There is a cohesive band playing something that is rock in nature, but what really awaits listeners? The band could easily move into rock, emo, or punk; what eventually [...]

Download: Fergus & Geronimo Daytrotter Session When Fergus & Geronimo dropped their debut LP earlier this year, it was a reason to let out a sign of relief. It was nice to start off the year with a band who didn't take themselves so seriously. F&G have a new Daytrotter session out. I didn't think it was possible, but it seems they found different ways to bring their outlandish personalities to a new level. Singing about movie sequels and sex with older women are just a few tricks of the [...]

I must apologize for the amount of time I spent transcribing this interview, but this found itself to be one of the most difficult transcriptions I have ever done and I contemplated not bothering.

At this point, I'm sure you're wondering what happened. Little Brazil 's guitarist Greg Edds and I left the venue in search of a quiet spot to conduct [...]

Superbad looks so fucking amazing. There should be about 30 George Michael projects underway right now. The boy won't have his youth much longer! Also seriously this looks to be the most amazing obvious plotline perfectly cast and executed. I mean that so happens. So often we are forced to marry guys when we're straight. It's out there. It's real. Sometimes the casting can go down so very, very wrong: Who is even [...]

Kansas City, MO Pick up the self-titled release from Roman Numerals through Anodyne Records . "Induce" Roman Numerals on MySpace

Being in or around Kansas City, the Roman Numerals and their debut self-titled album for Anodyne Records is one of my most anticipated releases of the year. It’s to be released September 5th, however if you attended the record release party on Aug. 19th, then you probably already have this bad boy. A little background on Roman Numerals, they are a collection of members who have been in some of KC’s finest bands over the years. Those being Shiner , Season to Risk , and Dirtnap [...]
