After the parking debacle (finding a place to park in DC is nearly impossible), we headed into the show. Stebmo, the side-project of current Earth keyboardist/trombonist Steve Moore, was the opening (continued…)
Photos: Megan Friend From electro house-pop to Americana, cinematic post-rock to hip hop, and everything in between, on paper, Saturday’s Sweetlife Festival sounds like a classic case of ‘apples & oranges,’ but the third annual food and music festival felt like anything but that.

Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns N’ Roses live at the Fillmore For me, it’s always been about the music. My father was editor of the iconic hard rock publication RIP Magazine, which was birthed when Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction appeared out of nowhere to take over the (continued…)
What ever happened to the good ‘ol days of rock ‘n roll? And when I say “good ‘ol days,” I don’t mean the times when tweens went ape-shit over four British dudes with the same haircut, or the LSD-fueled era of peace, love, and 25-minute guitar solos. I’m talking about (continued…)

Photos by Joshua Feldman The Hold Steady might be the most prolific band around today. Sure, that’s a bold statement: But take into consideration that in their seven years together, they’ve moved from a lyrically quirky bar band into a universally-revered act that sells out nearly every club. Led by (continued…)
Before every punk gets into punk, they usually go through a ska phase. It typically happens in middle school or early high school and it almost always comes complete with tragically goofy outfits consisting of suspenders and fedoras, half-grown sideburns, and an overly-ironic sense of forced positivity. Sure it may (continued…)

In a whirlwind performance at the Black Cat last weekend, the Australian indie pop act Architecture in Helskini kept the crowd dancing all night long. Opening the show was New York-based synth pop act Hooray for Earth. Their name was more upbeat than their music with their sound predominantly consisting of (continued…)
When one thinks of pop music, thoughts fly to glitter, overexposure and blah vocals sung over recycled beats — and then comes Natasha Bedingfield. Yes, she of the sunny and upbeat, be-all-you-can-be artist in pop music. Yet, the U.K. native tore up the stage at the Birchmere in Virginia Monday (continued…)

There’s something ethereal about the vocal heights that Madeline Follin’s voice can climb. As one half of the indie band, Cults, Follin and Brian Oblivion (guitarist and bandmate) blazed through an amazing set at D.C.’s Rock N Roll Hotel this past weekend. On tour for their recently released, self-titled debut (continued…)
