Highly Anticipated Biffy Clyro Tour Set To Kickoff This Week

It's been five years but Scottish rock icons Biffy Clyro are back in America for a series of high-octane concerts. After opening stadium dates for the likes of Foo Fighters and Muse, the band has earned a reputation for their impressive live shows. But it's not really about who they've opened up for, they've amassed a worldwide fan base on their own. Biffy Clyro's tour kicks off at the House of Blues in Chicago on Sunday. Highlights include shows at New York City's Irving Plaza, Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, and The Fillmore in San Franciso. If you've never heard of these guys and you're a fan of alt-rock anthems, it's time to get on the bus. Photo Credit: Kevin J. Thomson Their latest single "A Hunger in Your Haunt" is working its way up rock radio charts. But unfortunately,...

WØLFDARLING Confront Mortality On New Single “ghost empire”

Genre-bending WØLFDARLING has returned with the release of a brand new single. "ghost empire" is a strong follow up to the previously released "send the sun my way". The introspective mid-tempo alt-rock tune is sure to evoke strong emotions from the listener when considering the intense subject matter. According to frontman Sam Urich, he started writing the song as he was enduring a challenging time in his life nearly a decade ago. He tapped into the raw emotions that go along with confronting a life-threatening illness all while dealing with the end of a serious relationship. You can hear my anguish, as well as my rage and terror when realizing that I was weakening by the day and had no idea how to keep myself from dying. I was sitting across from death, looking into&n...

Museum Of Light Drop “Soft Openings” Single

Seattle-based alt-rockers Museum of Light is prepping for the release of their debut album. After hearing their new single "Soft Openings", we can't wait to hear more from the band. Having just signed to Spartan Records, Horizon is set for release on June 10th. Museum of Light is made up of Ted Alverez on guitar and vocals, Rob Smith on drums, and Ezekiel Rudick on bass. Several things jumped out at me when listening to "Soft Openings". First of all, it was a one listen song, it didn't take much to get warmed up. Some tunes can take a few listens before I latch on to them. This one, I enjoyed right out of the gate. Second of all, I really enjoyed how they were able to balance both heavy and ambient tones. You can expect aggressive riffs mixing in with some dreamy vibes. Turns o...

HBO Doc Explores the Singular Focus of Tony Hawk (Review)

In the new HBO documentary 'Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off,' we spend time with the most famous skateboarder on the planet. We also see him at his most vulnerable. The film, directed by Sam Jones ('I Am Trying To Break Your Heart') and produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, begins with a sequence of groan-inducing failures. As the opening credits roll, we watch for nearly five full minutes as Hawk freefalls countless times while practicing a skate trick. It's hard to watch, mostly because I think we want to view celebrity athletes as invincible gods who cannot do anything wrong. When you see the man who is arguably the greatest to ever grace the sport having consistent difficulty while he pushes himself physically, it opens your eyes to just how challenging it is to pull off. It's...
