#262 – April 2010

IN THE RAG >>>
MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA

With two powerful records and endorsements from big-name bands, the Southern alt-rock contingent are poised to make a huge impact. Rest assured, whatever happens next will be on their terms.

FEATURES >>>
ANDREW W.K.

Charismatic figure or imagination figment? The mystery surrounding the rock ’n’ roll Tony Robbins can finally be told-well, a little…

FOUR YEAR STRONG
The New England popcore quintet are stoked and confident about their future. The only thing that can stop them? Approximately $10 million…

MGMT
America’s favorite psychedelic-pop duo quickly learned that both the red carpet and irony are some dead scenes.

FROM FIRST TO LAST
For all of the firings and defections in their band, FFTL should probably install a revolving door in their practice space. But they’re not slowing down for anything.

SPECIALS >>>
FRONT & CENTER: THE NEW CLASS OF ’10
Sure, band singers usually get the most attention, so why stop now? We caught up with a dozen up-and-coming frontmen (and lady), and had them take time out from their vocal warm-ups to pose for a photo special. Pin these pics on your wall, then head out to see them in action on various tours and festivals this spring and summer.
