I knew we were in for a night at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium before I parked. Fans were wrapped around the block, buzzing with anticipation before doors even opened. It was a warm Southern California homecoming for The Altons as they were bringing their tour to a close alongside Introverted…
There are music festivals, and then there are community experiences. Ithaca Reggae Fest has become one of the most unique reggae gatherings in the Northeast - not simply because of the artists on stage, but because of the atmosphere it creates. Set along the shores of Cayuga Lake in Stewart…
With After Dark, Whitter the Legend steps further into his lane, blending modern dancehall energy with a clear sense of purpose and identity.

There’s something about Kaleo Wassman that hits a little different when he steps out on his own. Known for fronting Pepper, he’s spent years riding that reggae-rock wave - but Say Yes feels more stripped back, more personal, and a little closer to the bone. Released through LAW Records, the…

A sold-out show brought strangers together in the intimate walls of The Echo. Otis Kane and Moorea Masa filled every inch of what room remained with soulful grooves and their potent voices. We were left with a night of incredible music as we stepped back out into the late-night glow…
What is the number one drug on the market right now? I’d have to say that it’s nostalgia. The feeling of younger days, when life felt simpler, and the pressures of the world and bills didn’t exist. To me, there’s no better way of injecting that shot of nostalgia than…
Some shows ask something of you before you even walk through the door. A three-plus hour drive. A long night ahead. The kind of trip where you’re hoping the music meets the effort. By the time the lights came up at The Fillmore in Silver Spring on May 3rd, that…
A new, fast-rising doom metal band has been making waves in the metal scene lately, known as Castle Rat. They are a rat-themed medieval doom metal band from New York. Castle Rat just got off a tour opening for Amon Amarth and Dethklok and have booked themselves a one-off headlining…
