May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell Former Dance Gave Dance frontman Jonny Craig is back in our headlines once again, but this time it actually has something to do with music!
Earlier today, May 14, Jonny Craig released the official music video for his new single “The Lives We Live.” The clip features Craig performing in a room filled with mirrors, with brilliant editing making things pop far more than that basic description is leading you to believe. The song itself is okay, taking a middle of the road approach in terms of speed and overall appeal. It’s clear Craig wants us to hear and see …

April 20th, 2013 James Shotwell Jonny Craig has released a new song with recent collaborator Kyle Lucas entitled “The Party and The Dream.”
Posted on Soundcloud Saturday afternoon, the latest effort from the pairing of Lucas and Craig puts the focus on the vocal talents of both vocalists. Jonny hasn’t had this many woah-ohs in a single song in his entire career, and you better believe he wails until you think his throat will burst every chance he gets. Lucas’ contributions are enjoyable, but it’s hard to act like Craig’s performance on the hook and bridge doesn’t steal the show. You can stream “The Party …

“Go to Atlanta record new EP. Come home film thank you videos for donators! Send out more perks! Go on tour! Pretty stoked on life,” Craig graciously tweeted.
Having previously released a few tracks here or there, the EP, funded on IndieGoGo, just barely made it past Craig’s $20,000 goal. Not bad for a guy who’s already stolen his fan’s money, right?
In late May, the singer will head over to the UK in support of his new EP, come home for a while and then …

What does a reformed bad boy do when he cleans up, gets sober, and puts music first in his life? Embarks on a solo tour, that’s what. Jonny Craig hit the road this spring on a solo tour with support from The Seeking, Hail The Sun, and Kurt Travis. I had the opportunity to catch this tour as is made it’s way through the home of Rock and Roll. Jonny Craig stopped by Peabody’s in Cleveland on March 27, the …

March 14th, 2013 Brian Lion Artist: Stolas
Album: Living Creatures
Genre: Experimental, Progressive, Metal
For fans of: A Lot Like Birds, Dance Gavin Dance, Exotic Animal Petting Zoo
Sin City’s experimental/post-rock/metal amalgamation, Stolas, have released their debut album, Living Creatures; a whirlwind of aggressive technical prowess, spontaneous structure, and guest vocal star power. If you’ve ever played Paper Mario or even Guitar Hero, you know that star power is where it’s at! Combining these aforementioned elements with interestingly fitting artwork by Ernest Castillo, Stolas have crafted an impressively well-rounded debut album via Blue Swan Records.
To begin, we’ll briefly discuss the five …
February 28th, 2013 Jacob Tender Jonny Craig has 24 days left on his IndieGoGo campaign, for which he’s determined to raise $20,000 to record a brand new solo EP.
So far, he has acquired $12,197 of said goal. That’s not too shabby for a crooner straight out of rehab.
Not shabby at all.
To promote the fundraiser, Craig has released material in small increments. A few covers here, a new song there or here, and an interview over here.
Now, another new jam has surfaced. This one entitled “House of War.” You can stream it below.
February 26th, 2013 Grant Trimboli In a new interview with solo artist Jonny Craig, it was revealed that he actually bought out his own contract in order to leave Rise Records. The entire statement explaining Craig’s situation can be viewed below. We guess he won’t be collaborating with any of their artists in the near future.
“First off, you’ve fulfilled your contract with Rise Records. I have to ask, was there an offer to re-sign?
Actually, I was still obligated to do more CD’s, and I had to buy my own contract out, that is the actual legit story. There was a bunch of …
February 18th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor Jonny Craig, the Justin Timberlake of post-hardcore, is hard at work engineering another comeback attempt. That vibe permeates the whole of “Nobody Ever Will”, the newest single from Craig.
Seriously, this thing is soaked in late 90s/early 00s pop-R&B nostalgia. I mean, the thing opens up with a voicemail recording, as if people actually left voicemail messages any more.
Then there’s the bluesy guitar lick above the vintage sounding keyboards leading into the autotuned Craig self-harmonizing over a plush acoustic guitar riff. Of course, this is still a Craig track through-and-through, so his signature vocal histrionics are very much …

February 12th, 2013 Dan Bogosian Oh, the places Jonny Craig will go. Former Dance Gavin Dance vocalist and drug addict/awkward criminal Jonny Craig recently released three interesting cover songs (including a song originally by Justin Timberlake) and announced a solo headlining tour. Today, he has launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new EP on Indiegogo that you can find here.
Jonny is without a label now, so the crowdfunding could make or break him. In his own words, “I want to get some new music out to all of you, MY FANS, but in order to do so it’s going to …
