Movie Review: ‘The Raid 2’

Film: The Raid 2 Directed by: Gareth Evans Starring: Iko Uwais Bigger is not always better, but The Raid 2 is an exception. It’s two-and-a-half hours of gangs, deception, and over-the-top violence that pushes the limits of visceral filmmaking to the breaking point (then snaps it in two).  Picking up hours after the events of […]

REVIEW: Banner Pilot – ‘Souvenir’

Artist: Banner Pilot Album: Souvenir Genre: Punk Label: Fat Wreck Chords Once bands have three albums under their belts, they tend to be well-oiled machines. They know what works and what doesn’t, and they should have no problem cranking out songs that will appeal to their core audience and new fans alike. That’s not to […]

Free MP3: Young Thug – “Stoner” (Evian Christ Remix)

It’s Friday, and thanks to producer Evian Christ we have a killer new remix to help set the weekend off right.

Get Bummed With Lykke Li’s New Video For “No Rest For The Wicked”

So Lykke Li dropped a new song bearing the title “No Rest For the Wicked” last month and, like the very worst of the snarky internet commenter crowd, I made Cage the Elephant jokes. Now, after watching the video for that same song, I feel pretty terrible about myself. The loneliness that Lykke Li laments on […]
