Wednesday April 29th was a cool rainy Austin, TX afternoon, but the heat was inside Emo’s Austin that evening. The Bloodywood: System of the Brown tour is in town, and 4 uniquely different metal bands are set to take the stage. It was a night of metal from around the world (ANKOR - Spain, Ladrones - Mexico, The Pretty Wild - Las Vegas, & Bloodywood - India).

Today I got the honor of discovering and reviewing a new band NorthFork and their new single "I'll Be Fine". Hailing from Tuolumne, California NorthFork has an interesting sound reminding me of much of the early 2000's rock with a hint of the sound you frequently find in modern country rock. Think if Seether was contracted to be the supporting band for Hardy.

Sepultura embarked on their final North American tour, "Celebrating Life Through Death" with support from the legendary Exodus, as well as Brooklyn's very own Biohazard and Tribal Gaze from Texas. The Wellmont Theater was pretty well packed for a Wednesday night as this was the first night of there farewell tour, and many we're not gonna miss the chance to catch the mighty Sepultura crush New Jersey one last time, especially with the stacked lineup of openers.

On April 24th 2026, I walked into one of my favourite Vancouver venues, the Rickshaw Theatre, eagerly anticipating what I already knew was going to be an unforgettable night. Cattle Decapitation’s music and I go way back. When I say I have been listening to them for half my life, there is no exaggeration there.

Nonpoint hit up Club LA in Destin, FL on Sunday, April 26th, 2026 with SOiL and Sumo Cyco. Upon arrival, the line was already forming down the side of the building. Fans stood outside ready with anticipation to let loose for the Outta Control tour.

The "AmonKlok" co-headline tour featuring: Dethklok, Amon Amarth & Castle Rat performed at the MGM Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, April 29th. This 21-date US/Canadian run started on April 15th in Arizona and ends on May 21st in Las Vegas. April 29 saw a building-shaking triple-bill of theatrical metal at the MGM Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts, in the shadow of Fenway Park, home of the almighty Boston Red Sox. The Sox, however, were in Toronto t

On April 23, 2026, Big Night Live in Boston hosted the Freedom Grow Benefit Concert, presented by Seshn Events. The event featured co-headliners G. Love and Chali 2na, both backed by The Seshn Band, with an opening performance by Dutch ReBelle. More than just a concert, the night marked the official launch of Seshn Events while raising funds and awareness for Freedom Grow, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals still incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis offenses. It

Thursday night at Southside Ballroom was one of those shows where you could just feel something special in the air before it even started. The venue was absolutely packed, standing room only, with fans who clearly had been counting down the days for this one. Opener Cece Natalie kicked things off and honestly did a great job setting the mood. She got the crowd engaged and moving, and by the time her set wrapped up the room was warmed up and ready. She held her own up there a

Final nights do hit different. Looser, hungrier, like nobody’s ready to let it end. That was the tone inside The Pinnacle in Nashville on April 22nd, and it carried through every set of the night. It had also been a minute. This was Gov’t Mule’s first time back in Nashville since May 12, 2023, and they didn’t waste a second reminding the room what that absence meant.

It's a Saturday night, and the streets of downtown Orlando are already buzzing as music pulses through Orange Ave. But dare I say the energy outside is nothing compared to the energy about to hit the Social tonight? Caroline Kingsbury is poised to hit the stage on her Shock Treatment tour—one that holds quite the significance. Not only is it her first headlining tour across the US, but making it even more special is the fact that tonight is her hometown show.

On April 24th, legendary neo-classical blues guitarist Uli Jon Roth brought his long-awaited performance celebrating the 50th anniversaries of two legendary Scorpions albums, "In Trance" & "Virgin Killers," along with his opening set, "Pictures of Destiny," to the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, NH. This tour was originally scheduled for the fall of 2025 but had to be moved to April 2026, where he is performing 21 shows in 29 days spanning from California to New York.

Journey wasted no time setting the tone, opening the show with Be Good to Yourself. The energy inside the arena instantly exploded as frontman Arnel Pineda stormed the stage with unmatched charisma and powerhouse vocals. From the very first song, Arnel’s passion was undeniable. During Ask the Lonely, Arnel had the crowd fired up as he jumped all over the stage, feeding off the audience’s energy. Then came La Raza del Sol, where the stage came alive with pyro effects and stun

Icelandic sensation Ásgeir played the last UK leg of his current European tour at Islington Assembly Hall last Wednesday night. From my experience, there’s something about Icelandic music that hits different. Why? It’s a good question, but this nation of creatives bring a fluidity to music genre that few embrace so well. Ásgeir is no exception to this, with a firm grip of folk, contemporary pop, electronic that all remains delightfully indie.

The Maine is one of those bands that feels like the purest source of nostalgia. Thanks to their bright sounding chord progressions and ever-grounded lyrics, you don’t have to know a word of their music to hear how they complement the scenes of long car rides and nights with your friends. The group would be the first to tell you this, as they had a tour called “The Modern Nostalgia Tour,” where they played through two of their most rose-tinted albums to date, American Candy

It’s a beautiful Friday night at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida. The excitement of the weekend is palpable as concertgoers mingle among one another, eagerly waiting in line for tonight’s highly anticipated sold-out show. Headlining the evening is The Midnight, traveling nationwide on their Time Machines Tour. But little do fans know—they’re about to be introduced to the sweet sounds of New Constellations, a duo poised to captivate the ears and hearts of everyone at the Ho
