Last Friday, a sold out crowd at Best Buy Theatre got their chance to say goodbye to Long Island pop punk group The Movielife.
MV's Top Albums of 2010 // #30-21 With this post we are now more than half way through our list of our favorite 50 albums in 2010. As an added bonus we have an upcoming nifty little list of honorable mentions for you to feast on. As we mentioned before this is not a ranked list it is just a list in no particular order of albums that got a lot of headphone and speaker time with us in 2010. Above you can enjoy some tracks with video accompaniment from each album. [...]
10. Underoath - Ø ( Disambiguation) [Tooth and Nail] I devoted one of my longer posts this year to the metalcore phenomenon that is Underoath. Once the forerunner of "screamo," the Tooth and Nail lifers have grown into a beast of another nature. Ø (Disambiguation) chronicles the band at a key turning point in its history. Coming off a less-than-stellar album and the departure [...]
I wish I had gotten into Crime in Stereo sooner. This year's I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone turned out to be their last and final album following the announcement of their disbandment back in August. It's a shame - the Long Island five-piece truly embodied the post-hardcore ethic, staying true to their underground punk roots while accepting an evolution towards a darker, melodic sound. The band recently released a video for "I Am Everything I Am Not," an introspective collection of tour footage from this year. Savor this, because unless you're [...]
Damn. Crime in Stereo's final video. I remember when I heard The Troubled Stateside for the first time. I was so stoked to hear a young band write gritty yet melodic hardcore anthems with all the urgency and cathartic energy of, say, Dag Nasty or Lifetime . It was an invigorating listen, and one of the genuinely great surprises of 2006. Although neither 2007's Crime in Stereo is Dead or this year's I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone could match the visceral intensity [...]
Crime In Stereo have posted their final music video for the track "I Am Everything I Am Not" from I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone [Vinyl] . The video serves as sort of a mini documentary with some interview voiceovers from the band along with backstage and performance footage including clips that were taken from their record release show at Webster Hall earlier this year. The last two Crime In Stereo records were amazing and I feel the band was never heard by enough people to [...]
Photo: Brian C. Reilly "It appears as though Crime In Stereo have broken up. The band has offered little information other than identical "CRIME IN STEREO IS DEAD (2002 - 2010)" status updates on their twitter and Facebook pages. We'll keep you updated as more details surface. Recently the band was forced to cancel a handful of shows after vocalist Kristian Hallbert had to undergo emergency oral surgery. According to this post to the group's twitter [...]
My Gold Mask-1000 Voices This duo hailing from Chicago is proof that you don't need a big band to create a full rich sound. If you don't believe us believe the EP and if you don't believe that see them live. Keepaway-Babystyle Brooklyn locals, Keepaway made our list of 10 for 2010 in the beginning of the year and so far they have lived [...]
By James McGrath Tuesday night was my first experience at the music venue Mexicali Live and I do think I will be returning. The tour, headlined by Crime in Stereo and supported by The Swellers and This Time Next Year, stopped by its second to last venue of the 8 date tour; it was the last night with my reason for going, This Time Next Year. It seemed to be a peculiar place for bands to play, [...]

I've been reading several reviews of Crime In Stereo 's I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone , that came out in February and stands as one of Metacritic 's most highly rated albums of the year thus far. I like how Metacritic mixes both professional and personal reviews, with the man on the street saying that the album is dense and may take a few listenings but is worth the slog. The phrase that comes up repeatedly about the Long Island band is that they are hardcore , or [...]
:: It's nice to see Shel Silverstein can bring together Bobby Bare Jr. and Bobby Bare Sr. Oh yeah, and My Morning Jacket , Andrew Bird , Dr. Dog and Black Francis , among others. :: At least the Vatican isn't too butt hurt about that whole "bigger than Jesus" thing with The Beatles these days. Yes, that is ripe for distasteful jokes. :: Not only do we get a Simple Science EP from The Get [...]

My baby is teething like crazy and sick so I've been back and forth between finishing this post and running upstairs to calm her down when she starts crying. What a day...

Here are some pics we snapped at the Crime In Stereo record release show for I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone which was just released via Bridge 9. I will go on record saying that I think this is their best album to date, it's experimental with great hooks with punk rock [...]
