A bunch of local bands are looking to kick cancer's ass while performing some sweet live music. As part of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, one of the fundraising teams, Besties for Breasties, are coordinating a show at Mojo's on Saturday, March 26. Performing that evening are Brett Adams (of The Riot Before ), singer-songwriter Clint Maul and Ryan B. and the Dead Sea . And as a last minute addition, Matt Seymour from [...]
I like The Riot Before's new album Rebellion better than their last one, Fists Buried In Pockets , which I also like a lot. On first listen, I wasn't sure, but it's grown on me quite a bit. Rebellion is a more direct and in-your-face record than its predecessor and relies less on subtlety in the arrangements and more on volume and relentlessness. It's still got catchy melodies and sing-a-long parts, and there's still a little (but less) Americana twang than I hoped for, but (in retrospect) I don't [...]

The second annual Harvest of Hope Music Festival will return to St. Augustine, FL this March 12-14, and one thing is becoming quite clear: music's most underrated music festival is quickly becoming one of music's most stellar music festivals. This year's lineup once again again showcases a diverse roster of national and international acts, including alt-rock legend Billy Bragg, acclaimed folk-rock outfit The Mountain Goats, psychedelic rockers Dr. Dog, indie sensations Rogue Wave, UK punk band Leatherface, and the hardcore group Senses Fail. And that's just getting started. Man Man, Delta Spirit, Anti-Flag, The [...]

Adding to the usual debauchery of Halloween weekend is the FEST in Gainesville, Florida. For three days (October 30 through November 1) avid music fans permeate Gator town. With over 300 bands playing in a dozen venues throughout the city, paired with impromptu and house shows, the FEST is like a punk enthusiast's scavenger hunt to awesomeness. The FEST is filled with ink, beards, and the Pabst Blue Ribbon that pours out of sweaty fans' pores, as they fist pump and crowd surf. Outside of the music related fare, there is Friday's FEST-organized pool party at [...]

Video: The Riot Before "We Are Wild Stallions"
In which I review CDs that have been sitting next to my stereo since shortly after Thanksgiving. Just because they're not timely doesn't mean they're not content… Star Fucking Hipsters – "Until We're Dead" (Fat Wreck Chords) Does every single band Scott Sturgeon (aka the Stza) is involved in have to sound alike ...
mit " if you make it " gibt es eine seite vorzustellen, die sich verschiedenen aufgaben widmet. sie gibt konzertaufnahmen preis, veröffentlicht alben (zumeist als download) und führt eine kleine rubrik, da auf einer couch hockend künstler songs zum besten geben. deshalb auch die "pink couch sessions" genannt. erinnert uns natürlich alle an taxifahrten inkl. ständchen oder an aufzugfahrten in amsterdam inkl. ständchen und weitere diverse aufnahmeorte plus künstlereinsatz. hübsche geschichten sind das immer. nur hier haben wir erstmals nicht die üblichen verdächtigen, sondere eine besondere auswahl an bands und soloartisten. da gibt es viel zum [...]
Everyone else is doing it so why shouldn't I? That's right, listmania 2008 is finally here and what I've got to present to you here is the first half of my favorite albums of the year. Love 'em or hate 'em, these are the albums that made the cut. I decided to stick with a list of 50 this year mainly because that's what I've done in the past and also because 2008 was a really great year for new music and narrowing down the list to fewer than this just seemed unfair. [...]
The Riot Before is a punk band from Richmond, VA that (like so many other bands these days) adds a little bit of Americana twang to what might otherwise be pretty straightforward. It works. Rather than blazing through the eleven songs on their latest album, Fists Buried In Pockets , the band often detours into twangier/folksier territory but always manage to sound energetic. Those little detours work well in terms of the album's overall pacing and really make everything (every single song) seem amazingly cohesive. Even so, The Riot Before is at their best when their [...]
Photo by Bill Shouldis For this installment of Tales From The Fest , The Riot Before 's guitar/vocalist Brett talks about breaking his Fest cherry last year and how the festivities have a deeper meaning than just getting silly drunk for three days. The Riot Before released their fantastic album Fists Buried In Pockets recently via Say-10 Records and you should check it out. Onward! Last year was my first time at The Fest and I didn't really know what to expect beyond [...]
Added: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Description: On tour from Richmond, TRB was in town to play a show with 'labelmates' Bomb the Music Industry. I think they set the land-speed record for filming a pink couch, only taking 1 take on each song. They are on tour now and have a new record, "Fists Buried In Pockets"
