Feature — August 20, 2023

Swing Your Lanterns is another achievement in the large output of Ivan Julian.

Wallow and explore in the surf, fighting to survive in more turbulent waters. …

Interviews: Dwarves

Feature — November 15, 2023

The secret is now out: Blag Dahlia makes a mean omlette! A really mean omlette. Over breakfast, I had the opportunity to speak to Blag about the recent Dwarves LP, his alter ego Ralph Champagne, cancel culture, the music business, musical influences and spatterings of random thoughts. Put your order …

Music / On The Air: On The Air with Stella Stray Pop

Feature — November 30, 2023

By Matt Hutchison -- A Jesuit school might not be what the general population would consider a thriving spot for underground music culture, yet that’s part of the allure of KXLU 88.9 FM. Entering the radio station’s cluttered, vinyl-stacked, and sticker-tacked fourth floor production area is like stepping …

David Scott Schwartzman's "If It's Tuesday This Must Be Walla Walla": The Wacky History of Adrenalin O.D The Wacky Hi-Jinx of David Scott Schwartzman Often deemed the funniest band in hardcore, A.O.D. were a staple in the heart of hardcore: laughing their way out of New Jersey into …

Interviews: Doctor Explosion

Feature — January 9, 2024

Doctor Explosion first "exploded" (yes that was intentional) onto the scene in 1989 from a picturesque city along the coastal area of Northern Spain. Perhaps, not a household name in North America yet but these things take time much, like when you sip a fine Scotch and let it slowly …

Ramona Jan has a storied career as a pioneer who established herself as an audio engineer in an industry largely dominated by men. With Ramona’s connection to Mediasound, she orchestrated her band at the time -- the Comateens (in 1979) -- to record their first single, “Cool Chick/Danger Zone” on …

Interviews: The Anomalys

Feature — November 22, 2024

Hailing from Amsterdam, Netherlands - The Anomalys have almost been together for 20 years! Not mellowing with age (it’s not in the formula), they continue to ply their trade of high-energy rock and roll: burning up stages and leaving supporting bands and fans in limpid pools of blubbering, drooling, …

UltraBomb is Greg Norton - Bass (Hüsker Dü), Finny McConnell - Vocals and Guitars (The Mahones), and Derek O'Brien - Drums (Social Distortion), replacing Jamie Oliver (UK Subs).

I'm alive and so are 999! They formed in London in 1976 and quickly became one of the favourites of the first wave of the UK punk scene. Energetic, colourful shows soon took them a hop, skip, and swim across the large pond to North America where they continued …
