You know, media mogul and notorious big baller Ted Turner was totally right when he said: “Sports is like a war without the killing.” And that’s why our Miami Dolphins should immediately suspend their punk-bitch-porpoise-in-a helmet logo in favor of Last Rights’ Mac-10 redesign. For one, this murder weapon with…

Jose Luis Perales is what you might call a living legend. The title seems fitting. Perhaps you don’t think you’re familiar with his work, but if you have parents from Spain or Latin America then rest assured you most certainly do. And if perhaps you yourself are a died-in-the-wool grownup…

When a newly reformed legendary Brazilian psychedelic band calls upon you to open up for its national tour, it’s probably best to simply say yes. Of course, leave it to those wacky Os Mutantes to go ahead and dig up the only group that describes their sound as “Spanish-Jewish indie…

In the post-hardcore pantheon, the New Jersey guys of Thursday are millennial gods. Led by the unapologetically erudite frontman Geoff Rickly, in the late ’90s and early ’00s, their early loud-soft aesthetic helped define what would later come to be known — often pejoratively — as “screamo.” That accomplishment has…
That little “influences” box on a musician’s MySpace page is usually a repository for not-funny irony or complete bullshit.

This past Saturday marked a strange, rare occasion in which fans of shlock-gore-obsessed hard rock were faced with a difficult choice. At Revolution was GWAR, but in Pompano Beach was the grand originator of it all: Alice Cooper. The latter, while stain-free, was still an entertaining, good-time bang for the…
Going on 20 years together as a band, Strung Out has been able to make its metallic pop-punk work wonders. Already claiming seven full-lengths, two non-LP collections, one live album, and two EPs, the band is promoting its latest release, Agents of the Underground, with its current string of tours…
