Underoath - Breaking: Maylene and the Sons of Disaster Who: Birmingham, Alabama’s Maylene and the Sons of Disaster come by their thunderous, southern-fried hard rock honestly. Frontman Dallas Taylor honed his roar with Christian metalcore outfit Underoath before splitting with that band in 2003. Noting he was “ready for a change,” the singer left his hometown of Ocala, Florida, and headed to Birmingham, where a chance hang at his roommate’s band practice planted the seeds for MATSOD. “I didn’t think I’d pay music for a long time.

Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd’s Gilmour Recalls Jamming to the Moon Landing Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11’s landing on the moon. If you were alive on July 20, 1969, you were likely doing one of two things: Watching astronaut Neil Armstrong’s historic giant leap for mankind, or packing for Woodstock.

Neil Young - Neil Young - Fork In The Road (2009) Fork In the Road is the new album from the suddenly prolific Neil Young. On this effort, the Canadian rock icon has written a string of songs all in ode to the automobile. For the most part, that automobile is his old Lincoln which has been retro-fit to run mostly on electric power. It's a concept album in every spirit of the term. Never one to mince his words, Young is pretty front and centre on his feelings with this record. He attacks corporate bailouts, car companies, and big oil with fervour. At the same time he's equally enthusiastic about 'the awesome... Alexisonfire - Alexisonfire - Old Crows/young Cardinals (2009) What does it take to be full of passion and high-energy after three acclaimed albums? It takes Chris, Dallas, Jesse, George and Wade just being themselves. Sure, the ensuing review of 'they've changed' or 'they're not what they used to be' may result from Old Crows/Young Cardinals, but this is merely a writer reviewing one album over six years ago. Truth is, AOF set the bar with Watch Out! and they simply never looked back. Sure, AOF's self-titled major label debut was that of hard-core and raw energy, but that does not discount what they have recorded since then, it...

Saosin - Warped Tour 2009 Get to Know the Band: Saosin Saosin is no stranger to touring. Their powerful stage presence has always been a perfect match for the high-energy Warped Tour.

He is quoted as saying: "I've done a lot of cardio. I'm actually at the point where I think I've got a little obsessive/compulsive about it.
