Against Me!

Jen Cray hoofs it to Orlando's HOB, where she gets an amped-up dose of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and sticks around for a satisfying Against Me! set.

Hideout Block Party 2008

Chris Catania makes it through a weekend of punk, rock, hip hop, sweat, and garbage cans without having his head mistaken for a hi-hat.

Gatorface

Jen Cray is charmed by the BYOB atmosphere as well as the porta-potties at an Orlando Gatorface show.

Bloody, funny, and LOUD, Gwar returns to the stage with openers Kingdom of Sorrow and Toxic Holocaust. Carl F Gauze dodges a giant Chekhovian penis to come face-to-face with Satan at Orlando's Club Firestone.

Pinback

Pinback and sBACH rock the Paradise, and turn Addam Donnelly's frown upside down.

Rise Against

Jen Cray is thoroughly rocked by a triple bill of Rise Against, Thrice, and Alkaline Trio. All killer, no filler? The point can be argued...

The Revival Tour with Chuck Ragan

What's so great about The Social? Just ask Jen Cray, who gets all comfy with Chuck Ragan, Ben Nichols, Tim Barry, and Austin Lucas, The Revival Tour, everyone. Jen's got love.

YELLE

Paul Lucas forgets his «Ce Jue» masque and misses out on a kiss from YELLE, but gets a kick from The Social's lineup of energetic techno pop acts, anyway.
