Critics and music sites almost always classify the music of Brooklyn-based band The Men as punk or post-hardcore, but singer and guitarist Mark Perro said the band views their own music in much looser terms: friends playing whatever music they like.
The music world lost a great man this past weekend, as Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away from cancer. I won’t claim to be a huge fan of the Beastie Boys, I honestly only know a few songs well, but Yauch is part of a generation that has influenced pop culture for 25 years, and his contributions deserve acknowledgement.
Hey gang! Wasn’t Mifflin rad? I bet we all did totally awesome things that were original and hilarious that we can’t really remember cause we drank SO MUCH, amiright? Except I, ever your faithful columnist, did not make it to Mifflin this year. I could pretend that I was swayed by the wise words of Lori Berquam, or that I decided that Mifflin is sophomoric or that I was busy seeing a band you never heard of because they are still underground or whatever, but alas, I would be untruthful. Nope, I didn’t make it to Mifflin because of freaking Lyme Disease.
The green fields of Vilas Park will run a stained red Friday afternoon, after the vaunted journalists of The Daily Cardinal will once again slaughter their foes from equestrian journal The Badger Herald in the papers’ annual softball contest.
The Gaslight Anthem released a new single yesterday, from their upcoming major-label debut Handwritten, on Mercury records. The song is a return to some of the more punk energies from their debut, but it still maintains some of the Springsteen-esque qualities that engineered their success.
Just because pop-punk outfit Motion City Soundtrack look and sound like they should be a guilty pleasure doesn't mean they have to be, and they certainly aren't for Jeremy. Despite the stigma, the band is talented.
There are some songs and bands on my iPod that I won’t readily admit to. Well, in theory.
Word quickly spread across the UW-Madison campus Thursday of a humanities major earning paid employment upon graduation, resulting in reactions of confusion, despair and hope.
Thousands flocked to Bassnectar’s performance at The Alliant Energy Center last April, and it seems this year’s audience will turn out an even bigger crowd for bass head Lorin Ashton’s auspiciously timed Friday the 13th show.
The end of a band is always a sad thing. Music plays a huge role in people’s lives, and for a band to call it quits may not seem like a big deal if you’re not a fan, but the hope that maybe there’ll be just one more record means a lot to some fans.
I’m constantly astounded by the inherent hypocrisy of metal. The genre seems naturally limited—I mean screaming and raucous guitar can only go so far, I mean. There’s a sense of communal purity to the music as well; deviations from the established course are grounds for derision, mockery, and cries of ‘that’s not real metal!’ But despite that, I dare you (this is really happening, I’m actually daring you) to find a genre that’s sprouted such an incredibly diverse litter of subgenres. For as puritanical as the scene is, it’s also insanely multifaceted—often to the point of actual frustration. I know it better than anybody—to a little bopping indie kid like high-school me (whose ‘heaviest’ interest was the Chili Peppers) the world of metal was a terrifying and stupefying realm of upside-down crosses and burly, bearded men.
Just under a week has passed since We Were Promised Jetpacks’ final South by Southwest (SXSW) performance, yet the band has already embarked on a two-month-long North American tour. This schedule, combined with an earlier European tour and a solid string of SXSW shows, means members of We Were Promised Jetpacks have found 2012 crammed with action.
My favorite kind of playlist is the one that is totally random, but still fits nearly every day perfectly.
The “Born in Flames” Tour featuring Invincible and Tamar-Kali comes to Madison Saturday, March 10, to celebrate women in music.
Every once in a while it is required that a columnist takes out a personal frustration in print, for everyone to see and comment on. Once a week usually does it. So what has me pulling my hair out this week?
Bitching about the current state of the music industry has been cool ever since punk-rock broke through in the mid-1970s, probably even before then, but it hit the mainstream with CBGB's and the Ramones. I even used to be one of those people, and I guess I still am a little, but when really looking at it, the music industry is almost in better shape now than it has been in the last ten years.
I owe the powers that be a great big thank you for my broken iPod screen. Normally, this would be the bane of my existence, forcing me to turn on the clicker so that I can discern where I am in my list of artists. But lately it has been better at figuring out the perfect tunes for whatever mood I might be in than I am.
There has been a recent uptick in the number of foreign bands I listen to. Not because I'm anti-American music-I've got plenty of that too-but because I've found or been introduced to some amazing foreign musicians that I think deserve a little love.
The Daily Cardinal got the chance to speak with Zumbi and AmpLive of Zion I prior to their show at The Majestic on Saturday, Feb. 4.
The SOPA and PIPA controversies have been on every music-lover's mind, and it was a relief to many when the legislation was dropped. However, it does leave us with questions that will inevitably effect us in the future, as the issues that SOPA and PIPA attempted to address are far from being byone woes.
