Back in 2007, I gave ex-Soundgarden/Audioslave singer Chris Cornell's second solo CD, Carry On, a reasonably positive review (generally, reviews were mixed on the album). Though it lacked any strong singles beyond "You Know My Name" (the theme from the...
I thought maybe this wasn't Ashes Divide. It's too punky, too guttural, too, well, tribal. Sure enough, the band performing is experimental techno-punk percussionists Street Drum Corps, which was originally supposed to open the Revolution Stage on this tour. Then,...
Atreyu finished on the parking lot-simmered Revolution Stage at 5:05 p.m. Ten minutes later, a rush of fans stormed the lawn on its south side. Whether they were allowed to do so is unknown. But it's not exactly a controlled...
OK, I have to give Atreyu proper props. Though Alex Varkatzas is struggling with range and projection, both he and his bandmates' energy is highly commendable Of the bands that have emerged out of Southern California's hard-core and screamo scene,...

It's pretty easy to describe this band's music: a more mature and atmospheric 30 Seconds to Mars. And since that Jared Leto-led act's gonna be a while releasing a follow-up to A Beautiful Lie (y'all've heard about Virgin's asenine $30...
What a difference two years and a tragedy make. Hawthorne Heights, one of the premier acts of the emo movement in the past five years, has dropped its 22-month-old lawsuit against Victory Records, which alleged everything from fraud and abuse...
