Although this year’s Warped Tour has been dominated by many hardcore-punk and pop-punk bands, there is one band that joined the last leg of the tour with a different genre of music from the Warped Tour norm. Deas Vail, a Christian indie-rock band from Arkansas may seem like an odd […]

FRIDAY by The Coto Twins Ask an average person what the Electric Daisy Carnival is and they will probably say anything from “I don’t know” to “that electric music concert at the Coliseum.” Ask someone who was there and they’ll say “awesome,” “amazing,” “massive.” As of now, Electric Daisy Carnival […]

After Midnight Project, an alternative-rock band from Los Angeles, are enjoying the last few dates of Warped Tour 2010.

A man born in South Africa, raised in Philadelphia and now living in Boulder, Col. could make nothing less than beautiful music. Gregory Alan Isakov, who names Bruce Springsteen and Iron and Wine as two of his main influences, released his most recent album, This Empty Northern Hemisphere, last summer, […]

It must be a tough gig opening up for Cage the Elephant at House of Blues in San Diego. All of the anxious future mosh pitters judging your level of hardcore, while waiting for the headliner’s lead singer to begin screaming into a microphone whilst sweatily thrashing about the stage. […]

The Sasquatch Festival returned to the Gorge Amphitheater of George, Washington for its 9th annual affair.  The famously gorgeous vantage of the Columbia River Gorge played background to another stellar lineup of tunes for the 3-day Memorial Weekend Festival.
