With easily justified comparisons to the likes of early Thirty Seconds to Mars, flavors of Depeche Mode, and a wonderfully prominent influence of The Cure thrown into the mix, The Anix’s own brand of ethereal electronic rock has always seemed a project ultimately finding itself in slightly older roots stylistically. Sure, frontman and sole member […]
It’s perhaps too easy to forget that taking steps in the right direction isn’t always the simplest task. There’s a shrewd shred of self-awareness in that knowledge: the realization that maybe it just isn’t going the way you had in mind. Maybe it isn’t going to be okay. But it’s also easy to forget that […]
Alice In Chains’ sixth album is a purposeful nod to their North West roots. Not only is it the first time that the band have created a full length record in their home town of Seattle since 1995’s self-titled release, it was recorded in the same studio – Formerly Bad Animals Studio, now Studio X.

Slightly Stoopid have officially announced that “School’s Out For Summer” by kicking off a tour celebrating the release of their latest album “Everyday Life, Everyday People.” For this year’s tour, they’ve brought along two very special guests, Stick Figure and Pepper.

Many lyrics speak about being in dazzling or beautiful places, seeing interesting things and […]
If there ever was a more appropriate description for the music of Bret Autrey’s Blue Stahli, it would have to be the easiest: fun. In endlessly toying with genres and always offering something new and improved over the last, the music of Blue Stahli roots itself deeply in simply wanting to make you feel the […]
Isaac Delusion Rust and Gold is the perfect album for anyone that likes a wide range of genres. Categorization of their music is impossible because each song masterfully uses different musical styles and techniques from throughout the music world. Despite this intense eclecticism, the album is extremely well done and flows easily. Each song was […]
If the definition of insanity is “doing something over and over again and expecting a different result”, then musically you need look little further than the career of Bullet For My Valentine.
