When Falling In Reverse released “Alone” a few weeks back, we thought our site was likely to crash. Only a year had passed since Falling In Reverse released their Epitaph debut, The Drug In Me Is You, but fans were already chomping at the bit for new music. Unfortunately, not many of those rabid followers ever expected to hear frontman Ronnie Radke rapping about how much more money he has than his fans, and the fallout that followed the premiere of “Alone” is still lingering in comment …

We talk a lot about nostalgia, but rarely when it comes to the world of hip hop. Aside from our features on Lord Willin and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” we have been admittedly lacking in our celebration of legendary releases in hip hop. This morning, however, a headline hit me in the face with all the power the reminder of how old you are possibly can. I knew right away I needed to write something, even if it were only a few lines, because this album was something special to me (even if I was 11 when it came out). Today …
Late In The Playoffs became site favorites with the release of Everything I Know, a 5-song EP from the promising Chicago pop-rock band that featured my favorite song of 2011.
They continued their role and we continued our coverage of their growth with a premiere of “Force of Nature,” one of two singles from The Wayside Sessions released in May of last year.
Now, as the band is rearing to release their full length album, Alive And On Your Own, we’re happy to host and offer a free download of the new song, “Never Wrong.”
Look below for …
Band: Have Mercy
Album: The Earth Pushed Back
Genre: Alternative

There haven’t been a ton of records I’ve been really excited about this year thus far. I’ve given some high marks in terms of “scoring,” and I think that is partially because there has been a lot of pretty mediocre records coming out of the scene these days, and I’ve lost sight of what truly great really means. Though it may seem strange to admit, some albums I’ve given high marks to earlier in the year may have deserved lower scores in hindsight. Why, you ask? Well, …

In fact, even Consequence Of Sound says Deschanel’s directing “bundles together just about everything that makes She & Him more or less That Cutesy Indie Band.”

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell 2012 breakout act Alabama Shakes have been relatively silent thus far in 2013. Their debut continues to shine on the indie charts, and to date only a few have successfully gotten their debut single “Hold On” out of their minds, but as far as new material is concerned there hasn’t been as much as a rumor blog in months. Now, out of almost nowhere, we have a new jam for you to enjoy.
A couple months back, Alabama Shakes were approached to contribute a new song to the fourth soundtrack for the hit HBO series True Blood. The show’s aesthetic is fitting of the group’s Southern-raised sound, so it should come as little-to-no surprise that their contribution is fitting for both the show and the group’s own catalog. You can stream the single, titled “Pocket Change,” at the end of this post.
The fourth soundtrack for True Blood hits stores May 28. Read more »

Only a year had passed since Falling In Reverse released their Epitaph debut, The Drug In Me Is You, but fans were already chomping at the bit for new music. Unfortunately, not many of those rabid followers ever expected to hear frontman Ronnie Radke rapping about how much more money he has than his fans, and the fallout that followed the premiere of “Alone” is still lingering in comment threads at this very hour. Some believed Radke was just testing the waters and welcomed the change of pace as a moment of experimentation, but most seemed to think Radke had simply lost his mind. I tend to think the real answer lies somewhere in the middle, but that song is not why we’ve gathered today. Read more »
