Lindsay Lohan poses in Controversial Cover
Apparently freedom of speech or expression isn’t highly valued by all types of people. Recently LINDSAY LOHAN has come under fire for appearing on the cover of Purple, a french fashion magazine. The most recent issue features the photo to the left, shot by TERRY RICHARDSON. Over the top? Possibly. And yet there isn’t really any denying the message that the photo comes across.

All Time Low for A Thin Line from A Thin Line on Vimeo.
ALL TIME LOW is teaming up to help ATHINLINE.ORG spread their message. And what they want you to know? That there’s a thin line between private and public. With the rise of the internet and kids getting their hands on cellphones at a younger and younger age (I swear I saw a three year old the other day who completely knew what was...

That sounds like a whole mouthful of why-the-hell be interested? Because it seems like one of the most honest and friggin awesome approached a contest has taken recently. The NO LABEL NEEDED contest is presented to all by partnership...

After touring across Europe with Billy Talent and Cancer Bats, Silverstein played a short stint in the UK; Leeds, Manchester and London, with Attack! Attack!, a few Welsh boys, and The Amity Affliction supporting. We sat down with vocalist Shane Told to ask a few questions.

Pierce the Veil - Most Anticipated Album 2010
That’s right. Most anticipated album. That isn’t exactly a phrase to be thrown around lightly but Alternative Press has deemed PIERCE THE VEIL’s forthcoming sophomore album to be worthy of such a title as “most anticipated” and after A Flair for The Dramatic it’s hard to fault them for going there. The California based quartet have been writing and recording...

To celebrate the release of their latest album, ‘Sainthood’, Tegan and Sara announced a European tour, the oh so imaginatively named Sainthood tour. On the 14th November, the two girls along with their band and their crew, and a very strange supporting act that went by the name Astronautalis, rolled into Manchester. The line outside (I’ve heard) began at some point around midday....
Band to watch: Gentlemen Hall
Imagine you’re at the bar. (Not 21? Don’t care. You’re at a bar.) You’re just taking a break after dancing your ass off when you are approached by six, strapping young fellows — one of which is wielding a flute.
Excited? You should be.
These six men are Gentlemen Hall. Collectively, they are one of Boston’s biggest upcoming bands, and they are taking you on a...

Interview: Dahvie Vanity from Blood On The Dance...
On the Crunk Kids Tour we not only had a chance to catch up (albeit briefly) with brokeNCYDE but also with the frontman of Blood On The Dance Floor. Trying to snag some time with the flamboyant and energetic Dahvie Vanity was one of the more difficult tasks. Flocks of little girls occupied his time and if one thing could be said it was that after their performance his time became completely...

Interview: Mike from brokeNCYDE
The Crunk Kids Tour came crashing through Massachusetts on October 13, 2009. Held in the small upstairs of the Worcester Palladium, I have hardly seen girls with their love sharpied across their face for any particular band since the Backstreet Boys were breaking hearts circa early 2000. And yet there they were all of twelve or thirteen with BC13 scribbles across cheeks and arms and foreheads...

lovehatehero america underwater out sept 29th
So if you’re looking for any good music next week (say, oh, Tuesdayish) I’m going to have to recommend that the LOVEHATEHERO album be among those you consider purchasing. AMERICA UNDERWATER boasts a big, clean sound of anthemic proportions and some of the most developed vocal melodies I’ve heard in the past few years. Don’t let that throw you off, though. LOVEHATEHERO has...

Dual review: Paramore - Brand New Eyes
On Brand New Eyes, Paramore might have gotten around to taking off their training wheels, but they only have scraped knees to show for it.
The band’s third studio album is their most mature effort yet. However, I’m not convinced that Paramore (particularly frontwoman Hayley Williams) has the chops or drive to reach post-pubescence. Technically, the playing has improved. The guitars in...

Brand New 'at the bottom'?
For those of you who don’t know, Brand New are streaming a thirty second sample of one of their latest songs on myspace, ‘At the Bottom’, the first single to be released from the album “Daisy”. Having been a fan of Brand New from the glorious days of Your Favourite Weapon, I’ve had high hopes for this album given that I’ve never seen a band progess album...

Interview: LIGHTS at Warped Tour 2009
Now we’ve gone over what a freaking hectic bit the whole of Warped Tour in Mansfield, Massachusetts was time and again. The pouring rain. The mud. The grounds that caused kids to herd like cattle to get from one bit to another with little sense of cohesion. Trying to see your favorite band and missing out isn’t the only kind of crap luck that can happen. Press and the likes was...

Interview: Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail at Warped...
The tiny hallway hidden away behind catering is packed. Maneuvering through the tiny room filled with chairs, massive amounts of food, and crammed full with musicians and others on tour was hard enough. Trying not to get crushed in the small hallway while waiting for interviews? Equally impossible. Dripping from the rain that had yet to let up outside (by that point, everyone had determined that...
