Punk Isn't Dead, You're Just Not Looking Hard Enough
We're in a much different world today than we were back in the early 2000's. Culture identities, social life, politics, brands, and music have all taken twists and turns in the past 20 years or so. Back in punk's glory days, bands such as Blink-182, Green Day, Sum-41, Alkaline Trio, Taking Back Sunday, and many more were selling out arenas, getting air time on radio stations, and bringing out the inner emo in us every second they could.

Top 10 Best Stoner Rock Bands You Should Hear Today!
Stoner rock is one of the metal sub-genres that took on a life of its own, and there’s a reason for that. It has some tasty riffs, tons of cool distortions as well as an interesting, groove laden sound, and killer musicianship. All of that adds up to create maybe one of the coolest types of music that you can find. This genre and scene is so distinct and rewarding that you just can’t find anything like it. And it shows the true value of what these pioneering bands did and are doing with it. Read the list and give a listen to find out why stoner rock music is not just for stoners.

Why It’s Time to Stop Calling Greta Van Fleet the Next Led Zeppelin
From their breakthrough onto the rock ’n’ roll scene, Greta Van Fleet has been garnering comparisons to the legendary Led Zeppelin. Now, there are definitely worse things to be linked to but it doesn’t help that from the moment they started to be recognizable, they were dubbed “the band that sounds like Led Zeppelin.”

What I Learned From Chester Bennington's Death
Some of us are looking forward to Friday. Where I'm from, many schools are breaking up for the summer that day - it's a day to celebrate, to get excited, to dream up ideas for things to do to fill six sunny, carefree weeks. I should be one of those people. But as excited as I am to finish the school year, my mind will go somewhere else during the final assembly. More precisely, to thoughts of someone else. Someone who can't be with us anymore.

5 of the Best Rock Bands I’d Suggest Seeing Live
I am a bit of a concert junkie and I’m a proud metalhead. I’ve been going to concerts with my dad since I was 10. I feel at home when I’m attending a concert; we’re all just one big family. The atmosphere of concerts is something just purely amazing. Below will be a list of my top 5 favorite bands that I’ve seen live, and I’m suggesting you go see them too before they’d retire or break up.

The Problems With Streaming
We've come a hell of a long way from the days where only vinyl records and cassette tapes could be found in music shops. Remember when you had to listen to songs from track 1 to track 12 on albums? Or how about when money got between you and listening to every band that ever existed? Streaming has taken all of those little annoyances away, having opened us up to a whole new dimension of music, often for free, all-you-can-eat style. We have all of the albums, playlists and songs we could possibly want within a few clicks. Brilliant! Right?

Artist Profile: Billy Raffoul
Billy Raffoul's voice has this rawness that makes every lyric feel so real; creating a story in my mind. The Canadian-born singer has an amazing voice that has captivated the rock world; with a likeness to Neil Young and Jeff Buckley.

Greta Van Fleet Delivers Rock Brilliance in Toronto
There’s something special when a band makes you want to break the sound barrier with how loud they're blasting through your speakers. Greta Van Fleet is certainly one of them. The exact same can be said while being in the front row at one of their shows.
