My father, wife and daughter accompanied me on a work trip to Orlando this week. We spent the weekend exploring the world Walt built. January is a great time in Mouse Town as the lines arn’t too long and the heat is at a minimum. Overall it has been a great experience, but there...

I am literally running out the door to catch a flight to San Francisco, but couldn’t help sharing the latest from the Chelsea Wolfe camp. A few days ago Chelsea tweeted that she was ‘living inside an XXL biggie smalls t-shirt‘. What seemed an odd statement at the time now makes sense. Full time...

Seminal post-hardcore band At The Drive-In are reuniting after 11 years of silence. Well, not exactly silence, we have had Sparta and The Mars Volta.

Post-hardcore was a short-lived passion of mine. Having discovered Minor Threat and Black Flag slightly too late to be a part of that movement, my generation could be found trying to recreate that scene with bands such as Good Riddance, Strung Out, Lagwagon, NOFX and others. When the old regime did come through town,...

It’s hard to believe it has been less than a year since we started talking about the black-veiled songstress Chelsea Wolfe. Since then she has released two albums, performed at SXSW, toured Europe, shared a stage with acts as diverse as Liturgy, How To Dress Well and Julianna Barwick, and now her Zev Dean...
