Tim Fite

Tim Fite demonstrates to a Chicago crowd that a spoonful of sugar really does help the medicine go down.

Off With Their Heads

Encores at tiny punk rock shows?! They're rare, but Jen Cray and a whole bunch of hungry fans dug this one.

Screeching Weasel

As Carl F Gauze reports, every Mohawk and black t-shirted punk in Central Florida dropped in to pogo at the feet of Screeching Weasel and The Queers at the Hard Rock in Orlando.

Silversun Pickups

Jen Cray was absorbed in Silversun Pickups' sonic swirl of gorgeous distortion and dreamy pop as the band opened its summertime tour at Orlando's Hard Rock Live.

Surfer Blood

Surfer Blood stole the headlining spot right out from under tour mates The Pains of Being Pure at Heart for a semi-hometown Orlando gig, but Jen Cray doesn't think that they earned it.

Though The Melvins were official headliners, soon-to-be defunct Isis stepped in as the closing band for a Philadelphia show that shook the rafters of the TLA. Get the scoop on the show and read Mike Hanan's revealing chat with Isis frontman Aaron Turner. That's a twofer, folks!

Too Fast For Love Tour

Ian Koss has seen the future of boy bands, and boy, does it have one #&@% of a potty mouth. Skip the bar, and settle in for the latest batch of music to piss off your parents.
