One of my favorite albums from the 90′s is the Foo Fighters The Colour And The Shape album that followed their debut self titled album.  The first album was a quick recording of some tracks Dave Grohl had wrote while he was in Nirvana but was too shy and nervous to suggest them or start [...]

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while. Doing my series right now. A couple of murals in progress plus i started a series of portraits. This is the first one out of 6 that I will be doing.

I got real into Chuck Ragan’s solo work while I was working for the Bamboozle festival two years ago when a co-worker had told me to check out this guy’s live cd.  I had only listened to some Hot Water Music songs before him so I wasn’t really sure what to expect considering it was [...]

There is this great local band out on the scene now  called 6 Day Bender that has been playing up and down the east coast for the past year in support of their recent album.  I was fortunate enough to check them out this winter at the Brick Wall Tavern in Asbury Park during their [...]

I was watching the movie Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino and just wanted to share the hilarious and very disturbing scene that he did with Mr. Blonde dancing and singing while torturing the cop in the warehouse.  The scene is pretty classic in movies and it just goes to show how something as simple as [...]

Originally Pop was used to describe bands who became popular during an era like the Beatles early work or even somebody as prestigous as Michael Jackson who really defined the genre into a specific type of music.  But now it seems bands are coming out and saying they are stricly a “POP” band which means [...]

It’s funny how over the years bands would break up and the singer would go on to do his own thing because he wanted to break away from the band.  Singers such as Sting left The Police and Phil Collins had left Genesis because they wanted to go on and do their own thing.  But [...]

I was recently watching I Love You, Man and the main theme is centered around two guys becoming tight friends around their love of Rush and how great the album 2112 is.  It’s funny out of all the bands they chose Rush because they really are a phenominal classic rock band and constantly over looked [...]
