The story of Gulch was an amazing hardcore myth, and it got a beautiful storybook ending. Gulch came ripping out of San Jose, bringing a frantic, chaotic, confrontational sound and carrying themselves like post-apocalyptic warrior urchins. They quickly became the toast of the hardcore world. Their live show was famously intense, but they became even […]
Steven Tyler Denies Sexual Assault Claims, Lawyers Accuse Aerosmith Singer Of “Gaslighting”

Moses Sumney, Halsey Cast In Ti West’s MaXXXine
Last year, the cult indie-horror director Ti West came back from a long absence with X, a deeply entertaining slasher set on a ’70s porn shoot.

Bands come and go, as none of them have the ability to stay relevant or keep playing music forever (unless you’re the Rolling Stones.) While some bands may have created more of an impact or are more successful and popular than others, they all have one thing in common: They all have their first show […]

Buggin – “All Eyes On You”
The tough and frantic Chicago hardcore band Buggin, formerly known as Buggin Out, have been absolutely crushing shit in the three years since they released their self-titled debut EP.

The Philadelphia band Paper Bee includes members of All Dogs and Radiator Hospital, and they’ve just announced a new album called Thaw, Freeze, Thaw that will be released next month.
