Shallow Side set the rock world on fire a few years back with their cover of Styx’ “Renegade,” which set the stage for their first full length- Origins, which just released last year. Fast forward just eight months and they’re back again with Saints & Sinners. Normally, when a...
Review: Dream Theate...
By: Jacob Marcheschi
It’s been over three years since Dream Theater’s last release: the highly divisive and sprawling The Astonishing. Fans have been desperate for some classic Dream Theater since that album came out. For this record, the band secluded themselves in a studio in New York to write and record....

By: Jacob Marcheschi
While She Sleeps is a metalcore band from the UK that has started to break into the scene over the last three to four years. The band has been around since 2006 and is preparing to release their fourth full length studio album So What? One of the highlights of So What? comes at the very end of...
Review: I Prevail Ma...
By: Reggie Edwards
I Prevail exploded out of nowhere a few years ago with a blistering cover of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space,” but they also set out to prove that they’re much more than just a Tswifty cover band. When they released their debut record- Lifelines they did exactly that and there was no...
Review: Silvertung- ...
By: Reggie Edwards
Rising rock heavyweights Silvertung are back again with their latest offering in But at What Cost??! and it’s one that’s guaranteed to take them from the ranks of upcoming bands to rock giants. Getting things off right is “Dodging Bullets,” which hypnotizes you with this authority and...

Review: King 810- Su...
By: Jacob Marcheschi
King 810 have returned with their third full-length studio album in early 2019, Suicide King. This album sees the band as a two-piece after guitarists Jason Hale and Andrew Beal and drummer Jason Workman left the group rather unceremoniously. Those departures leave only vocalist David Gunn and...
Review: The Everyday...
By: Reggie Edwards
When a band catches fire, they either keep the momentum going and continue to rise or they fizzle out and the latter seems to happen a lot when a local band is on the cusp of something big. This isn’t the case with Washington, Ind.’s Everyday Losers, who consistently go further with each...
Review: Tobymac- The...
By: Reggie Edwards
One thing about Tobymac is that he never makes the same record twice- Momentum, Welcome to Diverse City, Portable Sounds, Tonight, Eye on It and This is Not a Test all featured different styles and sounds and, love it or hate it, he’s always kept current with what’s popular. His latest...
Review: Unearth- Ext...
By: Jacob Marcheschi
There is no denying that Unearth’s 2014 release Watchers of Rule was an absolute banger of an album. However, frontman Trevor Phipps said that he thought the songs off that album didn’t have the intended impact on their live audiences. Fans had to wait four years, but the pioneers of...
Review: All That Rem...
By: Tera Ford
All That Remains are getting ready to release their 9th studio album Victim of the New Disease. 2017’s Madness was a little more on the softer side give or take a few songs so diving into this new album I was blown away at how heavy it is from start to finish. There are a few slower...
Review: Architects- ...
By: Jacob Marcheschi
Architects is a band that has been consistent and prolific throughout their 12 year career. However, it has been over the past two years that they have faced some major adversity. In August of 2016, the band lost founding member and guitarist Tom Searle to skin cancer at the age of 28. They...

When Skillet’s John Cooper announced his new project, Fight the Fury, fans immediately started talking and the buzz began. Then it was announced fellow Skillet member Seth Morrison would be joining and the anticipation grew immensely. From the very beginning with the teaser the band posted,...
Review and Interview...
By: Reggie Edwards
When a successful artist or singer branches away from their band and does a solo project, it’s usually because they have music in them that just doesn’t fit the mold of their full-time band and that’s exactly what Thousand Foot Krutch frontman Trevor McNevan’s new project- I AM The...

By: Tera Ford
Sylar has made their way onto everyones playlist over the last few years. Their 2016 release Help! consisted of songs like Assume and Dark Daze which were extremely successful on the rock charts and with fans who felt a deep emotional connection to the band. Now they’re back with their third...
