Rock ’n’ roll has given us its fair share of musician couples throughout the years, from John and Yoko to Kurt and Courtney to, uh, Chad and Avril. (They’re not all winners, folks.) We’re counting down 10 of our favorite pairings from AP’s scene, past and present (we’re saving “future” for our secret slashfic Tumblr—don’t […]

Recently, as we were finishing this year’s 100 Bands You Need To Know special (AP 309, on sale March 4), our annual look forward at what the newest noise in our scene is, we noticed a whole bunch of publications were looking back, specifically at one album: Green Day’s Dookie, which celebrated its 20th anniversary […]

Transplants In A Warzone Previous Transplants albums basically felt like a vehicle for Tim Armstrong and Travis Barker to step outside the punk confines of their full-time gigs (Rancid and Blink-182, respectively), dabbling with bits of funk, hip-hop and electronica.

Jimmy Cliff Rebirth Jimmy Cliff is not a likely candidate for the American Recordings-style, late-career comeback. Since his 1970s heyday—most notably with the game-changing soundtrack of The Harder They Come—the singer has maintained his status as one of reggae’s most dependable artists. But there’s been a slick sheen and bloodless professionalism with much of his […]
