| Black Tide’s big break | ||
| By Khan Rosenberger April 2, 2008 As mere teenagers ranging in ages from 14 to 19 years old, Black Tide (formally called Radio) all share an affinity for old school thrash bands such as Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax as well as new-wave of British heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Angelwitch. It really shows in their sound. |

| Panic at the Disco has same boring, bland style | ||
| By Luke Dreier April 2, 2008 When I put on Panic At The Disco’s new album, “Pretty. Odd.” I prepared myself for some more of the same generic, bland, and boring songwriting that bands like The Used, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic At The Disco have all been cranking out for fans lately. That’s exactly what I got for the most part. “Pretty. Odd.” is Panic At The Disco’s newest effort since they released, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” which debuted at #39 on the Billboard 200 in February 2006. The album contains some new gimmicks, however. Much of it sounds like a Broadway musical or Vaudeville tunes. |

| Charlie Bartlett contains humor and social commentary | ||
| By Khan Rosenberger March 3 2008 The film Charlie Bartlett is a story about a boy (Anton Yelchin) who is unaware of why he does not fit in even though he is at a boarding school with rich kids who are just like him. After attending a number of private schools and getting kicked out of every one, his mother transfers him to a public school. Because he is picked on by the school bully, he goes to the family shrink and gets a prescription for depression. Then he realizes he can keep making up problems to get medication to sell to kids in school so he can be popular. He hangs up his shingle in the boys’ restroom where he becomes the new school’s resident “psychiatrist” and starts handing out advice and prescriptions to all who seek him out. |

| The Evolution of Tom DeLonge | ||
| By Luke Dreier March 3 2008 “I was in this punk band when I was younger and signed a contract to say the word f*** as much as I possibly could. Before long we were playing in front of 20,000 people a night. Towards the end I didn’t feel satisfied and when this band started to come to an end I had a choice to make. Would I stop here or would I completely break my life in two and start over again?” said Tom DeLonge former guitarist and co-front man of Blink-182 speaking to a packed house at The Myth in St. Paul Minnesota during a break in the set of his new project, Angels and Airwaves live performance. |

| Dallas Green is all you need for voice and acoustic | ||
| By Luke Dreier Feb 28, 2008 The band City and Colour is not what most would think of as a “band.” It is a lineup of just one man, Dallas Green and his acoustic guitar. City and Colour’s most recent effort since “Sometimes,” which came out 3 years before, “Bring Me Your Love” is the album one would put on during a rainy day spent in thought and retrospect. |
