“When Damaged came out, it perfectly represented the depths and darkness of my particular teen angst,” Adam Grossman, guitarist for Angkor Wat, Skrew and Ministry, tells Alternative Press. “It was the soundtrack of my life at that point in time.” Any musician involved in the most extreme forms of musical expression owes their existence and […]

Side projects have the special ability to give artists the chance to express themselves in whatever manner they choose without snobby genre lords or the (sometimes self-imposed) shackles of their previous works confining their sonic decisions. Sometimes these new bands go in an intentionally more mainstream direction, while other times the word “commercial” is never […]

There’s something bold and brazen about the culture of the “punk lifer.” No cubicle farm could ever hold them. And they’ve spent more on tats and piercings than they have utility bills. With no fixed address, their only roots are in the scene. Fortunately for him, that life wasn’t good enough for Prince Terrence.  It’s […]

Hardcore bands mixing elements of rock ’n’ roll is an interesting take for the genre, but it’s clearly working for many of them as evidenced through the Southern hardcore scene. No, these bands don’t all hail from the Southern states, but by bringing in the slick and gritty elements of these rock acts, they’re injecting […]

Step aside sassy Wendy’s because Burger King continues to prove they are supreme on social media. The burger joint is not only rewarding patient Bronx NYC residents due to the Joker film, but they also roasted McDonald’s in the process. Burger King is giving free Whoppers to Bronx residents due to the influx of tourism. The tourism […]

After forming a band, jamming regularly and writing songs, there comes a point when the group have to take the plunge and perform in front of a captive audience. We let members of the Bronx, Grayscale, Palaye Royale, Cancer Bats, Marmozets, Parkway Drive, Municipal Waste, Deez Nuts, PVRIS, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and the […]

We’ve all had a bad day “at the office” before. A time that we don’t enjoy looking back at and cringe when we do, remembering what was absolutely not our finest hour is usually made considerably worse by the number of people who were there to witness the catastrophe in motion. We managed to get […]

Many moons ago, when MTV still mainly played music videos, Celebrity Deathmatch was one of their flagship programs (one which they will be reviving with Ice Cube).  The clay animation show saw two celebrities battle it out in the ring to settle a real or fictional beef, featuring matchups such as  Marilyn Manson vs. Ricky Martin, Courtney Love vs. Dave […]

Just when you thought your favorite band couldn’t be more impressive, they are. Members of PVRIS, Municipal Waste, Grayscale, the Bronx, Milk Teeth, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Palaye Royale, Neck Deep, the Faim and Bowling For Soup brag about their unusual talents.

You’d have to have a heart made of stone to not at least feel some mild nostalgia for Disney movies. From the classics to Lucasfilm, Marvel and Pixar—there are plenty of films to choose from featuring some of the most unique characters imaginable. Read more: We asked members of Cancer Bats, Frank Carter And The […]

Everyone knows that one song. Once you hear the opening cords, you immediately know this is the beginning of the end. This is the closing song, so it’s the last chance to sing your heart out and push that raspy voice one last glorious mile. While setlists among bands can vary from show to show, […]

The concept of having a musical guilty pleasure doesn’t even exist to some as they shamelessly enjoy listening to whatever they want to and don’t care what anybody else thinks. Others get a bit embarrassed that a certain song hits them in all the right places and will endlessly blush if anyone finds out, especially […]

There are songs that we know every single lyric to and can recite at any given moment. But sometimes, even the people who wrote the lyrics–or at least sing them nightly on tour–can have a total and utter mind blank while performing them live in front of a captive audience. Talk about an anxiety dream come […]

Being a teenager can be the most uncomfortable stage of our lives—physically and socially at least. Most of us remember our youth more vividly than we’d care to, especially when we’re in a store, restaurant or venue and that song comes on. You know that one track in particular or maybe anything off a certain record […]
