Admittedly, this is a hypocritical topic for me to write about- I’m the first to tell you that I don’t like limits, especially the speed type.  But, as I sit here listening to a record (yes, an actual vinyl disc thingy that’s spinning on a turntable) it’s gotten me thinking about some things…like limits. (MORE)

 “The ‘90s are coming back!” That’s what a friend of mine said upon first hearing about Hootie  & the Blowfish’s concert last Monday. For the past two years, we’ve watched the return of artists like Green Day, Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Toadies and Goo Goo Dolls — musicians that defined our youth. (MORE)

I rarely am able to get out to the local clubs to just enjoy a show unless I am actually producing the event, but when I heard my boys 20 Saw You Die were going to be opening for SOMA and Supre X at The End, I knew I had to make it out.  (MORE)

In the music business, the mold is to be hard-nosed and ready to do anything you have to in order to further your career.  Even if this includes going against your better judgment.  But with all rules, there is the exception.  And her name is Lisa Loeb, the lighthearted and musically soulful singer/songwriter from Dallas, Texas who decided to take the world by storm. (More)

I’m sure we all remember the recent Totemsoul-Gate when we all had our fun for a few days at the expense of Totemsoul.  Mac challenged those of us who had never seen them to come out and do so.  Well, that’s what I did.  Twice. (MORE)

this night was the end of an era; it was Matt's last show with Bueller before he moved back to California...... (MORE)

The Tragedy Kings are -individually- good artists.  Each player is obviously talented at what they do.  However, I did notice several spots on this CD where somebody either hesitated a note or dragged it (read 'lack of confidence').   (MORE)

Smooth vocals that will lull you in and before you know it your head is bobbing and your body is movin’ to Arrica Rose.  Her voice is full of strength with gentle overtones passing through.  The Arrica Rose style marries an alternative edginess with a bit of Pop-Americana. (MORE)

Last night was a most interesting experience.  I mean it wasn’t Peelander interesting, but still interesting nonetheless.  Some friends were playing at 12^th and Porter and had invited me out. (MORE)

So what does a producer do, anyway? That's a very good and very tough question. To answer it I'm going to get multi-media on your asses. (MORE)

Press Release - 08/10/06

The band Overzealous IS a group of zealots. The three-piece of Dustin Sellers, Brad Crittendon and Tim Adler sound fanatical about 90’s alternative rock. In the tradition of Weezer’s doo-wop, Ben Folds’ piano, Filter’s anger and Matthew Sweet’s tenderness, they have created songs fit for a time warp. (MORE)

PRESS RELEASE - 08/14/06

In order to understand Motorhead, you don’t need a history lesson about all the different members, management, albums, or labels that they’ve been through over the years.  Frankly, we don’t have that kind of time. (MORE)

fORMER is a band out of Murfreesboro, TN.  Their music is lighter than what I normally listen to...  no growling, no screaming, no insane drumming speed.  Just an all-around good ol' "Pop-Rock" band is how I'd label them. (MORE)

Press Release - 9/12/06

This article isn’t really about stuff that happens in a recording studio, or anything to do with recording at all really- so if you were all stoked to read about a stripper being carried around a control room on a saddle, too bad. (But let me tell you this: it was awesome!!)  (MORE)

Going down the long winding road of music, you live a double life.  It’s an angel and a devil. The guys out there that pull the long miles and play endless shows are few and far between in today’s scene. (MORE)

PRESS RELEASE - 10/29/06

This CD is very well produced.  From what I was told, it was mostly Rex working on his computer, studio time with the individual band members and something about a mattress being stood up on it's end.  (MORE)

Far too many times I’ve had artists apologize to me for taking too long in the studio to record a basic track, guitar solo, or vocal performance.  (MORE)

This is going to be one of several articles I write attempting to describe the many roles of a producer during the recording process. (MORE)

I kept reading about this whole Movement Nashville thing for months and would repeatedly dismiss it as just another attempt by a handful of people to lift up the rock and roll scene here and would die off after a short time. But, the proof is in the pudding as I quickly learned how organized and successful the Movement Nashville group is.(MORE)

The human ego will forever prevent the two most significant re-unions in the rock universe from ever happening. Pink Floyd and Guns and Roses. Roger and Dave , Axl and Slash, leading their respective original units (sans Syd Barrett , rest in peace , crazy diamond) to the promised land of riff , word , and wonder. Yes , I am the eternal dreamer. Interview by RoosterPuddin (MORE)

Been writing songs since I was 14...that'd be around 1988. I started Lucero with Brian Venable in 1998. We wanted to experiment and see if we could incorporate some elements into a band that we had never tried before. What if everything isn't fast? What if you try to write a song like Tom Waits or Johnny Cash? That was the beginning. Interview by RoosterPuddin (MORE)

After the sun set Friday night June 16^th, 2006 the streets of Cookeville were quiet all except for South Depot St., home of The Factory Live Music Club in Cookeville, Tn. Point Blank took the Stage as the opening Band for the night, straight out of Tallahassee, FL. With their metal krunch riffs , funky bass lines, low tone high energy drumming, and lyrical hip-hop undertones with melodic demands all wraps together to make a sound they call "Drop D Digital krunch".

Seether have a cold night?  Not possible.  Even when playing a live show without guitarist Pat Callahan the band pulled off yet another hot performance.  Vocalist, Shaun Morgan opened the night's fireworks with "Gasoline," taking on role of lead singer and lead guitar the entire night, and donning Mickey Mouse apparel. (MORE)

June 15th I left for Bonnaroo from Murfreesboro with four guys I had never met. I knew of them through a friend, as she went with them last year. I felt like a hitchhiker, a tag-along journalist who was in it for the story. (MORE)

Bursting onto the music scene with her uncompromising 2005 debut album Ringing in My Head, 22-year old Orlando native Cori Yarckin has defined herself as an engagingly original artist in an age of cookie cutter pop clones. Her propulsive songcraft blends confessional lyrics with modern rock attitude and sharp pop melodies, offering a radio-ready sound that is often compared to a modern day Pat Benatar. (MORE)

We loaded in about 7pm and discovered that the drummer from the previous Wednesday's night show was still loading out (it seems that he'd had too much to drink that night).Some groups might be annoyed at this... (MORE) 

In my last article I talked about how much a bad demo can cost a band, not necessarily in terms of the price of recording, but rather the cost measured in missed opportunities.   The next logical step would be to talk about the actual price (dead presidents, benjamins, moolah, green, cabbage, etc.) of a good demo.  Well, I’m not going to do that.  It just wouldn’t be my style. (MORE)

NEW ARTICLES

Music’s gotta live man, it’s gotta breathe.  So say’s the rocking philosopher, Eddie Wilson.  By now, most of us know that the voice behind the enigmatic singer/songwriter  is none other than John Cafferty. Bleed The Sky California's own Bleed The Sky seems to have literally fallen from the sky and landed themselves right in the middle of metal recognition at an alarming speed.  In a press release from bands label, Nuclear Blast we found out that Bleed the Sky was asked to join Ill Niňo, God Forbid, Silent Civilian, and Eyes of Fire on the Jagermeister sponsored "One Nation Undivided" tour 2006. (MORE)

I’ve discovered the secret.  To all you songwriters out there, there is a place you have to go to in order to go from good writer to great writer.  Some people don’t know how to put their thoughts into words, but if you do, then stand back because I’m going to let loose with a secret that has been kept under wraps for too long.(MORE)

The history of this soon to be legendary band is somewhat different from most.   Disclaimer was released in 2002, as Seether hit the road with over three hundred shows alone that year. (more)

Fair Warning was started way back in the late 90's by four gents who wanted to pay homage to one of the the greatest rock n' roll bands ever - the mighty Van Halen, the David Lee Roth era.(more)
