few months, we’ve touted Icelanic indie/folk rockers Of Monsters of Men as one of our favorite new bands of 2012. So far, it looks like the band has not only heeded, but exceed the hype that’s come...

  1. A Sweaty Heavy Jam with JEFF the Brotherhood at Death by Audio JEFF the Brotherhood packed the sweaty punkers into Death by Audio to full capacity last night, where hell broke loose in the most reverb- and beer-soaked way. Right when the band played the first note, there was a clear and...
  2. Album Review: Fun. – Some Nights   The boys of fun.–lead singer/songwriter Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff, and Andrew Dost–are back with their second studio album,  Some Nights, which drops today.  As a long time Nate Ruess fan, from his Format days, I feel qualified and obligated...
  3. Album Review: Howlin’ Rain – The Russian Wilds Mountain. Led Zeppelin. AC/DC. These are bands that made us aware that the guitar can be the centerpiece of a band. Sure, the lead singer is vital to a band’s survival, but there’s something special about a band that is...

  2. Trenchtown Rock Comes to The South Bay Usually when bands move out west, it is for hopes of fortune and fame. But for Hermosa Beach-via-North Adams, Mich., outfit Trenchtown, they merely enjoyed the weather more than back home. “It took us a while (a span of over...
