I never understood how some songwriters were capable of writing 30+ songs to choose from for any given album. Like, that’s a lot. And luckily, if you happen to be Beck, all of them are seriously awesome. So now his somewhat lost K Records album One Foot in the Grave gets reissued, and it comes...

All right. So you know when it’s late and the only thing left to do in this life is masturbate?  You troll around the tan and silicone wasteland past the Vivids and the Bang Vans and the German Goo Girl’s Piss Box until you stumble on some young emo chick POV and your hardon gets...

  Rebelution has some big britches to fill.  Following their explosive debut album Courage To Grow the Santa Barbara boys have faced a challenge that many a talented young band has – how to follow a successful break out. Bright Side Of Life is Rebelution’s second full length album and is highly anticipated in the...

They always say that B-sides are B-sides for a reason. If that’s to be accepted then, “No One’s First And You’re Next” is already off on a bad footing. Consisting of unreleased tracks from Modest Mouse’s last two albums, “Good News For People Who Love Long Album Titles”, and “We Were Dead Before We Wrote...

I’ve been eager to hear the brand new album by Justin Broadrick’s Jesu project for some time now. While I’ve been overly critical of his most recent work in the past, I’ve always tried to keep an open mind. Assuming that he was taking a great band and a great idea and mutating that idea...

Comparisons are so unfair.  They really are.  Yet, it’s the first thing anyone wants to do when describing music.   “They totally sound like…” or “Its like a cross between…”.  If I actually had any sort of musical talent and was out there creating music, it would at the very least, annoy me to hear...

It may seem strange, with summer being almost over, to be talking about an EP which exudes sun, sand and sea. But Spanish electro pop act Delorean have crafted a work that transcends a mere of the moment joy. Whilst sparkly pop acts like Passion Pit and Empire Of The Sun might have songs that...

We all download music. Some of us use legal sources like MP3 stores, others go down a less legal route. The repercussions of the latter are often brushed over due to the ridiculous claims massive corporations make about profit loss or whatever it is that get their collective knickers in a twist. Rarely do we...

The premise of these three bands sharing a bill together is pretty awesome. The premise of these three bands combining all of their sets into an unbroken, round robin type affair made me pretty skeptical. But holy hell did it work. With all the members of Deerhunter and No Age on stage, the former’s “Cryptograms”...

Find it at: www.rivalsons.com The Rival Sons are like rock and roll defibrillators – surging electric life back into the heart of what we thought was lost. I, for one, could not be more relieved to hear that heart beat on their debut album Before The Fire. I consider myself a fan of classic rock,...

These black boots are a tattered history. For years they carried me burnt, torn and ignored from show to show through wretched pulp of this city’s lazy snow. To Alphabet bars where all the whiskey living interrupted fishnet dreams. Across the blood of bolder men. Through shattered glass. Snuffed cigarettes. Past the rabble slurring Armageddon...

Amidst the brick walls of an elusive and undisclosed rehearsal studio in L.A., each brick lovingly vandalized by artists such as Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, Pinpoint Music sat down with singer/songwriter J.D. Webb and talked about the release of his new album “The Introduction”. We asked him questions regarding everything from...
