somebody has got to appreciate my phone background. i know the devil wears prada is a band that strives to not be in the way of their message, but mikey hranica is definitely someone i truly look up to. from the way he writes and sings to the way he and the rest of the […]

fifteen [FIFTEEN!] years into their career, yellowcard still has it, and has it in SPADES. great new song Always Summer off the august 14th LP, Southern Air. previously the band had released a lyric video, but they premiered an actual music video today, and it gives me chills how much i want to be somewhere […]

yep. yep. yep yep. see you in seattle! FINALLY. SEATTLE. twloha: We’re starting our 6th year on Vans Warped Tour tomorrow in Salt Lake City! We hope to see you on the road this summer.

of mice & men’s new track from the upcoming 2-disc The Flood Reissue is below. i’m a little torn about austin carlile. i can’t deny that he’s a great screamer, and he’s decidedly magnetic. people are drawn to him like they are craig owens… but carlile has a bit of baggage. he’s been kicked out […]

i love lights, and i love blessthefall. and i love that lights and beau bokan have such a great thing going. i pray that they have an amazing marriage and life together. beau, frontman for christian core up-and-comer blessthefall, posted this beautiful blog on heartsupport today. i just want to share it with you. forgiveness […]

my boy @smackinyc, the violinist that has helped make yellowcard a household name, has been fighting thyroid cancer since the end of last year. it sounds like he’s recovering and doing better, but cancer is always a bitter fight. you can find the official statement on altpress here. if you have friends or family who […]

most of my friends give me a hard time because i am NOT a big fan of maroon 5. they have some great songs, but adam levine’s douchiness [and his just alright voice] in combination with a sort of sellout feel has left an unfortunate taste in my mouth. don’t get me wrong, i think […]

new music on new music: there’s been a veritable bevy of new music in the post-hardcore/rock scene this week. silverstein’s joined with a new video for the song Forget Your Heart. i’ll catch some flak for this, but honestly this song is underwhelming and the video is alright at best. i wasn’t aware that emo […]

i’m told today is @kevinkeffinskaff’s birthday, of a day to remember. aside from being one of the biggest names to join heavy influences and screaming to pop punk [call it what you will, but i stick to easycore and stay as far the freak away from “emo-pop” as possible. 1 because it’s inaccurate and 2 […]

i have a very great respect for levi benton, the 21 year old monstrosity that captains miss may i. the band is young, both as a group and as individual musicians, but that hasn’t stopped the ohio metal band from striking out and making a name for themselves. i’m told they were more or less […]
