THE RETURN OF THE ART BRUTES
The third installment in our sporadic series on “rockers who art,” features members of MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, CIRCA SURVIVE and DANCE GAVIN DANCE among others who are pushing artistic envelopes the way their music flexes stereo speakers.
Features >>>
THE GHOST INSIDE
For decades, the hardcore ethos has been immersed in the dogma of scene unity and thinking for yourself. The Ghost Inside create music and lyrics you that resonate long after the show is over.
LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES
Chris Roetter is an affable guy, who will engage in any kind of conversation you want. Just remember to talk to him,
not at him.
THE AMITY AFFLICTION
Joel Birch worked through the troubles in his life by getting the anguish out in his lyrics. Not surprisingly, his fans are paying it forward.
GLASS CLOUD
Nobody joins a band to be miserable (unless you’re in the Ramones). Which is why before they wrote a single song, the members of Glass Cloud came together as friends, first.
