Ending our fine April we have one last Coachella attendee. While our punk month has come and gone, we’ve got one more punk artist who should have definitely made the grade. Having played with the best and recorded some of the most underrated, yet extremely energetic punk since its invention, our artist proves to be …

Artist of the Week-Kasabian
With everyone buzzing with the massive event that is Coachella we, too, are getting our fill with our artist of the week. This week we have another band that got their start in the 90’s and made it big in the early 2000’s. Taking a dive into the progressive and psychedelic worlds, our artist has …
Artist of the Week-The Hives
We’ve reached that time of year where Southern Californians can rejoice in festival magic. Yes, Coachella is here and this year it’s bigger than ever. For those unaware of the changes made to the schedule, the festival is now a two-weekend event. Due to the rapid selling of tickets, the same line-up will play two …
Artist of the Week-My Drug Hell
Well folks, it’s April and that marks a milestone in this blogger’s eyes. That’s right; yours truly is celebrating his Enter the Shell anniversary! Can you believe it ladies and gents? A whole year of Artist of the Week! Now, I know what you’re probably thinking: That guy’s still around? In any case, that’s what …

Artist of the Week-Ten Foot Pole
March is here and spring is upon us (at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere). And with spring we are granted new life, nice weather, and that great American pastime known as baseball. This week we’re getting a little bit of everything! Our artist this week is one of those great California …
Artist of the Week (Legend Series)-Elvis Costello
February has come to a close and with it our unofficial theme is ending as well. While the rest of the month we have been highlighting power-pop artists, our legend this month, while not a power-pop artist definitively, I regard with having aided the genre by setting the bar of intellectual lyrics with the self-aware …
Artist of the Week-Mike Viola
Given our pseudo-theme of the month, I felt it was only appropriate that we carried on for a couple more weeks. This month has all been centered around power-pop artists and this week is yet another artist who has the ability to belt out catchy, meaningful, and often playful tunes. While power-pop may not be …
