Album Review: Blink-182 – ‘Neighborhoods’
Blink-182 has been a constant source of inspiration for pop-punk bands since the mid 90’s, and with over 27 million records sold who wouldn’t want to imitate that formula.

Album Review: Cobra Starship – ‘Night Shades’
Cobra Starship has always been a guilty pleasure. They have become known for frontman Gabe Saporta’s sassy pop-culture-commentary lyrical style, but Night Shades, their fourth studio release from Fueled By Ramen/ Decaydance Records eases off the attitude and allows listeners in on Saporta’s romantic turmoil. “This record might be the most commercial record, but also…

Album Review: The Horrible Crowes ‘Elsie’
The Gaslight Anthem is one of the most influential punk rock bands of the last decade, and with their rich melodies and entrancing hooks, there isn’t much room for argument. Brian Fallon (lead vocalist for Gaslight Anthem and Horrible Crowes) has been writing and recording songs since his mid-teens. It all started for him with…

Album Review: Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘I’m With You’
2006’s ‘Stadium Arcadium’ was the sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers letting guitar virtuoso John Frusciante take over, putting his guitar front and center. When Frusciante left the band for the second time, it was anyone’s guess how they would react musically. Enter Josh Klinghoffer, a collaborator/friend of Frusciante’s and backup guitar player for…
