    Emo darlings Dashboard Confessional, with some help from openers Beach Slang, lift up a near-capacity crowd in Orlando with heartfelt musings and aching melodies. Jen Cray opened her heart to it all.

    Beach Slang

    The Bleached Slang Tour (Beach Slang + Bleached) brings Orlando to its knees and causes hearts, like Jen Cray’s, to swoon.

    A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings (Polyvinyl). Review by Jen Cray.

  • Belly

    Belly

    Belly brought lot of grit and a touch of grace to the Bowery Ballroom in NYC.

  • Bully

    We Are Nots (Goner). Review by Jen Cray.

  • Big Guava Festival

    Big Guava Festival

    Central Florida has got itself a proper music festival in the way of the BIG GUAVA. Save your gas money, cause with a lineup this good there’s no reason to drive 500 miles north to get your festival fix.

  • Pixies

    WWII (Dirtnap). Review by Jen Cray.

  • Phoenix

    Phoenix

    If Phoenix’s debut Orlando performance is any indication of its future, the little French band is finally beginning to see the fruits of its decade-long labor. An enthusiastic sold-out crowd that included Jen Cray greeted the band with open arms.

  • Silversun Pickups

    Silversun Pickups

    Jen Cray was absorbed in Silversun Pickups’ sonic swirl of gorgeous distortion and dreamy pop as the band opened its summertime tour at Orlando’s Hard Rock Live.
