You couldn’t get me to go to this if you told me there would be glory holes in the port-a-potties. Maybe if Pig Destroyer, Quicksand, and Carcass were playing, I would go. But this is not the case. Instead, this year’s Carnival Of Madness will feature Chevelle, Halestorm, and Evanescence. There’s also some band on Read More
You know, I am so happy I am not at Bamboozle today. Firstly, I think Asbury Park’s kind of the butthole of the Jersey Shore. Second, the bands at Bamboozle are total shite, for the most part. And thirdly, I hate those douchey kids who go to Bamboozle. I had to cover that shit last Read More
Phobia — who will release a new album in June — is going on tour, folks. Yes, yes — Phobia and Strong Intention will be joining forced for the “East Coast Filth Tour.” Ironically, that was another name given me when I was a youth. East Coast filth. Phobia’s forthcoming album, Remnants of Filth, was Read More
Who ever thought this could happen? Pollstar claim Van Halen have postponed over 30 dates on their 2012 North American tour, beginning with the July 7 concert at Uncasville, Connecticut. Connecticut always gets fucked. All shows through September 25 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are postponed. There’s no word yet as to the reason for the postponements, Read More
Good morning, children. Any chance you little ones wanna know about Agalloch’s North American summer tour? Well, young lads and lasses, head to the end of this post for those tour dates, OK? Taurus will be the opening band on the tour, which is coming to my birth city of Brooklyn.
This is about as phat as that ass you followed from Main Street to Madison the other day, even though you were late for work. It was just so bubble-icious…you were transfixed. It’s cool. It happens. I get that way with nice, big camel toe. Anyways, Illinois post-hardcore outfit Planes Mistaken For Stars — who Read More
Yes, yes — I am fully fucking aware that Jane’s Addiction is not metal. But if you dig guitar, and you hate hair metal, you owe a debt to Jane’s. Jane’s were one of the first “alternative” bands to get major label attention and notoriety, along with bands like the Pixies. Without Jane’s, there’d never Read More
Oh, Canada. Refused are coming with glowing hearts to your home and native land! Get pumped. Alas, if you live in Eastern Canada, you may need to book a plane ticket. Refused — who got me into the pit for the first time in ten years when they played New York’s Terminal 5 — have Read More
So, the other day, it was announced that Earth Crisis would be at this year’s This Is Hardcore Fest. Like the smart band they are, Earth Crisis have decided to stop off and play a few shows between home and the big fest in Philadelphia. Those dates follow at the end of this post. By Read More
This is kinda rad, because something tells me this is a hard live record to find…not that I dig live records very much at all. Agnostic Front’s seminal 1989 live release Live At CBGB will be reissued again, this time by Bridge Nine on July 17. I do believe there was a 25 year anniversary Read More
