Lineup Announcement: All Points West Music & Arts Festival
Despite its name, the All Points West Music & Arts Festival is actually held on the East Coast and is sometimes referred to as “Coachella East,” which actually makes more sense, but whatever.
If you were looking for an excuse to spend your summer vacation in New Jersey, well then the All Points West Festival is [...]
Mile High Music Festival 2009 Lineup Announced
Held on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado, the Mile High Music Festival is one more music festival to add to your datebook for 2009.
The lineup for this year’s MHMF is nothing if not eclectic. Tool headline on Saturday, The Fray are in charge of holding Sunday down, and Widespread Panic are on back-up duty [...]
Toadies and Smile Smile SUPER GROUP… Sort Of
To help with the drum tracks on their newest album, Truth On Tape, Smile Smile recruited Toadies drummer, Mark Reznicek, and a case of Miller Light. Needless to say, magic was made.

»Album Reviews For Release Date: 03.31.09
by Joshua Krage
A slightly hipster buddy of mine recently told me he never got into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs because he was put off by “Maps,” saying it was too repetitive and annoying. I honestly didn’t know what to tell him; they’re one of the most creative and stylistic bands [...]
Why, Hello There, Hellogoodbye
Hellogoodbye have been under the radar lately. This doesn’t mean that they’re not up to anything.
I think the last time I really remember seeing them was on The Real World—and that was a while back. But, much to my surprise, they released a brand new EP called Ukulele Recordings.
In case you wanted to hear a [...]
Let Live and Let Ghosts, Jukebox the Ghost
If you decided to up your dose of Zoloft this week, I recommend that you hold out and try this alternate treatment. Just hit “play,” then hit “repeat,” and enjoy Let Live and Let Ghosts by Jukebox the Ghost.
New Material: Ed Harcourt, Russian Roulette
It’s been nearly three years since Ed Harcourt has released any new material. If you’re an Ed Harcourt fan, this is something you’re painfully aware of. But on May 5th, Ed will release Russian Roulette, a six-track EP filled with just as much emotion as any full-length album, and Ed Harcourt fans everywhere will rejoice.

Motion City Soundtrack Are Still In Motion
Where have they been? I think I heard them on Gossip Girl, right?
So, that means they’re still alive?
Yes. Calm down.
Motion City Soundtrack are still very much in motion. Working at a steady pace since 1997, their last album, Even if it Kills Me, was a huge success—and even a huger (yes…it is a word) success [...]
Don’t Be Scared Of the Radio…Tune Into It: Fearless Radio
Who said the Internet was for your parents? No one, really…I just made that up.
From Tyler Hilton’s “When it Comes” to Janus’ “Eyesore,” Fearless Radio gives you a wide (and I mean very fucking wide) range of music. I was streaming the station via iTunes when I heard Hilton’s post-pubescent voice evolve into something fierce [...]
Dave Smallen Doesn’t Let Us Down
I have that bittersweet feeling right now. I just read that Dave Smallen won’t be releasing the album that I’ve been anticipating. Usually, I would go into manic state of irrational decisions. This is coming from the kid who once threatened to burn down a bookstore when the clerk told him that the publisher might [...]
