  2. Album Review: CORY BRANAN, Mutt Cory Branan has been a household name in my family for the past several years and, with his newest album release MUTT out May 22nd on Bloodshot Records, I have never been as proud to call myself a fan. I...
  3. Cory Chisel Rocks The Empty Bottle After Conquering Chicago During The Day Chicago in the summer is easily my favorite place to be, not only because we get a nice break from usual all around crappy weather, but also because of our street fests that take place seemingly every weekend.

  1. The Bloody Beetroots Unveil New Act at the House of Blues, San Diego What do you get when you combine the musical discipline of a classically trained composer with the black-leather-wearing, chain-smoking sensibilities of a hardcore punk rocker, and then hand him some DJ equipment and synthesizers just for kicks? What you get...
  2. Live Review: Yawn impresses at The Empty Bottle in Chicago I’m a huge believer that the crowd is a main factor in live shows, however on certain special nights in certain venues bands can help bring you into their bubble where the sound is the only thing encompassing you. That...
  3. The Young Evils Give The Hotel Cafe A Taste of Seattle When we last checked in with Seattle’s The Young Evils, we were in rainy Wisconsin for PJ20 and they were opening for bands like Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age, The Strokes, Liam Finn, Joseph Arthur and others.  At...

  2. Slang Chickens’ Monday night residency at The Echo: A must-hear for all Slang Chickens is the kind of band that makes you want to start a band.
