Foo Fighters ensured a buzz-worthy concert event when they brought along Jimmy Eat World and Against Me! for an evening of big rock in Orlando. Jen Cray was not about to miss this unforgettable night.

Victorious (Nettwerk). Review by Aaron Shaul.

The Orlando date of the Against Me! tour was scheduled in competition with the annual Anti Pop Fest, but the band’s loyal followers could not be deterred. Jen Cray skipped out on the multitude of alternate shows happening downtown to spend another evening with these Gainesville boys.

Trampoline (Drive Thru). Review by Jen Cray.

American Hearts (Superphonic). Review by Jen Cray.

Not rain, nor the humid Florida summer night air could keep Jen Cray away from checking out former D Generation vocalist Jesse Malin’s show as part of the Death & Taxes tour.

Glitter in the Gutter (Adeline). Review by Jen Cray.

Leave the Light On (Mighty Albert/Signature Sounds). Review by Sean Slone.

Glory Bound (Pirates Press). Review by Jen Cray.

The Hold Steady are in part known for the copious amounts of alcohol they consume onstage during every performance. How much alcohol can they actually get through in an hour and change? Jen Cray was at their Orlando gig to find out.

Strawberry Lover (Ryko). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Brit-pop smash Starsailor is working on a foothold in America. Chris Catania sat down with James Walsh to find out about breaking in a new country, Bright Eyes and why American crowds giggle during “Alcoholic.”

Tripping Maggie. Review by Kyrby Raine.

Promoted as being headlined by Long Island’s soft Indie Rock crooners, As Tall As Lions , an early show at Orlando’s BackBooth was shuffled to allow Alt. Country talents, Band Marino to close the night. Jen Cray woke up early to make door time.

Magpie (Fiction). Review by Sean Slone.

You Know Who You Are (Mono Vs. Stereo). Review by Jen Cray.

Lost In America (Vanguard Records). Review by Andrew Ellis.

Really, it’s a no-brainer, but Alex Woodard tells Andrew Ellis just why he traded a career in accountancy to become a singer-songwriter.

Tournament of Hearts (Sub Pop). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Live From New Jersey (Columbia). Review by Sean Slone.
