From Chad McDonald: It’s 6:40 AM. We arrived in Baltimore last night at 10:30 pm after an 18 hour van ride back from Baton Rouge, LA. We drove straight back to Baltimore after the show, which I think is the reason I am now awake at 7 AM on a Saturday. Over night van rides always mess with my sleeping schedule. The last few shows of the tour were fine. Birmingham, Alabama was one of the better shows of tour for us. A few guys came up to the merch table and said they had seen us ...

There was time when the idea of writing up a story about Anthony Hopkins being caught between two sequels would've seemed laughable. But welcome to 2012, where if you want keep the lights on and maintain some profile in Hollywood, you whore your soul to Marvel or sign up for a big franchise.

Welcome to the 21st century! I almost feel like starting a slow clap. Kirk Hammett recently told Rolling Stone: “The cycles of taking two [...]

Video premiere from Italian artist Go Dugong featuring Welcome Back Sailors. For fans of Delorean, “White Sun” is a brand of chill, lo-fi, dream-pop that moves you with the beat but pushes you (just a little) emotionally. The images of space conjure up hopelessly nostalgic and optimistic feelings that I just can’t get enough of. [...]

Welcome to another installment of Seed to Flower Thursdays with volcano!, presenting a new debut cut from their forthcoming album Piñata with their anecdotes of influence. The band's mantra is that flowers and songs cannot evolve from nothing but require a seed. Recognizing that neither plants nor music can spring from thin air, the band likens songs to flowers where a seed of inception or inspiration must occur before either can bloom to their full realized potential. Enter the creat...
