This June, Montreal outfit NOBRO put on the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection’s best punk performance of the summer when they brought The Go For Broke Tour – a double-headlining run that had them sharing top billing with almost-equally rad Canadian punks Bad Waitress, in addition to...

Los Angeles-based/Bologna-bred synth pop trio Nuovo Testamento – comprised of Chelsey Crowley (vocals), Giacomo Zatti (drums), and Andrea Mantione (synth) – will be spending their Halloween at Baltimore Soundstage, sharing a bill with our old phriends Scowl and new phriends Whispers (along with co-headliners Sunami).  And while Scowl, Sunami,...

This Wednesday is opening night of what is likely to be the most exciting double-headlining tour of the fall, when longtime friends and collaborators PUP and Jeff Rosenstock (and openers Ekko Astral) team up to bring their no-frills DIY punk rock to massive nightclubs and ballrooms across the US. ...

“We play every show like we’re the headliner… give it a million percent every time,” says Coco Kinnon, frontwoman, multi-instrumentalist, and co-producer of Winona Fighter, which is rounded out by Kinnon’s best friend (Dan Fuson) on lead guitar and husband (Austin Luther) on bass and production duties.  Lucky for...

“I will say, it is really fun to take a space that feels like a jazz club and just fucking tear it up,” jokes Lomes Oleander, frontwoman of Olympia-based country/punk band Pigeon Pit, who were supposed to play the Music Hall at World Café Live this coming Friday, June...

During a recent Zoom chat with vocalist/guitarist Eric Egan, I found out that, for a number of years, a lot of people thought Heart Attack Man were from Philadelphia…  While the punk trio did record 2017 debut LP, The Manson Family, at Headroom Studios, and they have played more...
