  1. 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. Album Review: Meiko, The Bright Side Over the past few months, we’ve been writing a lot about Meiko, and deservedly so. Though her debut album was released in 2007, she’s still a relatively new artist being that this is only her second release. After reviewing her...
  3. Album Review: Trampled By Turtles, Stars and Satellites I’ve recently heard a lot of buzz about a new band, but I hear buzz about a lot of bands. One of the reasons I ignored the buzz on this particular band was because of their name, Trampled by Turtles....

We all go for the headliners, but we feel like we discover the opening acts. With a few exceptions, Bruce Springsteen doesn’t have an opening act and frankly he doesn’t need one.  The Rolling Stones had U2 open for them,

When it was largely feared by the masses, when reeling guitars caused echoing screams, and lead singers shook and convulsed on stage like madmen, scaring but captivating mindblown audiences?  Before bands like Linkin Park turned everyone around you into a Hot-Topic-frequenting idiot

  2. BNBTV Spotlight: Applespacebar, “Simplify” BestNewBands.com With so much synth and experimental action gracing the alternative music scene recently, I relax a little to listen to a classic guitar-driven alternative rock band such as the oh-so-ironically-titled Applespacebar.  With sounds reminiscent of Jimmy Eat World and...
