interview by Michael McCarthy So far, the first and only time I’ve seen Quiet Riot live was in ’93 or ’94 when they were promoting the album Terrified, a record I’d still recommend to fans of the band’s early albums. The show was at an underground club – literally, it was a small basement level…

interview by Michael McCarthy Mystery Skulls, otherwise known as Luis Dubuc, was something of a mystery to me prior to reading the press release for his new album, One of Us. All I knew was that I loved the Mystery Skulls debut album, Forever. You see, I had no idea if Mystery Skulls was a…

I’m only labeling this new Garbage video as a red hot video instead of a song of the day because “No Horses” already was a song of the day when they debuted the audio a week or so ago. Anyway, this is the apocalypse as seen by Garbage and director Scott Stuckey and, well, everything that…

“No turning back…” Our latest song of the day is Alvvays’ new tune, “In Undertow,” a mix of synth pop, shoegaze and alternative rock that is ripe for rejoicing because, well, it’s totally awesome! If you’re in the middle of winter right now, listen to this and it’ll thaw you out. It’s so sunshiny it…

interview by Michael McCarthy As you may recall, I wrote a concert review of a Mr. Big show I caught at Mohegan Sun Casino a few weeks back. Finally getting to see them live after being a fan since 1989 was a dream come true. I’d seen almost every heavy metal band back in the…

“This is the apocalypse,” sings Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson as their new single “No Horses” comes to its chilling conclusion. It starts off sounding like it’s going to be a synth pop song, albeit a dark one, with Shirley singing, “They’ll love you,

A couple of weeks ago Selena Gomez surprised fans with the release of a new single in the form of the Talking Heads-sampling “Bad Liar.” Selena played all the main characters in the video in which she has a crush on her father’s mistress, who happens to be her gym teacher.

Well, kids, the dance-pop world has two new mascots to worship. One of the guys — assuming they’re guys — wears a fox mask and the other one wears a human mask except that it looks like he’s a human from Gorrilaz.

interview by Michael McCarthy I recently fell in love with Canadian alt-pop singer-songwriter Adaline’s new album Aquatic, which contains a treasure trove of thought-provoking lyrics, sung over some of the most seductive basslines ever recorded and blissed-out beats that mix the organic and the electronic to perfection. I must also add that her vocals are…

I loved Suzanne Santo in honeyhoney. I listened to their First Rodeo album on heavy rotation when it came out and still play it from time to time. And if her new single “Ghost in My Bed” is any indication her next album will be just as amazing.
