Ten years ago or so I took my sons to a concert in Dayton, Ohio. It was a triple header, The Bullet Boys (remember them?) and Great White and someone else, I can't even remember who. What struck me is that all of the bands on the bill were heavily...

File this one under, "Why would you?" "Alice in Chains" hasn't released any new material in over 5 years. Since that last, self-titled studio disc, however, they've put out one unplugged disc, one live disc, a box set, and a sampler' from that box set, which serves as a...

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is just a test. Do not adjust your browser! Nah, we don't usually review videos, but here it is... and I think it's worth taking a look at! Let me know if you want to see more of this type of stuff. ...

It seems a while back this band crossed the border from respectability to credibility by way of some radio righteous hit singles and lewd videos lent to overexposure - in more ways than one. Their "All The Small Things" video gave 'em immediate stardom and then there was "What's My...

If I ever use the term "Pop sensibility" in any single review I ever write, someone please shoot me! I'm so tired of seeing that written. It's like every page I turn, there it is, somewhere, some way, haunting me in its overuse for any bands' inexcusable drift into...

Glenn Danzig stormed the Rock scene in late '88, risen from the ashes of Samhain, a portion of which was comprised of him and bassist Eerie Von, who would adopt the former's namesake and go on to produce some of the most Metal albums for a fast approaching '90s dead...

Progressive Rock is a genre that is often discarded by critics as pretentious.. one that is overlooked completely by mainstream audiences. Ask the average man-on-the-street to define "Progressive Rock" and you'll probably get one of three responses: 1) Ummm, you mean like that band Yes? ...

Once again, a singer/songwriter emerges from out of the shadows (in this case, New York State's Hudson Valley), to offer up a contemporary recording with a decidedly retrospective/traditional feel. The DON LEWIS BAND is such a musical act and BETWEEN THE LINES is such a recording. It is the kind...
