“Do you wanna see the stars before they fall?” asks lead singer James Michael during the chorus of “Stars,” the opening song on SIXX A.M.’s new — and third — album, Modern Vintage. It’s an inspiring tune that really makes one want to stop and smell the roses, as they say. It also dares you…

OK GO: HUNGRY GHOSTSAs you may remember, I reviewed OK GO’s fantastic Upside Out EP back in August of this year. All four of those incredible, tasty treats are served up deliciously here on the band’s new album, Hungry Ghosts, which is, simply put, baked to perfection. But before we get to the brand new…

We’re still amazed by the fact that these guys make all of this massive-sounding music using only bass guitar and drums. It’s insane, really, but it sounds superb.

Wow. This one is out of the ballpark amazing. A gem of an pop rock song that sounds like something The Cars would have done in 1984 while still sounding perfectly modern at the same time. All we know is that every moment of this song is exhilarating.

Obviously, if you’re a fan who’s been pining for a new Interpol album your prayers have been answered. And while it doesn’t really have the spark of reinvention, sometimes more of the same is all one needs. If you’ve ever loved this band, it’s impossible not to get enthused about “All The Rage Back Home,”…

I’m always listening to new music, picking things that stand out among the crowd to review for Love is Pop. The problem is, sometimes you have to listen to a lot of mediocre music before you find something truly marvelous. I was having one of those days when everything I listened to seemed quite dull when I…

As you can see below, the above video for “Who Killed The Moonlight?” by Nicole Atkins was released way back in July. But, hey, sometimes things fall through the cracks. We subscribe to hundreds of Youtube channels to try to keep up with all of our favorite artists’ videos, but the problem with subscribing to…

review by Michael McCarthy all photos by Joshua Bernard When OK GO hit The Paradise stage in Boston on Wednesday night the crowd had no idea what it was in for. That is, of course, unless they’d been reading spoilers online. Following a video clip featuring iconic movies and TV shows that ended with Kermit…
