Nate Dorough is a promoter from Michigan that runs  Fusion Shows , puts on  Bled Fest , and does work with  Phantom Creative Group  as well. It’s been a long time since we’ve had Nate on the site, but we’re stoked to have him back. In his new blog, Nate dives into phony “booking agencies” and how they, nine times out of ten, only hurt and take advantage of younger bands who might not know any better. It’s quite an interesting read for both general fans and musicians in young bands, so check it all out below! Here ...

by BBG Pulling Teeth's final show at A389 anniversary (more by BBG) A389 Records have dropped their annual mixtape sampler, a ridiculous and borderline obnoxious 52-track extravaganza featuring multiple new or unreleased songs from the likes of Masakari, Mighty Sphincter,...

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Top Ten Lists Hope Guzzo Earlier this year, one of the most prolific and exciting underground labels around, A389 Recordings , celebrated its eighth anniversary with a blowout concert featuring the likes of Eyehategod , Integrity and Gehenna.

Self-Release 2012 Pleasant Living is an old-fashioned (and fun) hardcore/punk band that features current/former members of Stout, TUI, Slumlords, and Pulling Teeth. FFO Slumlords, Wisdom In Chains and Animalhaus. The band's 5-track demo was recorded over the weekend of March 24-25th with everything but gang vocals and the mixing completed in just one day. Or at least that's what the band claims. That seems sort of hard to believe because this is some tight (and rocking) punk/hardcore complete with shouted gang vocals and more than enough (or just enough depending on your point of view ...

A disdain for orthographical exactitude and seemingly a penchant for stomach-churning disgust (Lord knows what the Oxford, US of A outfit splurged into that there bowl above)  ILLLS' Teeth, the first thing they've rendered in any way digestible is a perfectly sticky gumball well worth having stuck up in your rear molars, or iPod memory, or Soundcloud favourites. Whatever. Envisage snowballing bubblegum blob the width of the Mississippi river bowling through their resident continent, picking up influential debris in its chewy body: from the gloopy goodness of Panda Bear's Tomboy  to the punch-drunk ramshackle bluster of Deer Tick ...

Brooklyn Decker is living proof that models can be just as beautiful inside as they are on the outside. In the June issue of Canada's Flare Magazine, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model-turned-actress touched on the usual fashion topics and on her transition into acting, but she also revealed that she would like to adopt a special needs child. VIDEO: Brooklyn Decker Is Hot & Messy In The May Issue Of GQ Brooklyn did an accompanying photoshoot with fashion photographer, Max Abadian , and what we have seen so far looks amazing. In the accompanying interview, The Battleship star talked about her ...

"Punk is nothing more than Chuck Berry with a different hairdo. It's just really fast rock n roll." Welcome to Alabama Shakes . A band that doesn't fit in anywhere, and doesn't want to. Founded in 2009 from a local community of musicians from Athens, Alabama, USA, in the last year they have everyone from Conan O'Brien, the BBC, and Jack White singing their praises. With the most eclectic of influences, the one thing they have in common is a soulful collaberation of sound. 2012 is set to be a big year for them, and The 405 ...
