RIOT FEST DENVER: DAY ONE Weather: 86 degrees and Sunny Show: 4-12am With a show this large, it’s impossible to get the full experience of every band playing? But the experience of the festival? Well that part is easy. The explanation of the festival is simple: one part carnival, one part punk rock (with a […]
This kind of show is what local Minnesota music is all about. Two genres of music that no one could imagine being on the same bill. Two types of fans who would have never expected to jam together in one night. And two people who made all of it possible. Review by Tyler Norkunas - […]
September 9th at the Myth Nightclub in Maplewood, Riley Downs and myself attended the Rise Against show with supporting acts Radkey, and Touche Amore.

At the ripe age of 18 I got my first job working at the super conglomerate, Wal-mart. What does any sensible 18 year old purchase with their first paycheck? They buy an album, of course. My first album was none other than 10 years debut album, ‘Autumn Effect.’ I got a chance to sit down with the […]

I can’t believe this is my first time seeing a Linkin Park show, but it was. I grew up on the West Coast at the height of “Linkin Park-mania,” when Hybrid Theory was played almost in it’s entirety on the radio each week and skinny white kids were given another icon in a tank-top and […]

The Carnivores show with AFI, 30 Seconds To Mars & Linkin Park was un-real.

I hope you all enjoy these photos […]
The Twin Cities based hip-hop duo known as Atmosphere came through Minneapolis tonight via the “North of Hell tour”.

I’ve been […]
