At Brooklyn’s Market Hotel this past weekend, three brothers unleashed enough carnal rock fury to fill up the grandstands of multiple arenas. They even drowned out the clattering noise of the speeding J train as it whizzed by behind them mere yards away from the stage. Hell, if you were ever to catch Radkey at…
When you think of punk in its earliest, purest form, what bands come to mind? The Stooges, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones? How about The Dead Kennedy’s or The Clash? Forget all that nonsense.

Don’t you hate when you’re reading a food blog and you’re all hangry and feeling some kinda way, and you have to scroll down like 80 times in order to get to the goddamn recipe? Yeah, me too. Here’s a list of albums I liked this year. I deem them “the best,” but really they’re…
As if Amy Winehouse hasn’t been exploited enough throughout her life, a hologram of the British soul singer is set to tour seven years after her death. A partnership between Base Hologram and Winehouse’s estate is to thank for this monstrosity. The company will produce a concert tour to “celebrate” the singer’s legacy. Winehouse passed away from…
When the electro-funk-pop duo Chromeo comes to town, there’s a lot of smiling. Sure, fans were more than juiced to be two-stepping it to some funky beats, but David Macklovitch—aka, Dave 1, the group’s singer and guitarist—couldn’t wipe his own grin off his face if he tried.

The Alain Johannes Trio, featuring Johannes (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age, Spinnerette) alongside brothers Felo and Cote Foncea, have released the song “Luna A Sol” featuring guest vocalist Mike Patton. “Luna A Sol is a really special song for me. Not only because it’s my first lyric in Spanish but also because of Mike Patton’s amazing…
It’s been eight lonely, lengthy years since Robyn’s Body Talk reinforced her pop-cult legend. The Swedish songstress’ work emoted through pulsing synths, heavy kick drums and manic hooks that are just as affecting as they are assertive. Though her two collaborative EPs may have distracted us for a minute—Do It Again with Röyksopp in 2014, and Love Is…
