interview by Michael McCarthy If Michael Sweet isn’t the hardest working man in the business, I don’t know who is. He’s currently on a break from touring with Stryper, but is he off vacationing in Paris or Barcelona? Nope. He’s hard at work on yet another solo album, which will be his 10th. Basically, Michael…

Yesterday Reckoning Daze, my debut novel, was listed in roughly a dozen discount e-book newsletters and was downloaded 1375 times!

Two of our favorite bands, co-headlining! We couldn’t be more excited about this. If ever there were two bands that needed to tour together it’s Blondie and Garbage. Because, let’s face it, there would be no Garbage if Blondie hadn’t paved the way for them. It’s no secret that Blondie’s Debbie Harry has been a…

You’d expect a song called “Away For The Weekend” to be some sicken, sweet, saccharine, shit, but not in this case… Tammy’s “Away For The Weekend” is an intoxicating, trippy ballad-esque tune that’s much more inclined to soothe your soul than get you dancing… Now, if you want to zone out and dance in your…

Wild Beasts’ synthy new album Boy King is out now and is a breath-taking alt pop masterpiece. It’s the sort of record Radiohead might be making if they weren’t so abstract these days. From the opening one-two punch of “Boy King” and “Tough Guy” through closer “Dreamliner,” there isn’t a bad song in the bunch.…

Extensive Boston Calling coverage will be coming soon, but for now a few words… Great food, fine adult beverages, good vibes from the friendly crowd and, yes, fantastic music; Friday night at Boston Calling’s May 2016 edition was spot on!

We love all three of the headliners this time: Sia, Disclosure and Robyn. We’re also psyched about Haim, Miike Snow, City & Colour, Christine and the Queens, BØRNS and The Vaccines. Here’s…

Our thoughts and prayers are with Paris tonight. I am especially saddened and upset by this news because I’ve been to Paris four times and truly feel as though my heart resides there. The reason I went to Paris was often to see concerts. Mylene Farmer at Bercy. Vanessa Paradis and Raphael at the Olympia.…

Boston Calling day two was a blast yesterday! We’ll have full coverage tomorrow, but for now a few words… DOOMTREE: High energy rapping with big beats… BC might not have a hip-hop headliner this time around, but Doomtree filled the rap void nicely. STEPHEN MALKMUS AND THE JICKS: Malkmus and company rocked the house with…
