Movie Review: Barbie

Caption: MARGOT ROBBIE as Barbie in Warner Bros. Pictures’ “BARBIE,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. Right from the bat you can tell that everyone who worked on this movie put their heart and soul into it. The color palette, nostalgic costumes, choreographed dance numbers and diverse characters echo the childhood memories of this iconic doll line. With bright pastels, splendid acting and a…

Static-X, DevilDriver, DOPE, and Wednesday 13 Makes Reverb the Hottest Venue in Town

Static-X, DevilDriver, DOPE, and Wednesday 13 Makes Reverb the Hottest Venue in Town

Sunday July 7th.  Reverb – Reading, PA

It’s hard to turn down a chance to see a band you grew up with when they reform after a decade.  Even rarer considering the loss of the most recognizable figure, in this case, Wayne Static of Static-X.  The original line-up has reformed for a round of touring (celebrating 25 years since their debut and best-known album ‘Wisconsin Death Trip’) and work on…

John 5 Invasion 2019 at the Sellersville Theater

John 5 Invasion 2019 at the Sellersville Theater

An evening of guitar virtuosity was enough incentive to bring me back to one of the area’s nicest venues  The old timey feel of the Sellersville Theaterand the strict seating arrangements lent a feeling of a more focused than usual audience.  Unlike my other time there, the pit area in front of the stage was occupied by tables and stools instead of a standing general admission audience.  The…

Exclusive Interview: Goatwhore

The 2018 edition of the Metal Alliance Tour which began on Halloween came to a close on November 30th in Easton, Pennsylvania at One Center Square.

For reasons to be explained later, I was unable to see any of the local openers and much of Gozu’s set. 

For that reason, let’s resume with The Great American Ghostwhich brought intensity to the stage and brought their energetic stage show to…

Exclusive Interview: Exmortus

Friday, September 7th Reading, PA – Reverb

A violently rainy Friday night couldn’t stop truly devoted metal fans from a show.

Eyes of the Living

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to catch any of Eyes of the Living’s set, as I was….occupied by an interview. They could be heard slightly from up in the green room and an excited concertgoer shared his enthusiasm about them as I stood in line for…

Silverstein – Photo by Henry Chung

Over the last decade, there have been a number of bands that have come to define the Warped Tour for a generation. The ever-present Silverstein has certainly done their part to carry the flag.

In fact, they’ve done so much, they even came back for a stretch on this final run after doing it just last year.

Exclusive Interview: Sinking Our Teeth In With Sharptooth

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be torn apart by a velociraptor?

I certainly hope not, that would be an odd and unpleasant thing to dwell on, wouldn’t it?

Perhaps the musical equivalent to this, though, would be experiencing Baltimore’s favorite co-ed hardcore band Sharptooth.

I spoke to their fiery frontwoman Lauren Kashanand we dove…

Exclusive Interview: Doll Skin

Exclusive Interview: Doll Skin

With the overwhelming number of bands at Warped Tour and the limited time, it’s usually easiest to try to just stick with the handful that you’ve known for years. While that can be fine, it can also be rewarding to branch out a little bit and get a glimpse at the next generation.

85 Interview - Doll Skin

Speaking to Sydney Dolezal from Doll Skinwas a joy. Though they may be young,…

Exclusive Interview: Digging Deep with Buz McGrath of Unearth

Exclusive Interview: Digging Deep with Buz McGrath of Unearth

The last we heard from Unearth, they had put out ‘Watchers of Rule’ in 2014 and had done some touring. That seems par for the course but the landscape around them had shifted.

Most of their New England brethren had undergone some transitions: Killswitch Engage had reunited with their original singer and was starting to build back momentum, dusk fell on Shadows Fall and All That Remains charted a…

Since @vanswarpedtour kicks off in a few days, I thought I’d share some of my favorite pics for over the years. Here’s @alkaline_trio in Camden, NJ closing the night back in #warpedtour 2010. What I loved the most about this shot was the sun going down and you can see the Philly skyline in the background. Also, it’s there was a massive crowd but from the able you only see a fraction of it. #warpedlooksback

Re-Edit: @stygoc on ‘The Infamous Tour’ at the @tlaphilly 12.16.2012 While digging through my hard drive, I found an old pic from a few years back and decided to take another stab at it. I don’t really delete much knowing that someday down the line, my post processing skills will improve so I save everything I shoot. (at TLA)
