May 16th, 2013 Kriston McConnell Artist Escape The Fate
Album: Ungrateful
Genre: Rock
Label: Eleven Seven Records
I’ve been listening to Escape The Fate for quite some time, even before Craig Mabbitt joined the group. Their first release with him, This War Is Ours, was their first step in a new direction towards a more mainstream, radio-ready rock sound. A couple years later, they released their self titled full length that again showed the group headed toward a sound with more mass appeal. While the album did receive good reviews and was their “best selling album to date,” I really disliked it. I was …

Genre: Grunge, Rock

Disco, punk, grunge, and even dubstep has been said to have been short lived (thanks to the trap takeover). While some of these may be true, there are usually at least a handful of bands that stay faithful to their inceptive roots. As for grunge, some of the staples of the popular 80s/90s rock sub-genre have held on and continue to create …

May 1st, 2013 James Shotwell Last Sunday I was sitting at my desk working on a story when my phone rang. Brimming with excitement on the other end of the line was Craig Silva, a friend whom I run a small label with called Antique Records here in Boston. “Are you near a radio,” he asked in a frenzy, “tune into Harvard’s radio station as fast as you can or you may miss it!” I ran to the nearest stereo in my apartment and quickly spun the dial to the small, student-run station. When I got there I heard a group I had until that …

April 22nd, 2013 Tyler Osborne Last night a group of punk kids from the DC area began petitioning for Streetlight Manifesto to drop the venue they booked in Northern Virginia (which for those who don’t know is basically a suburb of DC) known as Empire. For those who remember, a few weeks back The Wonder Years spoke out against Empire’s staff for their usage of homophobic slurs. In light of that incident (and others), fans are now asking Streetlight move their final area performance so that fans can attend the show without supporting an establishment that does not believe in equality.
To be …
