Entitled SPEAK NOW, the album will be released on Big Machine Records and contains 14 tracks, all written solely by Taylor. Taylor co-produced the project with Nathan Chapman, and the first single from the new record, “Mine,” will be released on August 16th. “Saying the right thing at the right moment is so crucial that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the…
The cover to Lovedrug’s “Everything Starts Where It Ends” does not really inspired many individuals. Hopefully, it will be the case that people find the band through their Myspace. The introductory track to the album is “Happy Apple Poison”, and it shows Lovedrug as an act that is influenced by the early-nineties stylings of Jane’s Addiction with a much more current brand of emotional rock. This results into something that…
Based on true events, THE LENA BAKER STORY recounts one African-American womans struggle to rise above the challenges of her life, to face the choices she makes, and to ultimately triumph over her impossible circumstances. As a young girl in the early 1900s Lena Baker (Tichina Arnold) and her mother (Beverly Todd) make ends meet by picking cotton in the hot southern sun of rural Cuthbert, Georgia. Lena grows up…
Wow, is it just me or does “Suture Self” remind anyone of early Descendents? Well, maybe not EARLY Descendents, but something that really would have had to come out circa 1987-1988. Anyways, comparing a band to the Descendents (and there’s a little nod to Rise Against, as well), should be seen as nothing less than a glowing bit of praise. The Loved Ones deserve this; their “Keep Your Heart” comes…
Plan an escape, maybe not to South America, but definitely to a Thieves and Villains show when they hit your town! 8/11/2010 Crocodile Rock Cafe Allentown PA 8/15/2010 The Warehouse La Crosse WI 8/20/2010 Mt. Airy Firehall Mt. Airy MD 8/27/2010 Laserdome Manheim PA About the band: When it came to writing South America, THIEVES & VILLAINS decided to sculpt the album as if they were the only four people…
Five acclaimed albums; hundreds of headlining shows, four months touring Europe supporting Rammstein (playing to hundreds of thousands of people)… Combichrist is fired up and ready for action! Many acts reach a certain level of success and rest on their reputations, Combichrist’s Andy LaPlegua returned to the studio with a fist full of inspiration and a whole lot of nothing to prove. With the new album, Making Monsters, LaPlegua emerges…
Love and Squalor is a perfect band to showcase for being utterly bouncy without fitting into one single genre or general sound. At times sounding like the Descendents and The Replacements with a little emo (Jimmy Eat World, Fugazi) mixed in, Love and Squalor don’t want their audience to get bored. Tracks like “Were I With You” really recall the sound of the earliest days of the Lancaster music scene,…
I personally like when different companies marry “cute” with absolute intense, gory, or otherwise horrific themes. It’s a nice chiaroscuro, and one that livens up typically played-out genres and styles of games. Naughty Bear does just that, setting players in control of the titular character that has been utterly spurned by Daddles, whom is having a birthday party. Instead of keeping eir mouth shut, Naughty Bear looks to wreak revenge…
Enter for a chance to win an iPad from NeuFutur and punk rockers DRIVE A! The band just got off the Bamboozle Roadshow with All Time Low, and will be heading back out on the road this Fall with Bullet For My Valentine, Escape The Fate, and Black Tide.
Produced by John Alagia (John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Ben Folds Five, Brett Dennen) Ry Cuming features 11 tracks that perfectly encompass Ry’s signature style – an effortless combination of tumbling falsetto melodies and rocking choruses set to a captivating musical narrative. Maroon 5’s Jesse Carmichael contributes his beautiful piano work to the album and Sara Bareilles lends her vocal talent to the track,”Always Remember Me.” The national tour includes dates…

The roughness of the rock that Loudlife comes up with for the opening of their CD is something that follows from 38 Special and leads through Every Mother’s Nightmare and Cinderella into something that is new but with a lot of history behind it. The vocals of Lorraine Ferro during this disc are at least as strong as furious as the guitar work that screams in the background, which makes…
Fresh off the remix for Ciara’s “Ride” that he produced and featured on alongside Andre 3000, Bei Maejor drops the first track off his upcoming free album uʍop ǝpısdn (Upside Down). “Gamez,” featuring famed songwriter-turned-artist Keri Hilson, is the first offering from the project, which is hosted by Clinton Sparks and features a flurry of other big time features.

Formed by Cernunnos, the band produces underground black metal bearing avant-garde, ambient, and melodic elements. Imagery and lyrical content are derived from misanthropic and anti-Christian ideologies with undercurrents of Indo-European mythology. The band has three releases to date including the debut full…
The sunny punk-pop of “Feels Like Drowning” shows Dennis to be more influenced by Dick Dale and The Ramones than by Husker Du and The Replacements. This is not to say that the music has a dated or otherwise backwards sound it, but to expect more of the same music that brought Refused to the forefront is to invite disappointment. This brand of punk is almost the most simplistic and…
ust in time for Halloween, Camp Motion Pictures unveils SCULPTURE, a brutal psychological shocker that Fearzone calls “well-acted, gory, and disturbing,” and HorrorSociety.com praises as. “…a visceral treat on many levels.” Starring Raine Brown (DARK CHAMBER) and Misty Mundae (Cinemax’s LINGERIE, Masters of Horror SICK GIRL), this harrowing story of an emotionally fragile artist and the repressed trauma that threatens her sanity will have you on the edge of your…

Keeping true to their status as at least a partially-California band, Los Kung-Fu Monkeys uses a number of styles to provide a fresh and groovy album for their listeners. Working off a base of Ska, Punk, and Surf, the Monkeys use a very positive-sounding music to promote a better world; specifically asking individuals to “justify your actions”, “take a look at the city tonight”, and “to stop all this war”.…
Boston’s Have Heart was perhaps one of the most impactful and relevant bands to exist in the hardcore circuit in the 2000’s and have remained relevant even since they disbanded in October of 2009. Over their seven-year-long career, the band released two albums for Bridge Nine Records: 2008’s Songs to Scream at the Sun and the band’s 2006 debut full-length The Things We Carry. That landmark recording (The Things We…
