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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Courtney Barnett’s 5th stop of her tour brought her to The Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently on her Creature of Habit tour through North America. Creature of Habit is Courtney’s fifth album and her first since 2021. Along on the ride is singer Truman Sinclair. Sinclair, also a member of the emo/indie rock band Frat Mouse, has released an album titled “American Recordings” last year and, after signing with Capitol Records, is set to release his next album in the fall o

On April 30, 2026, Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, Massachusetts, welcomed Marc Roberge of O.A.R., joined by Brian “Hitch” Hitchings and Aldous Collins, for a sold-out charity concert in support of Plymouth Bay House. Located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Plymouth Bay House has served the South Shore community for over 36 years, providing support for individuals with mental health conditions. The organization offers vocational and educational resources, affordable meals, and

Prince Daddy & The Hyena kicked off their tour for the new album "Hotwire Trip Switch" on 5/3 in their hometown of Albany, NY at Empire Underground. The night kicked off with hardcore band Restraining Order from Western Massachusetts/Connecticut. Their aggressive, no-frills set immediately set the tone for the evening.

If your concert doesn’t include badass women in rock and metal, fake blood, a mosh pit stuffed animal heist, and trading cards being launched into a crowd of screaming fans…what are you even doing? Vana’s stop at the Fine Line in Minneapolis, MN for her first ever headline tour definitely checked all those boxes. With supporting acts Redhook, Deadlands, and Chandler Leighton, it was truly one of my personal favorite concerts I have attended this year.

The Cabot Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts welcomed Pink Talking Fish on May 2, 2026. The hybrid tribute band seamlessly melds together the sounds of three of the world’s most beloved bands—Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish. It was an excellent show in a stunning venue. The incredible ambiance added to the nearly sold-out show at the Cabot.

Treaty Oak Revival isn’t just another country-rock band. They’re leaders of what I’d call punk country. Energy on max. From the first note, it was time to rage. Sam welcomed us into the ranks of the Degenerates—a badge I wear proudly. He spoke about their roots, the Crystal Ballroom, WheatStock Festival, and never forgetting where they came from. By the time “Boomtown” hit, the place erupted—beer flying, bodies moving, chaos everywhere, like a 90s Warped Tour with cowboy

Arm’s Length brought it’s “There’s A Whole World… Tour” to The Underground Charlotte on April 29th, delivering a night that felt as raw as it was cathartic. The night opened with a strong supporting lineup that set the tone early. Super Sometimes kicked things off with an upbeat, melodic set that eased the crowd into the night…they really caught my attention when I heard their spot on cover of Everytime I look for you (Blink 182). While Harrison Gordon followed with a mor

After many years of anticipation, The German Metalcore/EDM powerhouse have finally brought their incredible show to American Arenas, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The vibes are never better than the dance floor of an Electric Callboy show. I’ve never seen a metal concert where the entire floor is jumping and dancing for the entire show! Seeing hundreds of fans dressed in their favorite Electric Callboy music video costumes has to be one of the coolest elements that their f

Stepping into XL Live for The Happy Fits’ Lovesick tour, I’ll admit I was carrying a bit of weight. Between the technical anxiety of navigating a new venue’s lighting and the "first-timer" nerves of seeing a band I’d never caught live; I wasn't sure what to expect. However, the atmosphere was immediate. The crowd wasn’t just a collection of ticket holders; they were a community. By the time Calvin Langman, Luke Davis, Nico Rose, and Raina Mullen took the stage, any lingering
