I had the opportunity to get some inside intel from Days of Disaster. They are a new, up and coming band from the Michigan/Ohio area. They have rocked at Piere’s Entertainment Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana multiple times. They have already had the amazing opportunity to open up the stage for many nationally touring artists, such as Scotty Austin from Saving Abel, Josey Scott, the original voice of Saliva, Ill Nino, Hed PE, Tantric, Trapt, Plush and many more.

On August 21, 2025 Plush headlined at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Five bands from the surrounding area were also there in support of Plush. Earth Below Us, Exit 73, The Precibus, Norumundy and Days of Disaster all took turns heating that stage all the way up to high for Plush.

For any music fan, there’s something undeniably powerful about artists who channel their life experiences into their work. One band that exemplifies this is Florida's own The Haunt. This dynamic duo, composed of siblings Maxamillion and Anastasia has taken the essence of their struggles and transformed it into a raw, emotive sound that resonates with listeners across the globe. Their latest album, born from hard times, showcases their personal growth and artistic evolution.

The Descendents, punk rock pioneers, were graciously greeted at The Underground by fans of all ages. When I say all ages, I mean generations worth of fans. It wasn’t uncommon to see day one fans with their kids, singing along and having a grand old time….it was a beautiful sight to see.

Fairwell Festival what can I say but WOW!! When Fairwell Festival first got on my radar it was 100% about the music. Such a stacked lineup but looking back on the weekend it was so much more than the music. The high desert of Redmond, OR truly is the perfect setting for an event like this. With mountain views and hours outside of the hustle of the city it became so easy to detach from the world and just be in the moment and just let the music take you places.

Today is going to be a hot one! And I don't just mean that for the incredible talent slated to hit the stage tonight; I mean that for the...

The Offspring’s Supercharged Worldwide ’25 Tour hit Tampa like a punk rock wrecking ball - fast, loud, and ferociously fun. On a...

What inspired the creation of this single? “Freedom” was born out of a deep internal conflict — a feeling of being trapped in a world that demands so much conformity, while your soul is screaming for truth and liberation. I was reflecting on the systems we live in — political, social, economic — and how they often strip us of authenticity. But more than anything, it was inspired by the need to break free from those inner walls we build ourselves. It’s a cry for spiritual a

What first got you into music? My soul connected with music from a very young age. I sang, danced, and played; it was in my blood (maybe “bones” instead?) from day 1. Okay, maybe day 2.

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? Rise is an album forged in angst and frustration with the world system as it stands, where the weak and needy are pushed aside and wealth is worshipped. Each song tackles an aspect of our dissatisfaction. It's time to change the world. It's time to rise. We chose rising smoke for the artwork for its ambiguity and connotation.

On the eve of their much-anticipated support slot with Iron Maiden at the London Arena, Halestorm lit up The Gibson Garage in London, UK, with an exclusive meet and greet event for 60 lucky fans. Surrounded by an impressive collection of Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer guitars, the band connected with attendees in an intimate setting that celebrated both music and community.

How did you guys come together to form Downshift? Myself (Jordan Payne) and Aaron Parrett (a previous member) had written the songs on the album “one in the chamber” and we were looking to build the right group of guys around it. A mutual friend of ours was playing bass at the time, and introduced us to Jordan McAdams (drummer). The night before his tryout, another mutual friend of Aaron and I’s (Clayton barber), had reached out to me asking if I knew of any bands looking

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.

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,

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
