I first saw Liam and Me on accident. I was in Hoboken, NJ, and had showed up for the Action Action show with The High Court (who turned out to be awful, btw). The show was stolen that night, however, by an extremely catchy indie pop band with a gold microphone. Liam and Me was the only band that night...

After six years of fighting the pop-punk good fight, New Jersey quintet Houston Calls announced that they will be calling it quits. The announcement may have come as a surprise to some since the band recently released their second full-length, End Of An Error, in October 2008, but apparently life on...

Everyone should know by now how we feel about Hit The Lights here at Guerrilla Radio, but we just got more good news about everyone’s favorite pop-punks. On the heels of their quintessentially awesome sophomore disc Skip School, Start Fights the Lima, Ohio quintet are going to release a digital only...

Pop-punk is an oft-maligned genre, but here are a few classic albums that show just how legit pop-punk can be. 1. Green Day – Dookie (Reprise, 1994) Personal story: I heard “Basket Case” and straight up freaked out. I had never heard any form of punk rock before and I instantly fell in love with...

It’s really hard to follow up a fantastic first album, but New York-based electronic pop rockers Young Love managed to hit another home run with its sophomore release, One of Us. Every part of the new LP is catchy and designed to make you want to throw a strobe light party in your living room. Of...

Bust out the defibrillators, everyone; rock newbies, Shock Stars, are selling out shows in the Midwest and putting fans into cardiac arrest in the process. Or at least their album name, cover artwork, song titles, and hospitular lyrics would have you believe as much. You’re right: hospitular isn’t...

The first time I saw Ghostland Observatory, I had no idea what to expect. I’d never heard them before, and trying to get a reliable description of their music was like hearing several witnesses describe Bigfoot Sightings - I knew they were talking about something huge, but no two descriptions...

If you take a look at the Vans Warped Tour roster from a decade ago and compare it to the lineup this year, you can clearly see the extent of the  evolution of this awesome music festival. In fact, I’ll probably compare it to that chart my Biology teacher had in 10th grade in a future post. But...

My mom always said that technology makes you stupid. I can see decent arguments on both sides of that one. You can do and learn a lot with the aid of something with a silicon chip in it, but you can also grow dependent on it (like my friend who can’t drive anywhere without the GPS on, even if she’s...

Music genres are as amorphous as they are hard to define. Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been getting into what I call a new genre - a mix of electronica and techno elements with indie-alternative styles. Or indie bands adding keyboards and awesome electric effects in order to turn themselves...
