Now, the Fall Out Boy bassist is part of one of the most popular power punk bands in the world, has a five-month-old baby with Hollywood starlet Ashlee Simpson, heads up a record label, clothing line, and production company, and co-owns a New York nightclub.

The biggest question that begs answering when it comes to this 29-year-old is how the hell he manages to do it all. “I sleep about three hours a night—that’s probably part of it. The other part is you just surround yourself with really intelligent people and…

The long-awaited reunion of Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont, who last toured in 2004 before an extended hiatus, has finally arrived, almost 15 years after No Doubt’s landmark release Tragic Kingdom and a bewildering 22 years into the band’s eternally youthful career.

Even now, with all of No Doubt sans Kanal married with children, the vivacious foursome embody a wide-eyed and innocent spirit that has perhaps more than anything endeared them to an incredibly wide range of followers. Well, that and one…

In fact, Shane Told, who has fronted Silverstein since they first started playing almost a decade ago, says he’s always touring or about to tour and can’t imagine life any other way. “I think if we toured like a normal band and then started doing this, we’d probably go crazy. It’s a weird life. I’m just constantly waiting for the next tour. I’ve never been at home not knowing the next time I was going…

Having first dipped his toes into solo artist territory with his side project, I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business, following TEN’s last performance at the 2007 Bamboozle Festival, Enders started work on his Ace Enders And A Million Different People.

Following up last year’s The Secret Wars, Enders returned just last month with the more exploratory When I Hit The Ground, further expanding his emo and indie roots as well as maintaining his mastery over hooky…

The Cobra Starship frontman parties to the max, doesn’t give a shit about a lot of things, survives on very little sleep—if any at all—and is really just out to have a damn good time. Speaking on the phone from Mesa, Arizona, at the start of their massive spring tour with Fall Out Boy, Saporta was excited, open and down to earth. And in just 30 minutes, the self-confessed “dirt bag with a heart” went a long way in proving that he does in fact embody a lot of what the…

They have admittedly avoided the “if you scream it, they will come” mentality of most bands who throw in a breakdown and pig squeals just to sell a few records; KOS are staying true to their pop and punk roots and the teeny boppers of the tri-state area are loving it!

I had no idea what I was getting into when I got in touch with…
