On March 1, 2026, Briscoe’s national tour stopped at the Sinclair Music Hall, a beautiful music venue located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Austin-based band formed by Truett Heintzelman and Philip Lupton was terrific from the beginning to the end. Several hundred fans attended the event to celebrate the band, making it an exceptional evening of live music.

Social Distortion released its first new music in 15 years. “Bork to Kill” the lead single off of the new album also called Born to Kill slated to be released on May 8th, 2026. At times it seemed like this song and album were never going to be officially released. Born to Kill is actually a song the band has played live going back as early as 2018, but it was well worth the wait to have it officially released.

PINKNOISE, the genre-bending hard rock band lead by singer Kasey Foxx has caught the attention of many on streaming platforms and social media.  With the core mission behind their genre-bending musical project being about telling their story as authentically as possible, the mission has already been a success.  I predict PINKNOISE will blow up with a quickness. With immensely relatable lyrics and the purest of voices that can transition from comforting melodic tones to face-m

Boy George and the Culture Club brought the 1980s, nightclub party to the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA. I couldn't of been happier to cover this concert. I grew up in the 1980's my core memories start just as MTV hit the airwaves. I have fond memories of seeing the Culture Club's video's and watching Boy George strut his authentic self. The videos were always filled with so much color and dancing, they had a feeling of freedom that I recognized even as a young

If you stand on the southeast edge of the Myrtle Broadway stop on the J and M train, you can see a light coming from the corner window of a building. That light emanates from the back of the stage of Market Hotel, a DIY music venue that has been in operation since the early 2000s, providing a stage for the best the New York music scene and beyond has to offer. While the space has recently become home for more techno events and themed DJ sets, they still house incredible lineu

On February 27th, Aaron Lewis brought his Stateliners to the pews of Ryman Auditorium, transforming the Church into something between a honky-tonk revival and a political rally.  If you bought a ticket, you likely knew the assignment. This is Lewis’ alt country chapter, far removed from the angst-soaked roar of Staind. What you may not have anticipated was just how completely the evening would prioritize ideology before melody.

Interview with Jennifer Foster. New Single "Shy" out Friday February 27, 2026.     What inspired the creation of this single?   This single is part of an album ("Powerline") that’s deeply personal and inspired by the place I grew up. It’s an expression of love and regret, and how we can sometimes wish we could show up for others, or ourselves, in a better way. It’s about hoping for another chance to get it right.

At The Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas, 1VERSE did not simply perform. They expanded. This was not a return. This was a beginning. And beginnings are dangerous in the best way.    Under the creative leadership of CEO Michelle Cho and A&R visionary Joseph Lim, 1VERSE stepped onto an American stage not as a test run, but as a fully realized statement of intent. From the first note, it was clear this was not a group chasing noise. They are building architecture.

Foxy Shazam at Eastside Bowl on February 21st felt like a fever dream. Walking in with MoonDough and Descartes a Kant on the bill, it was obvious this had the potential to tip into too much sideshow and not enough circus. Too much flash, not enough foundation.  Instead, what unfolded was a masterclass in how spectacle and musicianship can collide without canceling each other out.
