Remember when Chimaira guitarist Matt DeVries was all like: "Yea, I'll help Six Feet Under, I'll play the bass for them." And then he was all like, "Yea, I'm over Chimaira now, I'm going to focus on Six Feet Under." Well now, he's all like "I guess I'm over Six Feet Under now too." At ...
I was super bummed when the bassist Henry Selva announced that his band The Human Abstract had broken up, but it seems that he may have spoken too soon. Guitarist Dean Herrera addressed the "break up" or lack thereof on his Formspring page saying: As far as I'm concerned we aren't broken up, that was ...
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO!
A bittersweet breakup album for the 21st century.
The ARETHA FRANKLIN calls off her engagement alert ! The she-singer won't be walking down the aisle any time soon to meet the her he-lover, the WILLIE WILKERSON, any time soon as the FRANKLIN has called off their engagement. Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time. We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive [...]

While it has been nearly fourteen years since front man Ben Gibbard created Death Cab for Cutie in 1998, I, for one, am glad the group hasn't strayed from their delightful indie pop sound. It isn't hard to love "Underneath the Sycamore" on the first listen; a song coming from from DCFC's seventh studio album, Codes and Keys . Gibbard's voice and lyrics continue to be sweet without becoming saccharine, while the track's melody may or may not be dangerously catchy enough to take up a week-long residency in your head. While I cringed when the [...]
The Sleeping have announced an indefinite hiatus.
Today was not a good day for Oceano. Vocalist Adam Warren posted on his Facebook wall "I'm shocked, but well... If Killswitch can go on after 9 years and 3 albums without Mr. Jones on vox.... Why couldn't a certain band with out me? (2 albums and a mere 3 years) Just sayin." That pretty ...
All My Life I Will Wait To Attain It By Taylor K. Long At some point in our 20s, we inevitably feel what can best be described as a burden of proof. We begin noticing milestones, the age of achievements. How Michelangelo was 29 when he finished "David." How Franz Liszt was famous and touring Europe by the age of 30. The stream of brilliant young minds is endless; every generation will have its Mark Zuckerbergs and Beyoncés and Téa Obrehts to compare themselves to. This feeling causes us to scratch at the walls, imagined or otherwise, desperate to push [...]
In a shocking announcement on their official website, Killswitch Engage have announced they parted ways with Howard Jones. Here is the official statement: To our family, friends and fans: We have decided to continue on without Howard Jones as the singer of Killswitch Engage. We love Howard and are thankful for the nine years that ...
Another casualty of the music business! Over the holiday break, it seems the final nail was put into the coffin of The Human Abstract, as the band have pretty much announced they have broken up. Earlier this year, they were dealt a crushing blow when vocalist Travis Richter decided to leave the band. They found ...

New Brunswick hardcore group Black Kites have called it quits.
Some sad news for stoner death metal fans everywhere. Cannabis Corpse have announced that Andy "Weedgrinder" Horn and guitarist Nick "Nikropolis" Poulos have left the band. The band are currently looking for replacements. If you're interested, e-mail Landphil. Meanwhile, the band still plans to play the Cory Smoot memorial show on January 7th, and will ...
Ten Best Albums of 2011 So, the thing with my list this year is that I've been fortunate enough to have either shared a stage, been on a movie soundtrack together, recorded an album with, spent many quality years as close friends, or at the very least, created some memories over some good times with all but two of the bands represented here. However, none of these disclosures swayed my opinion in naming their recordings as the best to come out this year, they're just all that damn good, and I just happen to know them. [...]
As we approach the end of yet another year, we find ourselves looking back -- not just at the good (of which next week we'll be discussing plenty of, with the publication of the Thrash Hits Albums Of The Year lists), but the bad. Over the past twelve months, some of our favourite bands decided [...]
A few weeks back we reported that Testament was enlisting some heavy hitter hired guns to play drums on their new album due to an injury suffered by then-current drummer Paul Bostaph. The band got Chris Adler and Gene "The Machine" Hoglan to fill in on drumming duties for their new album, The Dark Roots ...
Veteran New Brunswick rock group, Thursday have called it a day.
Joseph Arthur is a low-key type of guy, having gone vastly unnoticed and living humbly as the existence of a shy folk-star; one whom everyone's heard of, but nobody really knows.
