Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White and ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere:’ A Photo Gallery

The long wait is almost over. After months (years, maybe?) of anticipation, we are just one week out from the cinematic release of "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," the 20th Century Studios that chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s groundbreaking and game-changing 1982 album, “Nebraska.” Springsteen at the time stood teetering on the cusp of global superstardom. In the wake of his colossal hit album, "Born to Run," and the success of "The River," Springsteen took a hard left turn and recorded the spare, personal, intimate and haunting "Nebraska" on a four-track recorder in his New Jersey bedroom. The film stars Jeremy Allen White as The Boss and is based on the book, “Deliver Me from Nowhere,” by Warren Zanes. The courtesy photos below come by way of Dis...

The Chance in Poughkeepsie: Peter Shapiro’s Rock and Roll Playhouse to Honor Garcia, Weir and Grateful Dead

On June 4, 1983, Andy Eisner and some pals set out from their New Jersey homes and headed due north to a city they had never been to, a city they would never visit again. There was no GPS to be had; no Siri; no Google Maps; no nothing, no how, no way. This band of bold adventurers were living in an era now known as the O.G.—they were using hard copy maps to reach Poughkeepsie, NY. Their destination was a former vaudeville house on Crannell Street, just a few blocks from New York State’s oldest newspaper, and the nation’s second-oldest behind the Hartford Courant, the Poughkeepsie Journal. The occasion was a performance by the Jerry Garcia Band—and the Eisner crew was stoked. But the trip took a really long time, and it grew laborious. Never ones to back down from...

Biffy Clyro Is Underrated, ‘Futique’ Could Change That

Biffy Clyro | Photo Credit: Eve Pentel It's almost criminal that Biffy Clyro aren't already one of the biggest bands on the planet. In the UK and Europe, this Scottish trio is rock royalty, headlining Reading and Leeds, packing arenas, and commanding festivals with the kind of confidence that comes from doing this at the highest level for more than 20 years. In the U.S., however, they're often still treated like a cult favorite. That needs to change, and their new album Futique, due out September 19th, will give everyone a chance to catch up. The Futique era is already hitting like a tidal wave, with the first single “A Little Love” climbing fast. The second track, “Hunting Season” is turning heads, and their summer has seen the band picking up momentum: Glastonbury, Big Weekend set...

Of Monsters and Men Return with ‘Ordinary People’ After Years of Silence

Of Monsters and Men have officially returned, breaking a years-long silence with the release of their new single, “Ordinary Creature.” It’s a gentle, introspective track shaped by late-night studio sessions in Iceland, where the band recorded and produced it themselves. The result is a dreamy meditation on healing, presence, and rediscovery—delivering the kind of emotional nuance fans have come to expect from the Icelandic indie-folk mainstays. “Ordinary Creature is about the feeling of yearning for that someone that brings you comfort,” the band shared. “It’s about when you start feeling better after a period of not feeling so great—that moment when you start coming back to yourself again.” Music Video The song arrives with a cinematic music video directed by Erlendur Sveinsson. ...

Dylan Doyle Releases Reflective Single “Endlessly” from Upcoming EP

Photo credit: Mickey Deneher NEW PALTZ, NY — Dylan Doyle has spent the last decade building a reputation on the back of sweat-drenched live shows and a genre-bending sound that fuses blues, funk, and Americana. But with his new single “Endlessly” — out now on all streaming platforms — Doyle slows things down and leans hard into vulnerability, delivering a lush, R&B-tinged meditation on love, memory, and the weight of time. The track is the first look at Another Shade of Blue, Doyle’s forthcoming EP, due September 12. Built around a mellow groove and intentional guitarwork, “Endlessly” sounds like the kind of song you listen to when the party’s long over and you're driving home with the windows down — nostalgic but not bitter, aching but still hopeful. “It’s about remembering...
