I’ve seen a lot of incredible vocalists over the years, but after seeing Spiritbox and Evanescence together, I’m still thinking about just how unreal the night was. Spiritbox came out ready to go from the first song. Courtney LaPlante somehow makes the impossible look effortless, switching from beautiful melodies to brutal screams. The entire band is full of pure talent and the energy coming off the stage kept building with every song.

Interview with vocalist Mark MacDonald of Last Second Dropout. What first got you into music? My parents got me into guitar lessons when I lived in New Jersey as a kid, but I didn’t connect with the material my teacher was giving me, although he gave me a great foundation of hard skills. It wasn’t until I moved back to Canada and started with a new teacher who asked me for the first time, “What do you want to learn?” I had never been asked that and didn’t even kn

No Fun in Troy, NY is a cool, funky little live music bar in the winding streets of the downtown River Street area of that Upstate New York city. In recent years, this neighborhood has gotten a bit of a hipster “mini-Brooklyn of the north” vibe, and this venue adds to that vibe. No Fun is a small, grungy joint, but keeps a great, eclectic live music schedule, an imaginative beer selection, and o

Snoop Dogg headlined the grand opening of the F&M Bank Amphitheater on June 6, 2026, and the whole night felt less like a tour stop than a reunion the city had been waiting on for years.

By the time Mayor Rex Richardson walked out to hand

Were there any particular events or emotions that shaped the songwriting? Definitely. One of my biggest criticisms of my lyrics have always been a lack of specificity. With everything happening in the world, I definitely wanted to speak to that with some clarity. Songs like Sanctuary Cities and The Reckoning are direct indictments of what is happening in America right now with the grotesque hypocrisy of "Christians" vilifying refugees in spite of the notion that their alle

Some gigs are all about spectacle. Towering stage productions, blinding lights and walls of amplifiers. Others strip everything back and remind you that great songs don't need any of that. Lzzy and Joe's opening night of their UK unplugged tour at Glasgow's Garage was exactly that – an intimate evening built on incredible musicianship, storytelling and the unmistakable connection they've built with their fans over the years.
