Michael Bay Returns With Action-Packed ‘Ambulance’ (Review)

The new film from maverick director Michael Bay will stand the test of time with audiences despite its lackluster showing at the box office. The action-packed thriller is a remake of a 2005 Dutch film called 'Ambulancen' about brothers who risk it all to pull off a bank robbery to cover some massive medical bills. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Will, an unemployed veteran with a newborn baby and a wife in need of a costly experimental surgery. He is struggling to find a job that will pay him enough to help his family when he gets a proposition from his half-brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal). Without much time to consider the implications of his decision, he agrees to join Danny and his nefarious crew to pull off a bank robbery that could solve all of his problems. As is of...

Liam Gallagher Releases New Single “Better Days”

The iconic Liam Gallagher has an eagerly awaited new solo album on the way. His new single "Better Days" just dropped and has the vibe and feel of an instant classic. Gallagher collaborated with Grammy-winning Andrew Wyatt and Michael Tighe on writing the track. Produced by Wyatt along with Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sir Paul McCartney), they spiced things up with Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs featured on guitar. The music video features Gallagher and band on top of the Midland Hotel in Manchester, England. The cinematic performance video gets increasingly psychadelic as the sky slowly starting to swirl.

Celebrate Record Store Day With ‘Vinyl Nation’ (Review)

The 15th annual Record Store Day is happening at independent record stores around the world this Saturday, April 23. A new documentary called 'Vinyl Nation' celebrates these incredible stores and the collectors who keep them alive. I am unashamedly one of those people. In fact, I was quite excited to watch this because I am such a vinyl nerd. With over 5,000 albums filling the shelves at my home, it's a collection that has been growing ever since I got the 'Grease' soundtrack for my third birthday. Covering All The Bases Co-directors Kevin Smokler and Christopher Boone cover a lot of ground, speaking to store owners, fans, record label employees, and the people who work in the pressing plants. One dealer at the Austin Record Convention admits that he owns over 20,000 records and...

With The Punches New Album Discontent Due In May

It's been a while. But if the new single is any indication, it'll have been worth the wait. New York-based pop-punk outfit With the Punches has announced a new record deal and EP release along with a brand new single. Discontent will be the first new release from With The Punches in nearly nine years. "Stoneham Blues" is the lead single from the new EP and they've really delivered something special. The song confronts mortality in that, according to vocalist Jesse Vadala, it was loosely written about a few close friends who are no longer with us. I struggled like many do in processing death, especially those lost to addiction. We always wish for ways to protect the ones we love. When they leave abruptly, it can shatter so many lives. Some days we feel lost. Other days we shine ...

Netflix Doc Examines “all-American” Retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (Review)

'White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch' is a brand new Netflix documentary from director Alison Klayman ("Jagged"). While the company still exists in an altered form, clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch was an inescapable presence in malls across the country. No really, you couldn't escape it. If you were anywhere near it in the mall's footprint, you could smell their exclusive store scents wafting through the building and you could hear the bass of club remixes reverberating through the walls. If you were enticed through the doors by the often-shirtless young men who were hired as "models," you would see sexualized imagery on the walls, the shopping bags, and inside the A&F Quarterly magazine published by the company. It was "fast fashion" appealing t...

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.
