Music | It Gets Real With Motion City Soundtrack

Then you should like Motion City Soundtrack; Justin Pierre, Joshua Cain, Jesse Johnson, Matthew Taylor, and Tony Thaxton create a group that is some weird threesome-love-child of these other bands, but with a slightly more mature sound that bumps them out of the teen-rock genre.

Music | Something Sweet for the Ladies
May 16, 2012 9:00 am MusicSomething great can arise from even the most meager beginnings. Yeah, a little corny but true nonetheless.

Music | A Little This, A Little That

Music | Why IM5 Gets 2 Stars at Best
May 9, 2012 9:00 am MusicBoy bands carry a certain level of nostalgia for the 20-somethings, which is probably why boy groups like The Wanted and One Direction are currently all the rage.

Music | Not Your Grandparents’ Jazz
May 7, 2012 9:00 am MusicDustbowl Revival. The name pretty much says it all. This roots/jazz collective draws inspiration from the music of the 1930s and ’40s. We’re talking blues, jazz, hillbilly, and even a little swing and all mixed together into this weirdly enjoyable groove that makes you want to do the jitterbug. Or the two step. Either way, [...]

Music | Delightful Sounds from Andy Kuncl
May 3, 2012 8:00 am MusicAhhh, refreshing, like a cold glass of water after a hot summer day. This is such a unique mix of genres and a great combination of sounds. I’m diggin’ the electro feel here, but even more than that is my interest in the funky sounds and the mix of jazz. My favorite, “Thank You” has [...]
