"Skyrockets in flight / Get ready for a fight!" proclaims Butch Walker excitedly before a "hey, hey" during the bridge of his ultra-catchy ode to the end of the world, appropriately entitled, "End of the World (One More Time)."

#songoftheday = Suzanne Santo (of HoneyHoney fame): “Ghost in My Bed” (produced by Butch Walker)
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....
CATCHING UP 7.0: JENNY LEWIS, BUTCH WALKER, ADIAM, EL PERRO DEL MAR
I caught Jenny Lewis live in Boston at the The Wang Theatre in Boston this past Tuesday night, 9/13/16. What a fantastic show. It was one of her 10th anniversary of Rabbit Fur Coat shows, Rabbit Fur Coat being her first solo effort. The album featured the exquisite Watson Twins on backing vocals...

CATCHING UP, VERSION 1.0: Róisín Murphy, Trick or Treat, Butch Walker, T.O.L.D., Perfume, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hitomi Yaida
by Michael McCarthy, editor/publisher As I mentioned in my letter from the editor, my focus at this point is on interviews, something I think I’m much better at than writing reviews anyway. When I’m not doing interviews I’ll be hard at work writing books; being an author of fiction and non-fiction has always...

#albumoftheday / FEATURE REVIEW: BUTCH WALKER: AFRAID OF GHOSTS
It’s possible that more than half the people who’ll read this review have never even heard of Butch Walker. But he’s been one of my favorite artists for as far back as I can remember. When I was just a teenager he was the lead guitarist in a hair band I was really...

#songoftheday / REVIEW: BUTCH WALKER: “FATHER’S DAY”
Like "Bed On Fire" and "21+," two of the previous cuts to be unleashed from Butch Walker's upcoming album Afraid of Ghosts, "Father's Day" starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds. It's almost like having a conversation with someone that starts off as casual chit chat...
#songoftheday / REVIEW: BUTCH WALKER: “BED ON FIRE”
Butch Walker is one of today's most incredible singer/songwriters and producers. But Ryan Adams produced this track, as well as the rest of Butch's upcoming album Afraid of Ghosts, giving it a haunting hue through which Butch conveys a whole lotta emotion. This mesmerizing number is so...
SINGLE SPOTLIGHT: BUTCH WALKER: End of the World (One More Time) / Battle vs. The War
The last time I saw Butch Walker — sometime last year, at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts — he did a bunch of new songs and talked about how they were going to be on a new EP he was releasing called Peachtree Battle. I really enjoyed all of the songs and was...

#albumoftheday REVIEW: BUTCH WALKER: PEACHTREE BATTLE
I caught Butch Walker live at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts on the 11th of this month. It was my fourth time seeing him and he was, in a word, brilliant. Which came as no surprise. He’s been impressing me with his knack for super emotive songwriting ever since he was in a...
