This week is a tribute to one of the greatest and most original sounding bands that has been on the scene for the past while, The Matches. It is a sad fact that The Matches are calling it quits after years of doing their thing. On Tuesday fans will get a final serving of the music they have loved with...

Chances are good that Have Nots will be stopping by a city near you on their current US tour, in support of their record Serf City USA. When they do it would be worthwhile to check out these Boston ska punks. Who: Have Nots From: Boston, Massachusetts Best song: “Poisoned Antidote” Label: Wonderdrug...

Set Your Goals is a unique blend of pop-punk and hardcore.  One thing that sets them apart from their peers is their use of two lead singers, something that not just any band could pull off.  They just released a new record last week called This Will Be The Death of Us on Epitaph Records. Who: Set...

Portland’s Icarus the Owl is not your typical pop punk outfit, they keep it fresh with melodic guitar riffs and odd time signatures.

Beatsteaks are a flavor of punk rock that never gets tiresome. Beatsteaks have sold out many huge shows, played massive tours and festivals, sold a grip of records (some of which have seen chart action in their native Germany), and have played shows for crowds of nearly 18,000. The best part is they...

There For Tomorrow just had a new record come out, and it’s a good one. The new full-length addition to TFT catalog is called A Little Faster. If the buzz of their 2008 self-titled EP is any indication, we expect nothing less than a bunch of excited TFT fans upon giving the new CD a listen. In addition...

The City Never Sleeps is a refreshingly hard to categorize rock outfit from Middletown, NY. The City Never Sleeps is unsigned, relatively new on the music scene, but undeniably catchy.
