Hailing from the UK, Spector delivers a solid as a diamond slice of post new wave rock with “All The Sad Young Men,” which reminds me of listening to bands like Depeche Mode and Roxy Music when I was young and didn’t know better. Relax, I’m kidding. I still like Depeche Mode and Roxy Music.…

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 into called…

To my ears, Yellowcard’s “Crash The Gates” sounds more like a recent Fall Out Boy song than a Yellowcard song. But, hey, I happen to love Fall Out Boy’s two newest albums. Suffice to say I can totally dig the energy here and the crunchy guitars are delicious. I’m not sure what the point to…

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 gorgeous and flawless that we don’t even feel…

A very informative and interesting video wherein Robbie chats about each of the 14 tracks on Under The Radar Vol. 1.

Just over a week ago, Robbie Williams announced that he’d be releasing an album of rare and previously unreleased tracks called Under The Radar Volume 1. This immediately excited me because I’ve always loved and collected Robbie’s B-sides and have often felt that many of them were stronger than some of the material on his…

review and all photographs by Joshua Bernard The last time Death from Above 1979 played Boston, it was 2005 and they opened for Nine Inch Nails at the Fleet Center (Formerly the Boston Garden). There’s a big difference between the 17k seat Boston Garden vs the 2500 seat House of Blues, but that didn’t seem…
