On April 10, the multi-talented duo Goldfish made a stop at The Stache in Grand Rapids, MI for an EDM performance unlike anything I have experienced so far.

April 25th, 2016 John Bazley New Jersey rock unit Mother Goose are set to release their debut EP, Pity Party, on Friday, April 29. Today, we’re excited to exclusively premiere the effort’s title track. “Pity Party” perfectly showcases the band’s confessional lyrical leanings and bouncy rock-and-roll bravado, reminiscent of Say Anything’s Baseball and Menorah / Majorah, with just a hint of 1970s classic rock. The […]

April 25th, 2016 Corey From Artist: The Fall Of Troy Album: OK Genre: Screamo/Hardcore Label: Self-Released I know it’s cliche, but ignorance is bliss. Truthfully. Especially when it comes to music. Ignorance from hype and expectation. Without both of those mindsets, you’re allowed to listen to a new song or record in the most pure form. Now, obviously this is […]

April 25th, 2016 Gabe Aikins Part 1 In April of 2006, I was 12 years old. I felt that I needed to rebel out of my interests because I was just a few weeks away from being a *gasp* TEENAGER. That being said, I was the opposite of a rebellious child up until that point, so I wasn’t entirely […]

Michael Keaton starts a fast food revolution in new trailer for ‘The Founder’
April 22nd, 2016 Gabe Aikins It’s not easy running a business. It’s even harder to turn that business into one of the largest corporations in the world. But that’s exactly what Ray Kroc did with McDonald’s in the 1950s, and what Michael Keaton as Kroc aims to do in the new trailer for The Founder (via USA TODAY). Kroc meets […]

April 22nd, 2016 Kyle Florence There are a lot of bands out there that claim to be unique, but few deliver on that promise quite like Sego. Unrestrained by genre tropes and destined to deviate, the Utah duo are truly beyond compare, combining a mish-mash of influences into a one-of-a-kind final product that is contagious, disorienting, and memorable all at […]
