We Walk this Road (Warner Brothers). Review by Christopher Long.

Let’s Build A Roof (K-Records). Review by Carl F Gauze.

Have Guitar, Will Travel (Roman Records). Review by Christopher Long.

Aerosmith’s legendary co-founder, Joe Perry , delivered a set of gutsy, hard driving rock at Orlando’s House of Blues.

Too young to be fully cognizant of the more embarrassing excesses of Gothic music over the past twenty years, the young Turks of NYC’s own Blacklist are, perhaps unwittingly, the best hope of redeeming Goth-metal. Fresh from a European tour complete with horned hotel antics, Blacklist frontman and provocateur Josh Strawn told Ink 19 all about how he learned to stop worrying and love Motorhead and Scott Walker equally.

Infinite Light (JagJaguwar). Review by Matthew Moyer.

Gavin Rossdale may be a musical shapeshifter (Bush, Institute, solo), but he never fails to entertain a crowd. At his recent Orlando show, Jen Cray was bowled over by Mr. Gwen Stefani, and swept away completely by opening band Nico Vega.

Rob Levy braves the danger and mayhem of one of the UK’s most legendary punk bands to interview Captain Sensible , guitarist and longtime member of The Damned , about a variety of topics including the new album So Who’s Paranoid?

Mazes (Parasol). Review by Aaron Shaul.

Pacific Ocean Blue (Sony/Capitol/Legacy). Review by Matthew Moyer.

Colin Meloy Sings Live! (Kill Rock Stars). Review by Aaron Shaul.

With material co-credited to Paul McCartney, Jean-Philip Grobler’s Kites has caught the attention of music industry luminaries. However, he’s intent to make music his way, in his own time, resulting in his current EP You and I in the Kaleidoscope. Three years to make an EP? Grobler talks about that misconception, and promises his next shot of arena rock won’t take so long, but warns it might include a full orchestra in St. Paul’s Cathedral. S D Green tries to harmonize with the former South African choirboy.

Catherine Avenue (Love Minus Zero Recordings). Review by Matthew Moyer.

After being sidelined with tendinitis and the birth of her first child, Ani DiFranco has returned to the road, making her way to Florida for the first time in four years. Jen Cray clocks this show at the Tampa Theatre as her eighteenth time seeing the little folksinger.

Under the Blacklight (Warner Bros). Review by Jen Cray.

If Looks Could Kill (Merge). Review by Aaron Shaul.

For his first show at home, in Gainesville, in 13 years Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers brought along The Strokes and- unannounced- special guest Stevie Nicks. Jen Cray couldn’t believe her luck at being able to attend and photograph the event.
