April 15th, 2016 MJ Rawls Due to several recommendations from friends, I checked out a Hoodie Allen show and was not disappointed. Allen is the perfect example of someone who went full-force after their dream. After all, he quit Google in order to pursue his passion for music on a full-time basis. It takes a lot of work and dedication […]

April 8th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Hardcore Henry Directed by: Ilya Naishuller Starring: Haley Bennett, Sharlto Copley, Tim Roth “It’s like watching a video game.” A statement that many a people use to describe highfalutin action/adventure epics that litter theaters today. Most recently, people used that statement to describe Gods Of Egypt, an incoherent ode to ’70s mythological epics. Hardcore […]

April 7th, 2016 J.J. Ellis Artist: Deftones Album: Gore Genre: Rock, Metal Label: Reprise Records Many headlines were made in regards to the tensions within the Deftones camp and the creation of their eighth full-length, Gore. Most of the writing was done with guitarist Stephen Carpenter largely on the sidelines. They also switched things up in the producer’s seat, working […]

April 6th, 2016 Gabe Aikins Artist: M83 Album: Junk Label: Naïve Records, Mute Records Genre: Synthpop I still remember when I first heard “Midnight City.” It was the end of August 2011, and I was just starting college.

March 30th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Chasing Bansky Directed by: Frank Henenlotter Starring: Anthony Sneed How far would you go to pilfer a piece of art? Would you steal that item for financial gain or otherwise? Chasing Banksy‘s conceit is pretty simple. Based on a true story, Brooklyn artist Anthony Sneed saw massive gains in stealing an original Banksy piece […]

March 28th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Kill Your Friends Starring: Ed Skrein, Nicholas Hoult, Rosanna Arquette Directed by: Owen Harris Music industry satires seem to be a semi-popular thing to do today.

March 28th, 2016 J.J. Ellis Artist: Amon Amarth Album: Jomsviking Label: Metal Blade Genre: Death metal While there are a number of bands out there that blend metal and their Nordic heritage, you would be hard-pressed to name one who has done so as consistently well as Amon Amarth.

March 25th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Directed by: Zack Snyder Starring: Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg, Ben Affleck If I were to take Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’s text verbatim, then I’d be led to believe that a group of people with supernatural capabilities hold the power to defending the world from annihilation.
