The Dropkick Murphys at Houston's House of Blues. St. Patrick's Day is not too far away, but we are going to be in the clutches of Austin's South by Southwest cluster f**k that day. So a Dropkick Murphys visit to Houston's House of Blues was certainly a good way to take an early dip into the drunken, green part of the season. The Murphys are, of course, Boston's answer to Irish rockers The Pogues and perhaps the true heirs apparent to those punk rock pioneers. Led by the tandem [...]

With music going in the direction that it is these days, it's always nice to hear an artist create sound that takes us back a few decades. Luckily, we've found one nestled into the sandy beaches of Miami. Ryan Mahon is an old soul in a young body who creates an unnameable genre of music with influences ranging from Thin Lizzy to The Strokes . We dug his music and decided to reach out for an interview to hear what he had to say. Tell us a [...]
Quick...immediate names that spring to mind when the mention of Canadian musical acts come up in conversation? If you are imagining Celine Dion, Nickelback, Bryan Adams, KD Lang, Barenaked Ladies, Hedley, Wide Mouth Mason, Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, Swollen Members, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne or Alanis Morissette...shame on you. Although these bands and (questionable) musicians helped to shape the landscape of the Canadian Music Scene, they do little convey how talented our country truly is. I meant to put this post together after Arcade Fire pulled off their Grammy victory for [...]
Trying to recall St. Patricks' Days past is always a hazardous endeavor. If you can't remember one for some, ah, reason ... then you can't remember any! For the past seven years or so St. Paddy's Day shenanigans have gotten a little mixed up for me. That's because it always falls in the middle of SXSW madness - the beer always flowed, except it was for other reasons. Well this year I'm taking some Irish music with me ... not that there won't be some playing around Austin during the festivities. Irish music is a lot like the [...]

The chaos continues to build around the Florida branch of RockSellout, with much in store for the coming week. Perhaps that explains why I found it fitting to shake off the Monday blues with an eclectic selection of tracks this week. The Mahones Here's a perfect song to clear out those alcohol-induced cobwebs in the head. Is it Irish? Is it Punk? Is it both? Who cares - it's Monday morning and best to leave the thinking [...]
