After a trip to an AMC theater to see The Theory of Everything (which is an incredibly moving and powerful film that you must see), I found myself questioning the current state of the American movie theater experience. In a market where everything is now a “luxury” experience, it seems as if every theater is […]

REVIEW: TV On The Radio – ‘Seeds’
November 19th, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: TV On The Radio Album: Seeds Label: Harvest Genre: Indie, Synthpop I approached TV On The Radio’s Seeds as a newcomer to the stratosphere of sound the band creates. Being my first proper experience with the band that has been so heavily recommended to me, Seeds was a needed escape. Seeds is a collection […]

REVIEW: Pianos Become The Teeth – ‘Keep You’
October 28th, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: Pianos Become The Teeth Album: Keep You Genre: Indie Rock Label: Epitaph The change felt on Keep You, the third full-length from Pianos Become The Teeth, was bound to happen.

Ten Years Later: mewithoutYou’s ‘Catch For Us The Foxes’
October 14th, 2014 Drew Caruso My first real rock concert was a Coheed and Cambria headlining tour one winter when I was somewhere between 12 and 13 years old. I was waiting in line with my mother (because she’s totally awesome and loves Coheed), and we see a bearded man covered in jackets walk in front of us and empty […]

REVIEW: Finch – ‘Back To Oblivion’
September 30th, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: Finch Album: Back To Oblivion Genre: Post-Hardcore Label: Razor and Tie To be honest, I am not too acclimated with Finch. Like many rock lovers I enjoy What It Is To Burn and parts from Say Hello To Sunshine, but I never truly gravitated to the band. This mindset made my approach to their […]

Songs For The Season: Fall Playlist
September 23rd, 2014 Drew Caruso Autumn may be the most visually rewarding season that nature has gifted us. While all the other seasons are sure to give it a fair fight, there is something about the orange, red, and yellow change in the leaves that gift us new enlightenment and invigoration in the natural world around us. But what would […]

REVIEW: Whirr – ‘Sway’
September 23rd, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: Whirr Album: Sway Genre: Shoegaze Label: Graveface Records Whirr is a band that does not give a fuck. Traversing their Facebook page at any given moment is always an interesting endeavor, and exploring their newest album Sway is of the same caliber. Like their shoegaze brethren Nothing (Whirr singer/guitarist Nick Basset plays bass in […]

REVIEW: The American Scene – ‘Haze’
September 8th, 2014 Drew Caruso Artist: The American Scene Album: Haze Label: Pure Noise Records Genre: Alternative, Indie The American Scene found themselves far too underrated after the release of Safe For Now, an album that created intricate guitar lines, hauntingly soft and delivering vocals, and a longing desire for more. Two years later we find ourselves presented with Haze, […]
