John Frusciante’s Trickfinger negotiates between chaos and peace in real-time When we think of an artist embarking on a solo career, it’s usually seen as a narcissistic endeavor to some degree. The dissenting member feels that their ideas need to break free of the crucible of the band and perhaps that their clout as an...
For someone like myself who grew up with a healthy respect and understanding, affinity even, with punk music, the inclusivity of punk scenes, the roaring passion from the artists, their fearlessness in performance, intelligence in expression, birthing of social movements, the wild, charismatic characters…it was a thrill to hear the words and see footage of...

You can go watch it right HERE, but it inspired me to write today about...
“Simplify, simplify” Thoreau teaches us in Walden. It’s something that I think a lot of bands could learn from, that with simplicity we find greater success. This is a bit of a tough one and you are going to need to bear with me. I want to clarify that while punk and hardcore might be...
One of the truly funny, and oftentimes sad aspects of the music industry is how rapidly people become elitists. I see this happen all the time, and it sucks. The music business is a space that is not only stratified (Which makes sense) but also one where people with even the smallest modicum of power...
I know that this blog is primarily band focused, but given how viral the article I wrote last week about what bands can do to promote their local shows went I wanted to focus on the things that makes your show a banger, or at least make the bands not feel like you totally screwed...
So I just saw a pretty major band that I used to manage broke up. And they broke up because the singer decided to be whiny and was upset that even though his band had only really been touring for two years and was getting cool record deals he still felt he wasn’t where he...
So I’m currently reading Ari Herstand’s fantastic book, How To Make It In The New Music Business, a collection of smart and relevant pieces about the state of the modern industry. It is genuinely helpful and, as opposed to many of his peers is extremely practical. One thing he talks about is the concept of...
You know what amazes me? The fact that I have been a fixture on the Northeast metal scene for pretty much my entire adult life and I can still meet people who it is helpful for me to collaborate with at local shows. That shouldn’t be a thing, but somehow it is. This happens all...
