A night of nonstop energy took over Delmar Hall as Bailey Spinn, Wargasm, and Scene Queen delivered unforgettable performances in St. Louis. From Spinn's heartfelt connection with fans to Wargasm's explosive stage presence and Scene Queen's signature "bimbocore" spectacle, the evening showcased three unique artists who kept the crowd engaged, singing, dancing, and celebrating from start to finish.

Utah alt-rock duo Homestyle Dinner Rolls made their Philadelphia debut at Kung Fu Necktie with a performance packed with humor, political commentary, crowd participation, and every song from their debut album, Worthless Highs. From spontaneous sea shanties to mosh pits and emo anthems, the night proved why the band's growing fanbase continues to spread across the country.

On September 19, 2026, I visited the State Theatre in Portland, Maine, to see The Machine perform. As a devoted Pink Floyd fan, I've heard several tribute bands interpret the legendary group's music, but The Machine stands apart for its faithful renditions of iconic songs, atmospheric soundscapes, and arrangements that capture everything that made Pink Floyd one of rock's most influential bands.

On September 18, 2026, Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) performed at the historic Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. It was an incredible night of music, with thousands of fans enjoying the concert. The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, which originally opened in the late 1920's, was the perfect venue for this show.

Dermot Kennedy's performance at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway was a powerful reminder of just how far he's come. Before selling out the venue, Kennedy spent time busking on the streets of Boston, often met with hesitation from passersby. Now, the city welcomes him back with open arms, and there is no denying the power of his live performance or his ability to captivate every person in the room.

I vividly remember the first time I heard The Mars Volta in 2003 (maybe 2004). My immediate reaction was, “What the hell did I just listen to?” It took me a few listens to fully understand the sonic complexity. Fast-forward 23 years, and they still bring that same raw intensity to every show they play.

Some bands are names you hear mentioned a few times before you finally get the chance to see them for yourself. Wailing Banshee were one of those bands for me. I’d heard of the Manchester outfit and had heard plenty about their live shows, but until Thursday night at Nice n Sleazy in Glasgow, I’d never actually seen them perform.

There are some bands where the music is only half of the experience. Rammstein are definitely one of them. The huge industrial sound, dark humour, flames, explosions and completely over-the-top stage shows are all part of what makes seeing them live such an experience. But what happens when you take all of that and put it into a much smaller Glasgow venue? Well, Mörderstein have the answer.

Club Dada isn't built for quiet music. It's a bar-and-stage room in Deep Ellum with concrete floors and a sound system tuned for bands that lean into volume, not away from it. Love Spells has built his sound on restraint: hushed vocals, dream pop textures, songs that feel like someone talking to you up close. That contrast should have been a problem. It wasn't, and it didn't stop the show from selling out.

Alemeda opened the night with an energetic performance that the fans loved, immediately establishing her presence on The Pageant stage. Her music switched between alternative driven songs to more soulful ballads.
