This was year two for Reggae Rise Up in Maryland at West Covington Park. Last year I had a great line-up and to be honest I was not as hyped about this overall line-up. However, I ended up being really surprised (in a good way) and the entire three day…
While in high school I had my first experience with the metal community by discovering 80s Glam Metal. This was my introduction to the bigger world of metal music that was coming my way. But while I was getting into big hair, bright colors, and spandex, most of my friends…
The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto was transformed into a boiling cauldron of energy as the Summer Storm Tour featuring Nita Strauss unleashed a relentless display of musical prowess.

My first time through Janelle Monáe's The Age of Pleasure, I had two thoughts; this is very different from her previous albums in style and this is a very quick album, only 31 minutes long. Janelle makes a big shift from her Afrofuturist persona, character driven themes of race, power…
The Indie Rock Road Trip tour had a (planned) pit stop at Minneapolis this Wednesday, stopping at the fabulous, gargantuan Armory where 8000 adoring fans packed themselves into the massive space to catch the return of 90s-but-also-other-decades darlings Weezer. They brought LA indie rising stars Momma and the ineffable Modest…

In support of their latest album, The Final Battle, popular Christian rockers Stryper stopped by the House of Blues San Diego to deliver their unique blend of heavy metal and inspiring messages of faith. Since it had been at least 30 years since my last Stryper show (yikes!), I was…
Life Is but a Dream, or is it really a Nightmare? You be the judge. To be honest, I have not been a lifelong Avenged Sevenfold fan. I was introduced to them back in 2013 by my friend Tony who nothing but raved about the band, their unique sound and…
LA Natives G Perico & Rucci returned to Los Angeles on 5/27/2023 as they wind down their 2023 Hot Shot Tour. With only two dates left to go including this one, anticipation was high for the homecoming of these two LA hip hop kings. The Hot Shot Tour featured 24…
It’s been a tumultuous year for Michigan’s The Black Dahlia Murder. With the passing of Trevor Strnad last year, there were a lot of questions surrounding whether or not the band could either continue, or if they could, what would that look like? The announcement that the band would pivot…
Toronto's History Auditorium got a double dose of European Power metal with Sweden’s Hammerfall and German legends Helloween coming into town for their first appearances in almost 4 years.
