more -
#167 - Militarie Gun (Ian Shelton)
When I say Militarie Gun is one of my favorite bands, that's not an understatement. The band's June 23 release, Life Under The Gun, put an exclamation point on that remark. It felt like record from a veteran band - one that has been around for 10-20. However, for Militarie Gun, they have only…

#166 - Fidlar (Zac Carper)
A magazine wrote earlier in the year that Fidlar is unapologetically back. The group took a noticeable three year hiatus right before the pandemic. They were burnt out after touring 10-11 years straight. But, what often gets misconstrued is that Fidlar planned the whole time to step away, which…

#162 - Oso Oso (Jade Lilitri)
I saw Oso Oso several years ago for the first time in a small town in New Jersey. I was instantly hooked after their debut album, Real Stories of True People Who Kind of Looked Like Mosters…, and always wanted to see them live, but never really had the opportunity. Around 2018, right before…
