Yes, I can’t get enough of this band as of late. It seems like they’re everywhere. But I stumbled across this song a couple days ago and I couldn’t help but laugh at the title. All jokes aside, the track rocks. It will be on their EP Life Sux due out Sept. 20 via Nathan … Read more

Three years ago, my friend Cam approached me with a proposal most folks would never agree to. He wanted to throw a concert party in my basement, on a Tuesday of all days, with the event named after him. I was a little reluctant initially, but it doesn’t take much to convince me to host … Read more
