Q&A with Rain Parade’s Matt Piucci, Playing at The Earl, Jan. 19, with the Tim Lee 3 and the Head.
By Scott Roberts Way back in the twentieth century—the 1980s to be exact—in a large, sunny town called Los Angeles, there were several bands who were influenced by the music, clothes, and attitudes of another time two decades earlier. Bands like the Dream Syndicate, Bangles, Three O’Clock, and Long Ryders lived, played, and rocked together […]
5GB With Toubab Krewe; Playing Terminal West, Jan. 17th
Some music cannot be found on a map or within iTunes categories. Some music is so original it seems snatched from the great, invisible substrata that runs below all human activity, a sound aching to be born without a flag or fixed allegiance – free, questing, overflowing with immediate, tangible life. This is the music […]

CD Review: Resolution 15 – Svaha, Released Today, Jan. 15
Review by Ellen Eldridge Enticed by the promise of a twist on the same old metal, I opened up Resolution 15’s Svaha with low expectations, but an open mind. Unsure whether or not the description of violins replacing guitars in blistering thrash, punk and hardcore-influenced music could be accurate, I waded through the first three […]
