Bobby Albert - Serving Hub City Rock from 1981-2012 Nobody knows the answer Why Bobby Albert Jr would one day wake-up on a cold January and decide The Court Tavern (124 Church St) would close it's doors forever. Maybe he got an offer he could not refuse - but I doubt it. Maybe the burden of a looming $60 thousand dollar bar license was just too huge an amount of hard swet and pride he was not willing to cough up one more time. The hole was just to big so he folded his hand. [...]
Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here's managing editor Andrew Bonazelli… Two weeks ago, we not only revealed that this month's dB flexi disc is Krallice covering Rorschach's "Traditional," but that the corresponding Hall of Fame would be [...]
Dead Guy // "Bad Elvis" This track by Dead Guy is called "Bad Elvis", and it is not to be confused with the title of the album it comes from, Bad Evils. Although you can't really go wrong listening to either. Dead Guy is the moniker of one-man-band Tommy Bones and everything about this whole project for me dredges of the aesthetics of the celebration of the Day of the Dead . It's an eight-and-a-half minute romp through the south complete with the screams of lost [...]
This post will be very concise and to the point: The other day I realized that nearly all metalcore/screamo/post-hardcor e videos take place in a grassy field, and I will use this space to list several examples. I don't know if you have ever tried to make a Wikipedia entry, but it's really hard because some [...]
"BIG PANTS WASTE PRECIOUS FABRIC" Step into my Nocturnus time machine and take a magical journey with me into a time long, long ago, an excursion into a world that scarcely resembles our own. In this world - we'll call it Moshtopia - hardcore kids are known for wearing giant, baggy pants, not skinny jeans; [...]
Photo: Brian Reilly This Friday, The Empire Shall Fall (ex. Killswitch Engage) and Chambers will be welcoming Tiger Flowers to the line-up at Ding Batz in Clifton, NJ . Tiger Flowers, natives of NYC and Upstate NY, will be bringing their unique brand of metal and hardcore to New Jersey. The band has been making a name for themselves in New York City with passionately staggering performances. The band will be invading New Jersey once again on July 15th at Asbury Lanes for those [...]
First things first: screamo is literally worse than the Holocaust in my book. With a few notable exceptions, I absolutely cannot stand this shit. That said, with bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Underoath selling out huge venues, putting out platinum-selling albums, and selling truckloads of cookie-cutter merch to [...]

Hey Revolutionaries! I just picked up a copy of Black Kites new lp Advancement To Ruins, and let me tell you it is not for the faint of heart. This three-piece hailing from New Jersey plays a loud, bass heavy metallic hardcore that will have you up and thrashing about your room doing windmills. These guys are playing honest and brutal music that you would be an absolute fool for sleeping on this. Download the album for free below and help these guys out and pick up the LP. E. May 2nd The Meat [...]
Based out of New Brunswick, NJ in the early 90's there was prog funk alternative rock metalish band called Mr. Thumb . The group had two singers and a running gaggle of drummers. Above is the cover for a 3 song ep called " This time it's gonna fuckin' Hurt " on Hub city label Well Primed Records. The track we are featuring in this post was supposed to appear on a follow-up 7" and self titled album on Behemoth Records but it never was released due to financial issues at the time(isn't this always the case?). The band [...]
Alright, which one of you pulled the fire alarm? Bender!?!? With high expectations, a few drinks already imbibed, and tickets procured several weeks ago, two cars full of potential Health Ledger For Oscar fanclub members left their cushy Echo Park hobo homes and drove to the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood for a midnight screening of The Dark Knight . That is the name of the new Batman movie, in case you've bee locked up in a closet getting fisted by your pedophile uncle for the past six or seven months. After a short [...]
