Banging the Drums: An Interview with Johnny Rabb of Collective Soul

Posted Aug 15, 2018

3 comments

interview by Michael McCarthy I’m going to start off by admitting something here: I’d lost track of Collective Soul over the years. Like millions of people, I’d bought their first few albums during their heyday in the ’90s and I enjoyed them quite a bit. However, by the time their fourth album, Dosage,...

ROCKIN’ THE O.C: AN INTERVIEW WITH CRAIG BROOMBA OF FILMSPEED

interview by Michael McCarthy I was sitting around bored one night, frustrated that I wasn’t finding anything that I was in the mood to listen to when I decided to check out some random albums being presented to me by publicists. It’s certainly not uncommon that I listen to things they send me,...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: Dead Letter Circus – “In Plain Sight”

Posted Aug 24, 2015

No comments

The band Dead Letter Circus immediately reminds me of is Silverchair -- and not just because they're both from Australia. And I'm not talking about Silverchair's early work when they were more or less a Nirvana clone. I'm talking about Silverchair's last three albums (Neon Ballroom,...

Posted Jul 14, 2015

I love it when artists do covers and give them their own interpretation rather than going the paint-by-numbers route. And Australia's Green Buzzard have totally re-envisioned Tobias Jesso Jr's "Hollywood" here. Where the original version was a somber piano ballad, Green Buzzard's version is uptempo and...

Review by Barnaby William Thornton Alt. rockers Argonaut tried to better their brilliant debut. And they succeeded! TV’s intro channels the theme tune to ‘News at Ten’ via The Twilight Zone – an ethereal and ominous appointment for you to tune in and f***ing listen – before the synths quickly switch to a...

House of Blues, Boston MA April 9 2015 review and photos by Joshua Bernard I had previously seen OK Go for the first time about 6 months earlier at The Paradise, a much smaller venue in Boston. While The Paradise is legendary, it’s much too small to adequately host a band like OK...

Posted Apr 1, 2015

The Maine are five albums in now and they’re still living up to the title of their first: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. And while each of their albums has a different vibe, they still sound like The Maine we heard on their debut. How many bands today can you say that about, five...
