Comments Off on REVIEW: O’Brother – ‘Endless Light’Boston Underground Film Fest 2016 – Day 1: ‘The Lure’
March 24th, 2016 Sam Cohen Opening night at Boston Underground Film Festival is always a jovial, if not transformative, experience at the movies. The first night that I attended there in 2014, I got to see Sion Sono’s Why Don’t You Play in Hell? Which resulted in all of my preconceptions about the festival’s programming being shattered. Seeing the new […]

March 24th, 2016 Kacy Raby The state of post-hardcore seems to be, thankfully, ever fluctuating. As a sub-genre, it is incredibly diverse, containing borderline metalcore acts (The Word Alive, Of Mice & Men) and proggy noodlers (Dance Gavin Dance, Hail The Sun) alike. It makes one wonder what truly defines any genre, let alone this one. There could probably be […]

March 18th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: The Divergent Series – Allegiant Directed by: Robert Schwentke Starring: Shailene Woodley, Jeff Daniels, Theo James, Naomi Watts The Divergent series always seemed a bit of an enigma to me. These movies are churned out once a year, they don’t make that much money in comparison to other big budget fare, and they always […]

March 16th, 2016 MJ Rawls Oh, the power of positivity in music. It’s undeniable. It’s one of the main reasons why we make music a mainstay in our modern day routines. You can’t deny when you hear your favorite part of your song – the song you hold on to the most. You either dance like nobody is watching or […]

March 14th, 2016 MJ Rawls “Did you check everything? Are your batteries fully charged? Are your lenses clean? Seriously, check everything!” To say I gain a little OCD before shooting shows at Madison Square Garden is an understatement. It’s not that I don’t triple-check things to begin with, but this is the most famous arena in the world. You want […]

March 11th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: 10 Cloverfield Lane Directed by: Dan Trachtenberg Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher Jr. It’s been 8 years since the original Cloverfield took theaters by storm. I fondly look back on opening night when my father and brother had no idea what they were about to watch, having seen none of the […]

March 11th, 2016 MJ Rawls New York is an epicenter for indie rock. If you walk right down Ludlow Street in Manhattan, you will be surrounded by a number of bars housing some of the most intimate shows in the city. On this particular night, Pianos NYC was packed to the max. I had gotten in line where some people […]

March 9th, 2016 John Bazley Artist: Brian Fallon Album: Painkillers Label: Island Genre: Folky, Americana-tinged rock Let’s start with a bold claim, just so we all know where we stand: The Gaslight Anthem’s broken-hearted 2014 LP, Get Hurt, is their best record. For some reason, a lot of critics disagree with that; Get Hurt is not exactly a popular choice […]

March 4th, 2016 Mike Giegerich In furtherance of New York based artists not showing adherence to their city’s classic boom-bap sound, Matty Rico‘s newest release exists far outside the metropolis’ sonic boundaries. Entitled “So Gone,” the single leaves behind the indie-rap flair of his earlier work in favor of a dark, droning beat suited for the rap-leaning side of the OVO Sound […]

March 4th, 2016 Sam Cohen Film: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Directed by: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa Starring: Tina Fey, Martin Freeman, Margot Robbie Whiskey Tango Foxtrot carves out a nice little space for itself next to other breezy, matinee, fish-out-of-water tales. Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa let their mean side take a back seat in this earnest little film about […]
