Green Day is the single band that this up and coming generation of pop-punkers has looked to for inspiration. From blue-haired Billie Joe Armstrong covered in mud at Woodstock ’94 to “Seinfeld” using “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” as the theme for its last show, they’ve truly become iconic…

While the name alone would be enough to earn the Disc Of The Week title, as a bonus, the CD kicks ass. Anything on Elektrohasch Records, owned by Stefan Koglek of the awe-inspiring desert rock outfit Colour Haze, is more or less a safe bet, but The Kings Of Frog…

With youth, creativity and the rock press on their side, Kings Of Leon have just about thrust themselves into a position of doing no wrong. Their sophomore album Aha Shake Heartbreak and subsequent opening stint for U2 solidified them as one of the premiere up and coming acts…

They’re from Manchester, they have guitars and raw production, they have to suck, right? It’s a pretty mathematical formula, and one which Nine Black Alps (who take their name from a Sylvia Plath line) are only too happy to defy.

Really, this could be a three-word review. For anyone who has ever heard them, or experienced their live show, all I’d really have to say here is “Dude, it’s Clutch,” and it would justify their being Disc Of The Week.

While Alan Greenspan wouldn’t release the exact figures at press time, professional estimates indicate that hard rockers Velvet Revolver now comprise no less than 27 percent of the United States’ GDP. This should surprise no one familiar with the band, which is comprised of former members of such relative unknowns…

A Monday night in the swirling urban banality of NYC, the air cool but not cold easing its way through the end of April, and I, marching into a packed Joe’s Pub, wondering what happened to all the smoke in this lounge, daddy-o?

Les Claypool protege Gabby La La is…

The reuniting of Dashboard Confessional frontman Chris Carrabba with his original outfit, Further Seems Forever, is, without a doubt, the big story of this year’s Bamboozle. If you don’t think so, just flip the page over to that quotes feature. Even the bands playing want to see it! So, we…

Some people are willing to go through life and take things as they come. Others look at the world and see potential for turning things inside out. For this reason, I say to you that if there’s one underground band you don’t want to miss at this year’s Bamboozle, it’s…
