We love comebacks for the same reason we love those newfangled anniversary tours: sweet, sweet nostalgia. That's assuming the comebacks are as good as we remember them—too much time away can lead to letdown. For this list, we rounded up 14 of the best original songs released by bands this year who haven't had any […]

Throwdown frontman Dave Peters brings us inside the studio for a brief interview as the band recorded their latest album, Intolerance.  “It kind of took a little bit of getting back in the swing of things in order to feel like I was in that band mode. With the exception of my throat giving out on […]

As far as brootal cover songs go, hip-hop ones tend to take a backseat to their poppy counterparts. (There have been five Punk Goes Pop compilations and only one Punk Goes Crunk.) For metalcore bands, hip-hop covers are far from easy to pull off, but when the speed and intricacies of both genres fuse, the […]

Throwdown Intolerance Orange County, California, heavyweights Throwdown have returned with a true throwback of an album. Gone are the bloated song lengths and Ozzfest-thirsty moments. Intolerance picks up where 2005’s groove-metal-leaning, hardcore-based Vendetta left off—only at the band’s current abilities, which have never been stronger. Frontman Dave Peters is still pissed, and he may as […]

Recently, an article was posted that portrayed both myself and the record label I own, No Sleep Records, in a very poor way. This was due to a miscommunication/misunderstanding from the writer as to what the piece would be about. On top of that, the article was edited poorly and contained numerous errors due to […]

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” isn’t always the best policy, Hammurabi, but sometimes it just feels too damn good to get back at someone who crosses you. Musicians have the perfect platform for vengeance, so there is no shortage of songs with horrific lyrical violence, showing off to haters and […]
