Among these are that people will wait in huge lines to spin any prize wheel, it can take over an hour to go from the highway exit to a parking space, and there's [...] The post Show Review: Live 1052s BFD at Shoreline Amphitheater, 5/19/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

The greatest news reached me today. After the confirmation of Kodaline, Archive and Awolnation, Little Green Cars and my latest huge crush Tom Odell will be coming to the Austrian FM4 Frequency Festival in August. Checking out the collection of timetables on my wall, my first Frequency Festival was in 2003, with Travis and Metallica [...]

Some of my favorite memories of being a kid revolve around games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II - memorizing special moves, fatalities, and the all important blood code (A, B, A, C, A, B, B). There was no better feeling than making a friend feel foolish as you pummeled them across the screen, proving that you were the superior gamer. NetherRealm Studios looks to recreate these feelings of glory with their newest release, Injustice: Gods Among Us . Injustice: Gods Among Us gives gamers the opportunity to take the fighting premise [...]
One of the greatest music festivals in the world recently returned as a championship contender when they released their lineup for 2013. Lately, the festival seemed to rely mainly on its prestige alone. After all, it is a festival that spans over 11 days and has more than 800 acts performing on 11 different stages. The festival is a vision of the great late mayor of Milwaukee, Henry Maier, who wanted a massively relative festival that would compare to the joyous Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. He started the tradition that became Summerfest in 1968. The lineup [...]

On April 16th, DC Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios (the legends behind Mortal Kombat ) will release Injustice: Gods Among Us , an innovative new fighting game that pits DC Comics' heroes and villains against each other in an original story that blurs the line between good and evil. Soundtracking the vicious beatdowns is new and unreleased material from a who's-who of popular musical acts, including Rise Against, Portugal. The Man, Killer Mike, and even Depeche Mode. Canadian alt-rockers Zeus contribute "Refusal to Die", a largely instrumental track that assails your [...]
One of the more unique sounds to gain some attention in the past year has been AWOLNATION, a mix of alternative, blues, and electronic into one complete sound. The latest song called "The Kid's Not Alright" packs a punch and is more on the rock/blues side of their sound. What might surprise you is that this song is on a soundtrack for a video game ( Injustice: Gods Among Us ) and will feature other bands like Portugal. The Man . Yet, as with most of AWOLNATION 's songs, this one is just as catchy as [...]
I honestly cannot seem to figure out AWOLNATION when it comes to their music, and that's a good thing. One minute they're like, hey we're just gonna do this real slow-paced tune that will build and build until we blow you're fucking tits off with one simple 4 letter word , and the next they're like now we're just gonna be this grungy hardcore garage rock band that will viciously chafe your nipples with our thumping bassline. And you gotta respect that. Not many bands can interchange their sound between so many different styles [...]
Awolnation has a very unique style, at times they sound like pure rock like the Arctic Monkeys but at other times they song like Nine Inch Nails . On their new track This Kids Not Alright all their style comes out. At points the piece sounds like it is an electro anthem and at others it sounds like a strong four piece rock song. Regardless you won't want to miss this huge heavy hitting track. Recorded for a new video game called Injustice: Gods Amoung Us this track will be one of many on the soundtrack. [...]
Impersonating the likes of The Black Keys at one end and the Nine Inch Nail frontman Trent Reznor at the other, AWOLNATION 's gritty new blues inspired tune "This Kid's Not Alright" packs quite the energetic punch. Suprisingly, "The Kid's Not Alright" is intended for a video game soundtrack ("Injustice: Gods Among Us") that will feature everyone from MSTRKRFT to Portugal. The Man and is due out April 16 under Water Tower Music . AWOLNATION frontman Aaron Bruno has come a long way since his Under The Influence of Giants days, narrowing in on [...]

Aaron Bruno, frontman for AWOLNATION, is a captivating performer. After catching their sold-out performance at Marathon Music Works on Thursday night, during which Bruno seemingly [...]
Kendrick Lamar and labelmate Ab-Soul come together on this remix/rework of Sail that was leaked and unfortunately covered in tags. K Dot is literally everywhere right now and it’s a good thing for rap. Jay-Z giving him the nod is a blessing and acknowledgement for the young spitter. I have a lot of faith in Kendrick and J. Cole and hope they help the rest of their young peers take hip hop in a good direction.
Max Bell is excited for Paid Dues. If you haven't heard Awolnation's "Sail" yet, then you either haven't turned on your radio or your TV since June of 2011. Or, like me, you've done your damndest to ignore it. The song is everywhere. Like here , here , here , and here . It's a well-articulated and well-funded (they're on Red Bull ) piece of paranoid and suicidal rock/electro-pop punctuated with one of the most annoying "can't get it out of my head" screams. Really, it's music for angst-ridden Malibu teens—"blame it on [...]
Known for the band's high-energy live sets, L.A. indie-rockers AWOLNATION led by mastermind Aaron Bruno will be in town this coming Friday, where they'll be [...]
AWOLNATION's smash single "Sail" was always primed for a remix of this caliber. Enter Kendrick Lamar and his TDE affiliate Ab-Soul. If you can get past the L.A. Leakers plugs and shoutouts then you deserve immense amounts of credit - we'll get the CDQ up here as soon as it's ... Read More
