January 26, 2012 Foxy Shazam deliver a surprisingly infectious collection of tracks by revisiting (and reinventing) the grandeur of 70's classic rock on their new album 'The Church of Rock and Roll.'
The Starbucks Venti Egg Nog Latte has more calories than a Big Mac. We wondered what might happen if someone were to enjoy these two overindulgences…together. We wondered. We didn’t want to attempt it. Luckily, one of our writers did.
Mock us if you must, but we’ve always been suckers for running around pretend forests while wearing green skirt-tunics and imagining we’re pointy-eared, boy heroes.
Even if ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ was a terrible disappointment that also punched you in the groin every time you loaded the game, you’d have to buy it.
October 20, 2011 Lou Reed & Metallica have finally unleashed their bastard love-child, as 'Lulu' can now be streamed in full at their website. It's gonna get weird as we take you inside the album with our pull-no-punches review.

Staind's seventh studio, self-titled album (released today Sept. 13th) takes them back to their roots -- a place where their music could melt your face -- a long over due return. This album has the deep overdriven guitars and heavy lyrics that echo of 2000's 'Dysfunction' and 2001's 'Break the Cycle.'
August 23, 2011 The Red Hot Chili Peppers new album is almost here and eager fans are dying to hear what the band sounds like post-Frusciante -- their new track 'Monarchy of Roses' should give you a good idea.
August 17, 2011 Danish rock band Volbeat rolled through Flint, Michigan Monday night to play a gig at The Machine Shop. For those of you not familiar with the band -- imagine James Hetfield singing 'Whiskey in the Jar' and early Glenn Danzig's vocals combined, add in the guitars of Green Day, Queens of the Stone Age, mix in helicopter-like thrash metal rhythms and a splash of rockabilly and you almost have an idea what the band sounds like.
July 28, 2011 Dirt Fest 2011 performers Givensix have just released their new album 'Harvest' after almost two years of working on the project. The Flint alt-rockers bring a fresh sound to the table that feels like having a meal with Patrick Bateman of 'American Psycho' while Tool, Rage Against the Machine, and Primus jam the dinner music. If you're confused by that loaded statement, this is a good thing. Check out my full review of the new Givensix record 'Harvest'.
