Happy New Year everyone! This was an especially good year for music, which made it tough to choose a playlist for tonight. Great examples of genre-bending rock and idiosyncratic dance music to get your pulse pumping. Check out these albums if you get the chance and see you in 2023!

One time in 2016, my roommate had a playlist on in the background and when the opening spidery riffage of ‘Ankles’ by Palm locked my attention, I […]
Lorna Shore – Pain Remains This is the, personally, long-awaited full-length album with new singer Will Ramos. This American deathcore band shows off their proficiency by blending highly technical metal musician ship, with symphonic and black metal elements.

Wallows have kicked off the US leg of their world tour celebrating the release of their latest album, Tell Me That It’s Over. After their two first shows in Seattle and Vancouver, B.C, the band spent two sold-out nights in Portland at McMenamins’ Crystal Ballroom. Roaring cheers welcomed band members Dylan Minette (known for his […]
In their 2005 album that’s for the most part very radio-unfriendly, Mudvayne utilizes blasting guitar and drum beats to create a blend of heavy and nu metal sounds. As someone who’s really only waded into shallow water in the world of metal, I would immediately recommend this album to a rock fan looking to expand […]
