Concert Review: Hounds of the Underground Tour: If Not For Me, Windwaker, and Colorblind at The Filmore, St. Paul, MN
Who let the dogs out?! Because the Hounds of the Underground Tour with If Not For Me, Windwaker, and Colorblind came through to St. Paul, Minnesota on 5/16/2026. I
can’t think of a better name for this tour, because each of these bands have been
making themselves known, and are more of the… lets say, underDOG’S, in the scene right now? Get it? Okay, no more dog puns, I had to.

Concert Review: Avatar at The Dome at Oakdale Theater, Wallingford, CT
It was my first experience seeing this masterpiece from Sweden known as Avatar and it was awe-inspiring. For a warm and rainy Tuesday night show the venue was packed with fans of all ages itching at the chance to witness this gathering. From a full parking lot and a line that seemed to go on for ages, there was a feeling that the evening was going to be full of pure bliss.

Music Review: Marmozets Release CO.WAR.DICE
After bursting onto the rock scene in 2014 with their debut album “The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets” followed by their acclaimed sophomore project, “Knowing What You Know Now”, the Marmozets all but vanished from the music world. Eight years later, after COVID, finding regular jobs, marriage, and becoming parents, the Bingley based alt-rock group is set to unleash their long awaited new album, “Co.War.Dice”, on May 22, 2026.

Concert Review: Oteil & Friends at The Royale in Boston, MA
The Royale, a nightclub on Tremont Street in Boston, MA, welcomed Oteil & Friends—headed by Oteil Burbridge—on May 17, 2026. The sold-out show was exceptional, and a man sitting next to me remarked that this was an extraordinary group of musicians playing unique jams, and that we were all so lucky to hear it. I completely agreed.

Music Review: Knifetwister Records’ Not in Our City 2, A Punk Rock Compilation to Benefit Immigrant Rights
I just got done listening to Not in Our City 2. This was right up my alley. I have always been a fan of compilations. Growing up, I always looked forward to Punk-O-Rama, Punk Goes…, and the numerous Fat Wreck Chords compilations, just to name a few. It’s something I feel like we are robbed of as we’ve moved into this digital era of music. Sure, we get curated Spotify playlists, but it’s just not quite the same. To me, a compilation goes beyond artists who are similar.

Concert Review: In Flames with Thrown and Distant at the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis, IN
Opening the show was the Deathcore outfit from the Netherlands. The energy was high from the get-go as they pummeled the crowd with bone shaking breakdowns, juicy riffs, and brutal vocals. No time was wasted to open the bit as even I found myself tucking the camera and getting my two step on as the moshers made their presence known. A very good display from Distant as I’m certain many new fans were made that night including me.

Concert Review: Pure Chaos and Broken Ankles: 156/Silence and Fox Lake Tear Down Montage Music Hall
"156/Silence," "Fox Lake," and "Quantifier's" sold-out show at Montage Music Hall was a show that you just had to be at. It was pure chaos fueled with adrenaline, mosh pits, crowd surfers, and walls of death. In a club venue that I have been going to for years, this was one of, if not the craziest crowd I was a part of.

Concert Review: Dayseeker with Sace6, Wind Walkers and Northlane at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO
Dayseeker recently kicked off “The Pale Moonlight Tour”, a sold-out tour which included a stop in St. Louis, MO. VIP sold out quickly, with general admission selling out days after. That should be enough to prove what a great band they are. The tour featured three openers.

fan favorites like “Pittsburgh” and “Soak Me in B

Concert Review: Country Thunder Florida 2026 Festival
There’s something surreal about hearing thousands of people sing country songs steps away from the water as the Florida sunset spills across the skyline - and somehow, Country Thunder Florida 2026 made it feel effortless.

Concert Review: Failure at Le Poisson Rouge, Manhattan, NY
he first thing you notice when walking to Le Poisson Rouge, the 700-cap club in Manhattan’s East Village, is the age range in the massive line wrapped around the block. It’s not uncommon to see bands within the 90s alternative rock circuits attracting massive legions of fans that weren’t around during their commercial comeups (with bands like Deftones, Slowdive, and Duster to name just a handful), but it’s rare to see them pack out clubs instead of stadiums.

Concert Review: Sing Us Home Festival in Manayunk, PA
The 2026 Sing Us Home Festival in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia was a huge success! The family friendly festival brought out people of all ages, with so much more than music. The food and drinks were delicious, there were so many activities like tattoos, haircuts, festival braids, and local small artists selling their work, as well as info booths like, Punk Rock Saves Lives and Planned Parenthood.

Concert Review: Silversun Pickups and Giant Waste of Man at XL Live in Harrisburg, PA
In an era where we pay monthly subscriptions to have the same bands and songs fed to us on repeat, true musical discovery feels like a lost art. Even streaming algorithms, designed for "discovery," often feel catered and repetitive, making it increasingly difficult to find new sounds from smaller, independent acts.

Concert Review: Searows at Webster Hall, NY
The silence in between Searows’ songs feels like an expansion of the atmosphere, not an inhibitor. In the place of traditional ambient tones and excruciating stage banter in between songs, Alec Duckart, the artist known as Searows, tunes his guitar, keeping the dialogue to a minimum. Occasionally, he will thank the audience for coming, tell everyone to let their imagination run wild, or give a cheeky hint towards the last song being “the very last song, with no more after thi
