Why I Love Van Halen: It was a rough year

By - Brian Teasley Sometimes people ask me why I love Van Halen so much. Well, seventh grade was the worst year. It was the year I switched from private to public school.

Mono – Oath

By - Jason Hamric Mono has been building their incredible soundscapes, using a blend of normal "rock" instruments along with orchestral elements since the late 90's. To get the sound they are looking for, they partnered with Steve Albini, who as you know recently passed away. He was not just a producer (a title he hated) or sound engineer; he was a friend and an important part of their creative […]
