Brooklyn Bowl Nashville was already rumbling on Wednesday, November 12th before the lights dropped. The place was packed shoulder to shoulder, the lanes forgotten and the bar drowned out by the roar of a crowd that showed up ready to blow the roof off the building.

What inspired the creation of this single? At 14 years old, skateboard under combat boots and bass guitar in case along for the ride. Clark is in front of me trying his best to get a good power slide going, his blond locks flowing like a flock of seagulls. Through Bannerman Park, on way to Bannerman Street, where the row houses of downtown St. John’s (Newfoundland) begin. This is where our good friend Johnny Fisher lives in a sweltering second story bedroom with a cassette b

His debut album "Wake Up the World" (2010) included "Revolution", "Riding on the Clouds", "Original Love", and "Slipped Away", with appearances from Shaggy and roots rocker L

A "one-man show" is how I describe Colin Hay's solo show at the Chevalier Theatre on Thursday November 6, 2025. The performance was marvelous. It was a combination of Colin's tunes and his stories which were really fun. "Reborn as a one-man show, Hay found that when he told audiences about his life, "People leaned in a bit closer."

Nearly two decades into their career, The Devil Wears Prada continue to defy expectations. They have never been afraid to evolve, but “Flowers” feels like a full bloom. This album is a reflection on where they’ve been and where they are heading. It’s heavy, heartfelt, dark, beautiful, and a reminder that even the darkest bands can still find light in bloom. 

When Ben Quad released their debut, "I’m Scared That’s All There Is," in 2022, it captured a raw glimpse of uncertainty and youthful anxiety. With “WISHER,” out this Friday through Pure Noise Records, the Oklahoma-based band shifts the lens: the same emotional intensity becomes tempered by reflection, growth, and an underlying optimism. This 10-track album has it all: raw energy, sing-alongs, moments of reflection, angst, and incredible instrumentation.

While most discover the ego in an introductory psychology class, Hayley Williams has known hers needed to die since she was fifteen years old, signing a twenty-year contract with a record label that would keep her in close musical confinement until she was thirty-five years old. In her time as the lead singer of Paramore, she’s experienced an entire lifetime. Ego Death At a Bachelorette Party is her first EP following the conclusion of her contract with Atlantic Records,

Dream Theater brought their A-game to the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island last October 25 and as their last leg in the US Tour. As the only photographer that night, I had a front-row seat to the epic performance. The band tore through a blistering setlist, showcasing their incredible musicianship and precision. From the opening notes of "The Enemy Inside" to the epic closer "Scarred," the crowd was entranced.

The new band 84 Days was founded by Randy Bradbury, the bassist for the legendary punk band Pennywise. What intrigued me about 84 Days is th

Pinknoise returns with a ferocious new single, “TALK TALK.” This song is pure raw emotion at its finest. It’s heavy, unapologetic, and angry, but within that chaos, it’s pure and beautiful.   The introduction of "TALK TALK" begins with a dark synth electronic vibe; either way, it immediately captured my attention. Then you hear Kacey Foxx enter in with the lyrics "your lips are moving, but nothing's making sense," followed by a raw scream and a powerful beat that will make y

On October 24, 2025, Mammoth, formerly Mammoth WVH until a recent copyright change was granted, released their third album in four years. The solo project of Grammy nominated Wolfgang Van Halen is a fun mix of tongue in cheek lyrics, late 90’s inspired guitars, and gratitude for the opportunities available to the talented multi-instrumentalist.

Mudvayne is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their iconic debut album, L.D. 50, which was released in 2000. The tour, featuring opening performances by Vended and Static-X, recently made its 28th stop at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey last October 24, 2025. As a die-hard fan of Mudvayne, with one of my favorite bass players, Ryan Martinie, I don’t want to miss this show again, as I missed their performance in my city at Jones Beach Theater last year.

The weather is starting to change as I make my way up the stairs of the L subway stop at Jefferson Street in Brooklyn, New York.  I stroll around the corner to find fans lining up at the Sultan Room to catch the exciting return of Moving Mountains.  Tonight is a particularly special one, as it's Moving Mountains' first weekend of shows since performing together 8 years ago.  Brooklyn is the second stop of a three-night show run that began in Philadelphia and will conclude in 

Singer-songwriter, Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois (folk-rock, southern-rock, pop, americana) released his 10th studio project Vol 1: Letting Go on October 24th, 2025.  This album, he says, has been a creative outlet, branching out from his normal sound.  He set out to not care so much about what anyone thinks (aside from his wife, Kaetlyn).  “I didn’t set out to write a concept album about ‘letting go’, but it just became obvious that’s what this EP is about,” Dan sh

On October 30, 2025 - Post-hardcore band; FieldHockey released the official music video for their recent single " Mazes " and the band actually had the video created in a maze. The video can be the perfect visual representation of someone having a very chaotic mind that is constantly looking for a way out, but it can also be interpreted as someone who doesn't want to take accountability for their actions and they are always looking for an easy way out. With the band being po

The sun is beginning to set as a crisp breeze moves over the streets of Manhattan.  I make my way to Delancey Street on the Lower East Side through the hustle and bustle of the evening crowd.  Nestled in between a sea of buildings, I found myself outside of the iconic Bowery Ballroom. A building that has become synonymous with the NYC music scene and one filled with a rich historical past.  Tonight the line stretches well beyond the entrance, making its way down and around th
