We are all ABOUT some Monsoon over here. One interview in five months is just not enough, so we came back for more. I met up with Sienna Chandler (vocals, guitar), Scott Andrews (bass, vocals), and Joey Kegel (percussion) backstage before their album release show at the Georgia Theatre (the only venue they hadn’t yet…
Last night’s 57th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was not one for the books for several reasons: mainly, the lack of awards presented in the entire three-and-a-half-hour broadcast – a paltry sum of NINE out of the 83 total categories! So what happened in the other three hours that awards weren’t being broadcast? A bloated roster of performances…
Title Fight took their music to a new level this Tuesday after the release of their new album Hyperview. Since releasing their first album with SideOne Dummy Records in 2011, this band has always helped fans relinquish their inner angst with those up-in-your-face metal vocals, fast drums, and goosebump-forming guitar and bass solos similar to…
The most important night in music is this coming Sunday, February 8. The purpose of the awards is to honor excellence in the music industry. While some of the nominations across several categories this year have notable snubs, here are our predictions for this year’s winners. Album of the Year: Sam Smith In the Lonely Hour While all the…
Vinyl Mag sort of has a soft spot for Murder By Death. MBD combines haunting melodies with a classical element in most, if not all, of their albums. The same goes for their newest album, Big Dark Love. Their timeless style and deep, smooth vocals are the signature of MBD, and combining upbeat melodies with…
Amason’s new album, Sky City, takes listeners on a journey through cosmic chaos, only to bring you back to earth a little bit changed. To start off, this Swedish band is absolutely filled the some of Stockholm’s finest. Amanda Bergman from Idiot Wind seduces listeners with her oh-so-raspy voice, leaving you with nothing but goose bumps….
Since the early 2000s, filmmakers everywhere have become overly obsessed with documentary-style filming, where the movie seems to be more of a home video rather than a full-blown Hollywood film. This is called retroscripting, a technique in which has been used professionally in movies like Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. After many years and…
The Blink-182 feud continues, as Tom DeLonge (guitarist/vocalist) defends himself from his former bandmates’ (Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker) accusations that he was “disrespectful and ungrateful,” as well as their statement that he quit the band through his manager without doing them the courtesy of informing them directly. In his (ridiculously long) Facebook diatribe, DeLonge condescendingly…
Last year was a great year for Nordic musicians, between the breakout of Tove Lo, the release of Lykke Li’s critically acclaimed third album, the much hyped Röyksopp/Robyn EP and the inevitable breakup of The Knife. There’s certainly never a shortage of forward-thinking musical exports coming out of Sweden, with many pop music super producers…
If you were alive Monday, you probably heard about the scandal involving Tom DeLonge quitting Blink-182. It started when a press release from the band’s publicist was shared, and it was reported that Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio would replace DeLonge at the band’s performance at the Musink Music and Tattoo Festival. Barker and Hoppus…
