What was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power this morning in Washington D.C. was anything but.

Metalcore has always been about the pursuit of extremity. Furious tempos, warp-speed guitar shredding and painful throat-shearing were the hallmarks of the sound. But in the later part of the 2000s and throughout the following decade, the game changed a bit. The shredders started listening to dubstep or maybe their honeys took them to Electric […]

Many of you know the tragic story about the death of Vine. One day it was here, and the next day it was gone forever in 2017. Comedy lovers around the world feared there would be no more videos to join the ranks of “Hi, welcome to Chili’s” or “Look at all those chickens.” Other […]

Most bands talk a good game, but Enter Shikari are truly a work in progress. From the early “rave-core” action found on their 2007 debut, Take To The Skies, to the seasoned alt-rock band they’ve become, the quartet’s penchant for forward thinking has remained in motion. As does Rou Reynolds‘ altruistic position. In this episode […]
