What inspired the creation of this single?   Well, this song has been kicking around since the start of the band, it was one of the original early songs in our original line up. I really liked the lyrics, and they showed up really easily. I had the harmonies, and the structure pretty much dialed immediately. If memory serves, this song showed up with the riff and the title for some reason, so I wrote it based on the title.

On Saturday June 7, 2025, the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom welcomed Kurt Deimer Band and Tesla. The sold-out show in NH was terrific. Almost two thousand fans were present to see the two exceptional bands performing live on stage at the Beach Casino. The two bands played to a fired-up crowd bringing their full energy of rock music to the stage.

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album?   The idea behind The Imperfectionist grew out of a kind of joyful rebellion — a refusal to chase perfection in a world obsessed with it. As a band, we’re more interested in honesty, in character, in the stories that come out of the cracks.   The album explores themes like tolerance, solidarity, absurdity, ageing, and the awkward beauty of being human. Musically, it jumps between genres — swing, Afrobeat, folk, cumbia,

The City of Brotherly Love is alive and well, filled with a warm energy as I stand at the corner of Chestnut and 11th Ave. The popular two-story music venue and bar, Milkboy, is illuminated in red lights as the after-work crowd begins to trickle in. Milkboy is a staple in the Philly music scene, garnering talent from near and far, and tonight its stage is set. On the second level, fans stake their claim at the front of the stage for the show. The talented Red Leather is headl

June 6, 2000, twenty-five years ago the trio of music men known as Rascal Flatts released their self-titled debut album. Fast forward 25 years and over 40 major music awards later. The band is back together and collecting guest members for each track of their latest album. It had been 8 years since their last studio album. The joining forces have dropped a REFUELED album.

What first got you into music? I remember being about five or six years old when my family took a trip to Daytona Beach, Florida. One evening, while we were having dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, my grandpa got up to sing karaoke. He chose What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Watching him perform was unforgettable — he looked so joyful, and his energy lit up the entire room. In that moment, I realized I wanted to do the same: bring happiness to others through music

What first got you into music? Being born?   Seriously, as far back as I can remember, I was just absolutely obsessed with music. And by the look of the old family movies my parents still have, I was into music before my memories even began.   There’s a video of me runnin’ circles around a little inflatable kiddie pool in the back yard when I was about two with a little white plastic guitar, and I was making up songs. I guess you could say my first original song lyric

On May 31, Mayday Parade brought their Three Cheers for 20 Years tour to The Fillmore Philadelphia, and they did not disappoint. The night opened with strong sets from Like Roses, Microwave, and hometown favorites Grayscale.

On June 30, 2025, The Met in Pawtucket, RI, welcomed Babylon A.D. It was a fun night of music. The majority of fans wearing black pants and black T-shirts with the logo of both bands were singing, dancing, and jumping around the room. Some of them stood in front of the stage enjoying the music. 

What inspired the creation of this single? "Hide Away" for some reason has a power to orient us as a band. We usually start our rehearsals with it. It’s a rock for us. What story or message does the song convey? Too often the art of living is traded away for a smaller personal narrative of sadness and disappointments. It sounds dreary when you say it like that. But that’s the idea behind it. It’s probably better if you just listen to the song.

When I first sat down to review Love and a .38's new single "Revelation" the plan was to do one listen and just give a hot take first impression. I wanted to give just a raw unfiltered take but then something strange happened. Something that musically doesn't happen to me often. I was at a total loss of words.

Earlier this month Eric Church released a new album ‘Evangeline vs. Machine’. Church has been working hard in and out of the Studio. During

You have been waiting for fresh Styx material since 2021 with unbroken patience, and— at long last— you've finally got it. On May 28th, the

The evening started with Benjamin Carter, who brought an intimate, stripped-back energy to the stage. His performance was filled with vulnerability, as his soulful vocals and honest lyrics set a mood that captivated the audience. Though unfamiliar with his music prior to the show, I found myself completely absorbed in his set and grateful that I get to say I saw him on his first tour! Keep an eye on this rising star—his journey is just beginning.

On May 24, 2025, MGM Music Hall in Fenway, MA, welcomed Empire of the Sun. The Australian electronic music duo formed in 2007 by Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore has started a 2025 headlining US tour in support of their latest album “Ask That God.” Kicking off on February 26th in Honolulu with stops in Chicago, Las Vegas, Austin, Atlanta, and Brooklyn, the tour ended in Boston on May 24th.

What inspired the creation of this single?   My beautiful wife and the life we’ve made together. We’ve been together 22 years and have two wonderful kids. The story is plain and simple.    

On May 21, 2025, The Brighton Music Hall welcomed Paradise Lost, an English gothic metal band. Formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 1988, Paradise Lost are considered to be among the pioneers of the death-doom genre and regarded as the main influence for the later gothic metal movement.

Alice Cooper poisoned the Emen’s Auditorium stage on May 15, 2025, in Muncie, Indiana with his horrifyingly pleasing theatrical rock show. Known for his incredibly visually pleasing shows, Alice and his band annihilated the stage with a setlist that captivated the young, the old and the in between. There was a plethora of die-hard fans in the audience rockin’ their best Alice Cooper cosplay.  The energy was high, the vibes were electrifying. 

On May 19th, 2025, The Rasmus brought their Weirdo Tour to Montreal’s Studio TD. As one of the last stops on the North American leg of their 2025 world tour, named after the band’s upcoming album, the show was well-rehearsed but still felt authentic. It had been a long while since the Canadian metropolis had last welcomed the Finnish band into one of its venues, so the reunion felt electric. A perfect Monday night to end the three-day weekend in Canada.

In a move surprising their fans, Falling In Reverse dropped their first new single (and a video to go along with it) since concluding the Popular Monster cycle. “God Is A Weapon” is a moody, cinematic piece whose beginning is reminiscent of Marilyn Manson’s cover of the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”.

In a time where technology has fundamentally changed how we as a society do things like shop and find new music, it makes sense that bands would take to social media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok to get the word out about their projects. Sleep Theory was no exception. They quickly became Sirius XM Octane darlings with their debut singles “Numb” and “Another Way”, climbed up the Active Rock radio charts, impressed Zach Myers and Brent Smith of Shinedown enough for them
