I know that this show means that summer is just that much closer to being over, but seeing Queens of the Stone Age with Phantogram was one of my most anticipated concerts of the year!

Scary Kids Scaring Kids – Out of Light, Album Review
Given that the one and only time I got to see one of my favorite high school bands, Scary Kids Scaring Kids was with Saosin’s ex-vocalist Cove Reber at the helm, it only makes sense to me that they took a lyric out of the song he featured on for the bands new record, Out of Light. Now, it was new as of last fall and I hate myself for waiting this long to check it out in full, but here we are.

I always seem to distract myself and then cram in a bunch of new(er) music all at once. That’s exactly what happened with Anberlin’s new EP, Convinced.
Read moreConcert Review: So Much For (Tour) Dust
In case there is any question as to whose concert this was, it was Fall Out Boy. Clearly a play on their recently released album, So Much (for) Stardust.

Social media really is influential. Since I follow White Reaper, all of its members, and even some key touring folks, of course I am seeing them post from all sorts of shows! And yes, I did just see them at the end of May, but my ears miss their music in a live setting, so after some scrolling through their tour dates I found that they were set to play a small barbeque festival in a suburb of Detroit. That’s only three hours and some change away! So I convinced my BBQ-loving friend to tag along for the ride.
Read moreThe Pink Spiders – FREAKAZOID!, Album Review
I have had The Pink Spiders on rotation in my life since Teenage Graffiti came out, but this is the first time I’ve returned to new music from them in earnest. I know there was a bit of a rocky history as far as permanent members went beyond lead singer Matt Friction, so I’d say that’s the reason I never quite stayed current with them.
Read moreQueens of the Stone Age – In Times New Roman…, Album Review
How are we getting so lucky with so much good new music?! The rare gifts of the pandemic are still plenty it seems, and I’m not complaining. It’s been six years since Queens of the Stone Age have released new music, but they sure managed to deliver with In Times New Roman…
