Review: Cinematic Sunrise – A Coloring Storybook and Long Playing Record
Label: Equal Vision Released: May 13, 2008 The presense of Chiodos’ Craig Owens and Bradley Bell will likely lead listeners to expect that band’s bold and expansive offshoot from hardcore, but nothing could be further from Cinematic Sunrise. This project replaces punch with pop and challenges with safety. While that might not make every Chiodos fan happy, it at least… Read more »
Warped Tour 2008 Interview: Chap Stique of Family Force 5
Family Force 5 have played all but a few dates on the Warped Tour since it began last month. Their brand of Voltron-inspired electro-punk certainly makes them one of the more unique bands on the tour. I got the chance to catch up with guitarist Chap Stique to see how things have been going. RnRnMN: How has the Warped Tour… Read more »
Review: Billy Idol – Idolize Yourself: The Very Best of Billy Idol
Label: Capitol Records Released: June 24, 2008 Billy Idol’s early career in Generation X is of questionable importance, even in the UK where they had a handful of charting singles. If you like early British punk, Generation X put out a couple records worth hearing, but neither is a definitive album in any way. It was as a solo artist… Read more »

Review: David Bowie – Live Santa Monica ’72
Label: Virgin Released: July 22, 2008 This set has long been known to Bowie fans, because of its quality and accessibility (it was broadcast on LA’s now-defunct KMET after all). But there’s more to it than just that. The show finds Bowie on his first US tour, completely immersed in his new Ziggy Stardust persona and at the first of… Read more »
Vans Warped Tour 2008!
I spent all day yesterday enjoying plenty of sunshine and rock and roll at the Baltimore/Washington stop of the Vans Warped Tour. Coverage and pictures are on the way, but here’s a quick shot of the huge circle pit that the Street Dogs had going around the sound tent. See all of my Warped Tour coverage here.
Review: Mötley Crüe – Saints of Los Angeles
Label: Motley RecordsReleased: June 24, 2008 What should we expect from Mötley Crüe at this point? They’re 25 years past their prime and they certainly didn’t continue to release material worthy of their recent resurgence over the years. On the other hand, they did manage to bounce back once and make a decent album with 1989’s Dr Feelgood after a… Read more »
Review: Tanya Tagaq – Auk ~ Blood
Label: Jericho Beach Released: July 29, 2008 When I was 16, my parents took me on a trip out West. On that trip, we spent three days at the Grand Canyon. Oddly enough, it wasn’t the most striking thing I saw on that trip, not because it wasn’t amazing, but because it was just too much to take in at… Read more »
Review: Son of Dave – 03
Label: Sparks Music Released: August 12, 2008 In a world that is so often style over substance, it’s easy to get caught up in something clever only to find that there’s no substance under the covers. Having been bit more than a few times, it’s also easy to go to the other extreme and forget there are artists out there… Read more »
