Playing live at Stardust Video and Coffee in Orlando, FL Happy New Year! This has been a great year with lots of stuff happening. I made 4 EP albums with 4 different producers, the wonderful guys in my backing band.

I had a great time playing at the Cock'n Bull last night. It felt like a mini festival as we were 4 bands playing, had a bonfire going and the stage was outside in a little party tent. I met some really cool people and the other bands were great too. As if it's not enough with this blog, Facebook and everything I've decided to start yet another blog to keep up during this tour. It's called "My morning view" and I'm posting a picture from where I wake up every day. As we're traveling in the RV, [...]

♫ The Checks - Candyman Shimmer (previously praised ) I wish I loved this LP more cause Alice By The Moon was one of 092s best but this LP feels a bit meh. Good stuff but where is the epic-ness? [Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?] [...]

Akribi photo by Alexa Andersson Soon the last part of H.A.T.E will be released by Swedish metal band Akribi .

Weep for the band's plastic fork misadventures! For the [...]

Everybody knows famed pop-culture author Chuck Klosterman is a metalhead, as he wrote a book about discovering it while growing up in Fargo. So it was quite interesting to read his take on the abominable collaboration between Lou Reed & Metallica, and the man couldn't be more biting and on point. I highly recommend reading his review ...
