Get Up Kids Get Themselves Mixed Up with T Pain
About every music news site out there has been covering the story about The Get Up Kids apologizing for being an influence on the “neon” bands of today. So I did a little research and none of the pop bands of today even list The Get Up Kids as an influence. I looked at 10 [...]
Two New Weezer Songs are Horrible
Weezer debuted two new songs at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival in South Korea last week. The songs are titled “I’m Your Daddy” and “The Girl Got Hot.” They are both terrible terrible songs.

Welcome Freshmen, Local Music Style
Ahh freshman move-in day. You arrive awkwardly with your parents to meet your undoubtedly odd roommate and move into a space smaller than you have ever been before.

On The Road with The Rocketboys Week 3
Week 3 of our summer tour has been an eventful one, to say the least. Probably what tops the list is that we received our final mastered album from the mastering house.
