A Day to Remember

A Day to Remember puts on an intense performance for a sold-out venue in Pennsylvania. Kristina Kauffman pushed her way deep into the crowd.

Bad Religion celebrate their 30-year career the only way they know how: by releasing a killer new album and touring the country playing songs off of all 15 of their punk rock defining releases! Jen Cray was at the party without her hot pink wig.

Caribou

Canadian electronica whiz Daniel Snaith (Caribou) brings down the spirit of Brian Eno at a very crowded, smoky Backbooth in Orlando. Jeff Schweers wallowed in the trance-heavy psychedelia.

Circa Survive

Circa Survive and Dredg put on a pair of performances at Orlando's House of Blues that should officially release them from their previous emo trappings. Jen Cray reports.

Gary Numan

British synth-pop pioneer Gary Numan hit the U.S. concert circuit this fall, much to the delight of hundreds of his most ardent Orlando followers, Chris Long among them.

Gayngs

A recent Gayngs concert in Chicago swept Chris Catania up in its euphoric blurring of musical lines.

MGMT

MGMT's debut Florida appearance may not have been as over-the-top as Jen Cray imagined, but it was a still a party worthy of the inevitable headache the morning after.

Phoenix

If Phoenix's debut Orlando performance is any indication of its future, the little French band is finally beginning to see the fruits of its decade-long labor. An enthusiastic sold-out crowd that included Jen Cray greeted the band with open arms.

School of Seven Bells

Just two days after one half of the identical twin sister vocal team that makes up School of Seven Bells unexpectedly departed the band, Jen Cray caught their newly downsized performance.

Styx

Cashing in on the current classic albums craze, Styx returned to Melbourne, Florida to recreate two best-selling records in one hit-filled evening that had Chris Long enthralled.
