Ah, the Warped Tour. One of the last remaining bastions of a punk-rock tour in the U.S. Even though I've never heard of most of the bands that are playing the festival this year and the tour tends to cater to a much younger crowd (i.e. 12-16 years old, it seems), Warped is still an American institution that should be attended at least once. That being said, the main acts for this, the 17th annual Warped Tour, include the following bands: 3OH!3, A Day To Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, Against Me!, August Burns Red, [...]

The tour, which also includes bands such as The Wonder Years, Set Your Goals, Lucero among others, kicks off on June 24th in Dallas, TX and wraps up on August 14 in Hillsboro, OR.

Filed under: News , New Music Keeping a promise that he made to Spinner last December, Billy Corgan has indeed rolled out Smashing Pumpkins songs for their 'Teargarden By Kaleidoscope' project one at a time, for free, online. As with the previous six offerings, the latest track, 'Spangled,' comes with no strings attached -- however it does come with a certain intent. On Tuesday, the song appeared exclusively on the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund [...]

Well, this is cool. Here's a video of Chicago's alt-rock sensations Lovehammers covering the Who classic Baba O'Riley. Joining the 'Hammers are Scott Lucas and Kyle Dee of The Frantic , and it all went down at the Through The Pain Benefit for beaten Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone a couple weeks back at the Hard Rock Hotel. Jamming out for a great cause is always sweet, but when that cause brings together some of Chicago's top rockers for a Who cover? That's even sweeter. Check out the clip, courtesy [...]

This weekend, twin brother and bandmate Nathan told NME that Matthew's condition is improving. "My brother's recently been through some difficult times," Nathan said in a video interview (available below). "It's [...]
