#albumoftheday = VEGA: WHO WE ARE
A lot of recent albums by the heavy metal bands I grew up with have disappointed me. The latest Def Leppard album, for example. I’ve listened to that one at least 15 times and it does nothing for me. I just can’t get into it. I think it’s their first terrible album, really. Getting to…

#songoftheday = PURO INSTINCT: “TELL ME”
Puro Instinct’s 2011 debut Headbangers in Ecstasy was a dream pop record that washed over you like 65 degree sea water on a 95 degree day; refreshing, to say the least. In fact, I’ve heard countless dream pop records since and Headbangers is still my favorite. It just takes me away to some other, less…

I hadn’t had that much fun since Boston Calling last September, no kidding. So much…

interview by Michael McCarthy Yesterday we brought you an in-depth interview with the uber-talented singer/songwriter Dalea, during which we focused on every aspect of her music career, especially her incredible new album Visitor. There is more to Dalea than her music, though. In addition to communicating with the world through her songs, she also gives…
They are so so talented and just simply amazing. I look forward to seeing them again since the last time…
I think you mean complaint, not compliant. This was a great review. Awesome of them to show up even after…
I agree that this is a great record. It is different than all the rest as you say in that…
J is not the Cody brothers’ cousin. He is their nephew.
