Although a lot of states have official songs, Ohio might be the only one to have an official 'rock' song. In 1985, the Ohio General Assembly gave that designation to "Hang on Sloopy," the familiar 1960s hit by the McCoys, described as a Dayton group at the time. The only problem was that the McCoys actually began in neighboring Indiana. In all fairness, Union City, Indiana, sits right on the Ohio state line (and not too far from Dayton), but it was there that some talented high-schoolers first got together. Lead guitarist [...]
Adam Levine of Maroon 5 Saturday Night Live came back last night (November 5) from a mini hiatus and they returned with pop/rockers Maroon 5 as their musical guest.

Unfortunately the single's featured singer, pop star Christina Aguilera , did not come out to perform the tune with them. Christina will be on hand to [...]
Unless, like me, you're a Red Sox fan, there really wasn't too much to cheer about during last night's Rangers game at The Ballpark in Arlington. The team got beat badly, losing 13-2. Still, the... Continue reading "Meet BBoy McCoy, The Reason You Heard Dubstep at The Rangers Game Last Night" >
What McCoy's Public House lacks in acoustics and tricked-out sound boards, it makes up for in decent vibes, friendly service and microbrews. A tricky venue to book, McCoy's tends to attract some of the more accessible acts — country, singer-songwriters, indie-pop, the mellow stuff.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

After conquering the charts with Gym Class Heroes and introducing Bruno Mars to the world, Travie McCoy takes his unique skills to this year's Bamboozle Festival, but not without a good game of ping pong under his belt first ... Let's briefly discuss the two careers of Travie McCoy. The first one involves his band, Gym Class Heroes. Formed in 1997 with his long-time friend Matt McGinley, the group is best described as "alternative hip-hop" -- they mix quirky lyrics, samples, and left-field cameos with tracks ranging from party anthems to somewhat more thoughtful meditations. After being signed to [...]

Maybe the reason Jimmy Clausen went undrafted on day one was not only his lack of sucess in college but his aweful hair. As a Notre Dame hater I could not be happier to see Clausen get bounced to the second round of the draft (so I assume), but this still wasn't the biggest surprise of day one of the NFL draft. -The Old Man click below for full recap The biggest surprise of the first round of the draft has to be the Denver Broncos trading up to take [...]

I can pinpoint the exact moment that I became fascinated with Pentagram—exactly 20 seconds into 'Buzz Saw.' That's how long it took to feel both utterly crushed and suddenly awakened by all that is good and heavy in rock 'n' roll. Front man and mastermind Bobby Liebling remains a human hurricane and will be playing Pentagram's first-ever L.A. show this Friday. This interview by Kurt Midness.
During last year's Magic tour, Bruce Springsteen started taking requests from fans who brought homemade signs with them. It was a clever and very effective way of getting the audience involved. The practice has grown during the current Working On A Dream Tour with hundreds of fans getting creative with their signs and ridiculous with their requests. Springsteen is arguably one of the greatest songwriters in history with hundreds, if not thousands, of songs in his catalog. However, it seems fans want to hear him play other people's songs. The band has ripped through [...]
