Most people would annihilate their significant other if they were required to spend 22 hours a day together (with the other two hours set aside for bathroom breaks). But not super couple Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino, who profess to constantly being by each other’s sides. In fact, they’ve made…

HOBOKEN, NJ—Guitars were bashed and people drunkenly smashed as California quadruplet Dead Country rocked the nails off the wooden interior of Maxwell’s on April 1. The music was so jagged that it gushed through the sound system and caused sparks to emit from the amps, setting the stage literally on…

Like featured clips aired on any episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos, the edgy soul of punk rock has received some serious shots to the testicles these days. Need proof?

HOBOKEN, NJ—I first discovered the surf rock sound of The Raveonettes while making my way to New Jersey’s underground live music venue, The Meatlocker, back in 2007. A bunch of filthy punk kids—including myself —crammed into a heatless, rickety and rundown Honda on an arctic winter night to catch a…

Musical talent? Check. Tattoos? Check. Perfectly coifed ‘do’s made to look like bed head? Check.  Swoon-worthiness? Double check.  A Rocket To The Moon seems to have all the requirements to make them Fueled By Ramen’s new moneymaker for 2009.
