Veterans of the 80's punk scene, Mustang Lightning is still riding strong on the talent of frontman Phil Deville. In 2005, they put out the Rockabilly album, Texas Voodoo Surf. Mustang Lightning's carefree yet energetic songs make them the ideal band for skaters, surfers and freestylers. These guys belong on a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack: Its fun and weird at the same time. Add this Band on Myspace [...]

For all you internet nerds, I'm sure you've seen this before. For all the cool kids who are never online, this is for you. These guys have become YouTube celebrities with these videos. Check out Smosh for more of their work. Below is their video for the Transformers theme song. Gets funnier half way through.

What the hell is a Velabonz? I have no idea where this band got its name from, but based on the four songs below, "Velabonz" deserves a place in the dictionary, and a spot in your CD collection. Out of Portland, this five-membered group somehow creates harmonious rock songs among their multi-layered tracks, and never dedicates itself to a certain genre of sound. This is a well balanced rock band that will cater to anyone who's not looking for something specific. They have videos for their songs at their website . [...]

If The Ramones were still alive and playing, The Briefs would be the perfect openers. Bursting out of Seattle, the Briefs have already become a European phenomenon, and have found a loyal US fan base in the niche punk scene. The energy behind their songs and the cultural throwbacks in their style has made me keep their tunes on repeat for the past few days. Notice how much "Poor and Weird" sounds like an original reconstruction of "Pinhead" by The Ramones. I love it. [...]

Underoath will be performing a free show in Tampa, FL tomorrow (Wednesday, June 20th) as part of Myspace.Com's Secret Show Series at the State Theatre. Doors open at 7:30 PM, but get their early so you get in. The State Theatre 687 Central Avenue St. Petersburg / Tampa, FL 33701

This is just bizzare. What are these workout instructors preparing their viewers for? And Connie Chang singing Oh, and another... Alex, this post goes out to you, and your way too common fetish.

I'm very excited that these guys gave me permission to post a web mix. Growing up, I found myself at many Fenix TX shows, drawn by their high energy punk rock sound. Their infectiously catchy song "Flight 601 (All I Got is Time)" lived on the radio, and brought the band countless fans. Now on an independent label, Houston's Fenix TX have continued their musical careers sans MCA, and are rocking harder than ever. Add this Band on Myspace [...]

Random Thoughts makes me nostalgic for memories I've never had. This Vancouver-based band delivers soft melodic tunes using nothing more than vocals and acoustic guitars. The recording quality on these tracks flat out suck, so I questioned putting this album up, but the songs themselves made up for the static. Add this Band on Myspace [...]

Dane Cook's HBO special "Tourgasm" starts this Sunday at 11. Check out more info here . I saw him live in 2003, and knew that he would acheive rockstar status. Here's one of my favorite clips:

Rockethouse sounds like a soundtrack to a European action flick that makes no sense, but looks cool. This Brooklyn band combines electronic rock with trance beats to create their signature sound. In Assaultive Mix, they take a cue from P-Diddy, and use a sample from a popular song from the good old days (couple of months ago). Rockethouse is not for everyone, but if you like Apex Twins or Chemical Brothers, RH may be a worthy addition to your mp3 collection. Add [...]
