“Wildfire” is the second single from Laura Burhenn, aka The Mynabirds, upcoming third album Lovers Know and it’s an infectious little ditty if ever there was one. Often, The Mynabirds music features politically-themed, or otherwise serious, subject matter. But this passionate, uptempo love song shows Burhenn’s lighter side, which I found refreshing.

Now, this is what I call an epic song. And what an amazing one it is, taking the listener on a thought-provoking sonic — and visual — journey. Quite the trip!

Over the course of Florence + The Machine’s third album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, she mentions the Virgin Mary, Persephone, Motown’s Delilah, Jonah and St. Jude, but Catholicism and mythology are very small influences compared to the worst thing in the world, which is what the album is truly about: heartbreak. Rather than…

This is one of my favorite tracks from Muse’s new album, Drones. Much of the album is spent being proggy, trying to be Queen or even David Bowie, but this song reminds me of the Muse I fell in love with nearly a decade ago. It’s just a great hard rock anthem. Get ready to…

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Matt Skiba has been the co-lead vocalist/guitarist of Alkaline Trio for roughly 20 years now and they’re one of the most successful punk rock bands of all-time. You don’t have to like them, but you have to give them that. They’ve put out eight albums and for the most part they have only grown…

Another smash from Muse’s forthcoming album Drones. I think I’ve finally reached the point where I feel like Muse are even better than Radiohead. Muse is constantly re-inventing itself, each album having a whole unique feel and themes. And yet the songs are accessible.

On the off chance that someone reading this isn’t already aware, Brandon Flowers is The Killers’ lead vocalist, who also plays guitar and keyboards, although not on every song. With the band, he’s released four original albums (Hot Fuss, Sam’s Town, Day & Age and Battle Born), a rarities compilation (Sawdust) and a live album…

If you daydream about someone starting an empire for you, then Of Monsters and Men’s “Empire” is about to become your new theme song. “As the wind fends off the waves / I countdown the days,” goes the poetic song. If the lyrics aren’t heavy, the music certainly is.

Before The Maine even hit the stage at the House of Blues in Boston on Tuesday, May 5th, 2015 the concert was a big success. There were three opening bands, all young and hungry, bursting with kinetic energy, and they each had plenty of fans in the house. The first up was Technicolors. They were…

Lenny Kravitz is an icon and a living legend. Even if you don’t like his music, you have to acknowledge that. For over 20 years now, he’s delivered his brand of pristine rock ‘n’ roll without ever giving a damn about what other artists were doing at the time.

I’ve been a fan of Muse from the very beginning and I usually like most things they do. Occasionally, though, they’ll start to lose me. To that end, I was beginning to fear that I wouldn’t like their forthcoming album Drones very much after hearing the previous singles. I’m not even sure why; they just…
