Le cut-up populaire. Review by Julius C. Lacking.
First-time author and rock-concert veteran Steve Weinberger has written perhaps the funniest overview of the mosh-pit population ever. Like a mad scientist, Weinberger categorizes and analyzes every species of concertgoer in No Air Guitar Allowed, painting them with deft satirical strokes and a surprisingly empathetic eye. Ink 19 and Weinberger discuss how he spent years of his life illustrating the differences between KISS and indie-rock fans.
Ancestor (Kemado). Review by Jen Cray.
Heavy Music (Beatville). Review by Jen Cray.
Win Us Over (Volcom). Review by Jen Cray.
Though this festival built its reputation as a lovefest for jambands and hippies, Bonnaroo in 2007 opened its arms up to more modern rock bands, bringing in a whole new audience. One new convert was Jen Cray, whose weekend in the mountains of Tennessee is not one she’s soon to forget.
Wolfmother (Interscope). Review by Michael Crown.
Between Earth & Sky (EMI/Rethink). Review by Jen Cray.
Classic Seventies Rock-inspired Wolfmother prove that Australia isn’t just about vegemite and koala bears. Jen Cray soaks in the sounds from down under.
