Against Me! make triumphant return to stage with first live album in 10 years

Against Me! 23 Live Sex Acts As Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace points out in one of this disc’s song introductions, it’s been nearly 10 years since her band’s previous live album (Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live in London!!!) was released. 23 Live Sex Acts proves just how far the band have come since their early days. […]

AWOLNATION’s Aaron Bruno talks that crucial sophomore album

Topping the runaway success of 2011’s Megalithic Symphony was a task AWOLNATION creator Aaron Bruno did not take lightly upon entering the studio to create his second album. Written, performed and produced entirely by Bruno, RUN is the result of the California songwriter’s years of very private work that he’s excited to finally share with […]

Between The Buried And Me frontman gets proggy, industrial on 'Modern Noise'

Thomas Giles Modern Noise Despite the heavy-handedness of the second solo album by Thomas Giles, the alter ego of Between The Buried And Me’s vocalist/keyboardist Tommy Rogers, the 46-minute epic opus ends with Nintendo sounds of the title-track closing song, so you know Modern Noise isn’t all serious gloom and doom. What we do get […]

Tim Barry starts to settle down on 'Lost & Rootless'

Tim Barry Lost & Rootless Honesty and integrity go a long way. Just ask Richmond, Virginia’s Tim Barry, a man who has spent the better part of his adult life singing punk, protest and folk songs of one kind or another. On Lost & Rootless, Barry’s sixth solo release, one of punk rock’s most beloved […]

Great Sale Day - Wild And Chunky

Great Sale Day Wild And Chunky Great Sale Day is a new project by current and ex-members of U.K. hardcore bands such as Basement, Your Demise, Unholy Majesty and Breaking Point. But if you’re expecting mosh breakdowns and gang shout-alongs, that’s not the point at all here. Instead, we get a ’90s alt-rock worship album […]

Man Overboard – Passing Ends EP

Man Overboard Passing Ends EP Stopgap EPs can be a delicate matter that usually need to be handled with a certain amount of open-mindedness. Bands that are between albums take the chance to knock off a few songs, maybe try some things they wouldn’t put onto a full-length, and almost always chuck in some acoustic […]

Rancid - ...Honor Is All We Know

Rancid …Honor Is All We Know Before we go any further: Yes, …Honor Is All We Know, the first Rancid album in nearly six years, absolutely rules. But did any of you Rancid-heads out there ever have any doubt? Now let us tell you why it rules… The one big expectation with Berkeley’s favorite (or […]

Transit - Joyride

Transit Joyride There’s something about the pattern of the past three albums by Boston indie punks Transit that feels like a band either on the cusp of something incredible or a complete collapse. There’s an easily identifiable willingness to push their sound on Joyride, which is admirable, but the band are also keenly aware of […]

Sunshine State - Pour

Sunshine State Pour It’s unfortunate that most of the attention put on Sunshine State, will be surrounding drummer Warren Oakes’ former tenure with Against Me! (see, there we go again). The drummer-turned-restaurant owner made the difficult choice of leaving the popular punk band six years ago, but his new musical outlet is interesting enough to make […]
