Package Pt.2 Delivers
A review of the new record from Gustaf I’m so glad that a friend at a little watering hole and pizza joint in Seattle, called Big Mario’s, once uttered the question, “Have you heard of Gustaf? I think you’d like them”. I believe I responded with, “I don’t listen to a lot of Russian bands,…

Nickelback is Okay?
A review of “Hate to Love: Nickelback ” a NETFLIX Documentary I just finished watching the NETFLIX documentary entitled “Hate to Love: Nickelback”, because, well, I felt I had to. I indulge in just about every music documentary that I can find streaming. I love to learn about obscure record studios and humble beginnings of artists…

Five Fantastically Fake Formations
“Fake Bands” from Film and TV Listen, making a list is hard. I even have a tough time putting together an itemized gathering of grocery needs, let alone ranking bands, songs, venues, movies or the like. So, this is going to be challenging because I am keeping it to five and I refuse to put…

The DOJ vs. The Ticketmonster
I’ve officially hit my “Old Man Phase”, as I find myself muttering “I remember when…” a lot more than I used to. I’ll be turning fifty in less than two months and a few things have changed about my concert going experiences. For instance, I like sitting down more than a mosh pit. That’s not…

222 Miles To Graceland
Senior Editor, Jason Shrum’s, Trip to Elvis’ House When I made the move to Nashville roughly six months ago, from Seattle, one of my very first thoughts was, “Now I’ll be closer to Elvis”. It’s true. I am a fan. Maybe fanatic is more the nomenclature. I love Elvis and it’s all because of a…

DEAD COOL AND STABBING WESTWARD
MAY 12, 2024 at NEIGHBORHOOD THEATER, CHARLOTTE, NC I’ll be honest, I’ve always had an interesting time at Sunday night gigs. The crowds are usually a bitlackluster, maybe because too many people are already in Monday morning mode and their weekendfeels, effectively, over. That usually means that the shows can feel more intimate and up-close,…

Punk Rock at Church
Joey Valence & Brea, The Interrupters, and Sum 41 at The Ryman I caught a punk rock show at a church a few days ago and it was as kick as this sentence alludes to. I thought maybe I had heard wrong when I found out about Sum 41 and The Interrupters were playing at…

Under the Influence
Three Albums that Shaped My Life This article is about that classic question. That one you get at 1am at the bar when you’re with your music loving friends and winding down the evening’s festivities. At least it’s the one you get from my friends anyway. That question is usually something around the likes of,…
