Billy Talent have released the second chapter of their episodic short film Forgiveness. Based on the song “Forgiveness II,” which was released by the band last November, the new episode features gripping performances from UFC superstars Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Rose Namajunas. “Forgiveness I+II,” described by Loudwire as a “musical journey,” was the first new music from Billy Talent since […]
Big Rig Dollhouse. Say it with me; Big Rig Dollhouse. You instantly get nostalgic in a new way. Not because you’ve said it; but because you went out to listen to their music and that’s how it made you feel in all the good ways. I can hear a touch of several influences with Motorhead […]
Closing in on a year since my review of Another Day Dawns previous release, A Different Life, they’re back. Psycho, I believe, was the single from that release and set the tone of a hard rock band with grunge mixed in. Stranger, to release Jan 31st, picks up where A Different Life left off. Recorded […]
One of the most rewarding (but equally frustrating) parts of reviewing music for this site is that there’s so many artists that deserve far more credit for their craft than what the mainstream publications are willing to offer. In a fair and just world, Elijah Newman & The SideEffects would be a household name and […]
It happens. Every once in a while it happens. When it does, it’s an amazing feeling. In this case I’m simply talking about a band, or a particular song, that takes you back and brings the life out of today all at once. You just feel good and dive into the music head first and […]
When I agreed to write this review, I fully intended to write a full, comprehensive breakdown for anyone unfamiliar with Rough Dreams. With one EP and this single under their belts, it’s more than obvious these dudes are prepared to be your next favorite band. Here’s the problem; I’m legitimately speechless. I’ve been sitting with […]
If you want peace, prepare for peace While this goes dead set against an article I did many years ago where I discussed the normalization of extreme behavior, maybe it’s time we look at things from that perspective. In my years on this earth I’ve come to find you find what you’re looking for. One […]
Not to take a swipe at the other contributors of this site, but I like to think I’m the black sheep of the black sheep of Renegade Radio. Many of my interests are of the “niche;” if Iceberg is going to hand me the aux cord after playing some Metallica, I’m likely going to say […]
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Many bands are content with treading familiar waters. This sound sells well. This is your sing along. Here’s a slower variant of the songs you heard before. Rinse, repeat, send it to the presses. Punk rock is no stranger to this formula. Three chords and some lyrics […]
Blacktop Mojo has been a station favorite ever since finding them through their publicist, Tom George from TAG Publicity. Always on the lookout for up and coming bands, I checked them out and fell in love with the sound. Since then we’ve been fortunate enough to interview the singer, Matt James, in “an evening with” […]
