While the rest of world lumbers off down constipated highways to flesh-choked cultural landfills like Myrtle Beach and others of equal or greater disgustingness, you, Mr. or Ms. Independence, have chosen to throw a wrench into the gears of the infernal machine–to say fuck, the tzaztiki and turn your back on the pneumatic bolt gun-destined […]
Titus Andronicus announce seven inch series and Shea Stadium show via live webcast
In what may be the weirdest transmission yet from Space Station Stickles, the indomitable Titus Andronicus frontman announced, via live web cast last night, the indie icons’ SEVEN SEVEN INCHES subscription series, bestowing upon all worthy subscribers seven new limited edition seven inches once every seven weeks (beginning 7/7/14) for nearly a year’s worth of […]
Martrydoom III kicks off at Saint Vitus tonight
Unless you’re one of the several thousand volts currently coursing into the skull of Brooklyn’s heavy metal Frankenculture at the moment, then there’s a very real chance that, even in its third year, you might not know much about Martyrdoom. One of New York City’s best music festivals (for lack of a better term), the […]
The five best things we saw at Northside Festival
To quote the immortal words of Detective Roger Murtaugh, I’m too old for this shit. Over the past several years Brooklyn’s biggest music bash, Northside Festival, has spread its reach ever wider–welcoming venues from Greenpoint to Bushwick, domains from tech to film, pushing 25-going-on-47-year-olds-who-couldn’t-resist-going-to-see-Parquet-Courts-the-night-befores like myself to the darkest depths of their fuel tanks. Barring […]

Northside Festival Interview: Pallbearer
When opening a dialog of Pallbearer, it’s difficult not to frame everything in relation to their triumphant debut, Sorrow and Extinction. And perhaps that’s fair; it was named among the best metal albums of 2012 by the likes of Pitchfork and Spin and singlehandedly introduced the Arkansas doom quartet to an entire subset of listeners who […]
2014 Northside Music Festival preview
Four days. 50 venues. 350 bands. It’s Northside Festival again, or, as we call it, the most wonderful time of the year, and if you weren’t paying close attention to the local blogwaves, then you might not have even realized it was happening on your doorstep. Unlike spectacle-heavy music fests like Governors Ball and Electric […]
Top five non-Governors Ball shows this weekend
There is no escaping the shadow Governors Ball will cast over New York City’s show-going scene this weekend. Whether you missed out on badges, drying your salty, resentful tears with a signed poster of André 3000, or have been too busy scoffing from your Black Flag-wallpapered cool dungeon to care (Childish Gambino? Mwahaha, tasteless fools), […]
Pallbearer announce new album in advance of Northside Festival showcase
After two years, a million riffs, and countless tour dates, Southern Doom overlords Pallbearer—the de-facto metal breakthrough of 2012—have officially announced their sophomore album, Foundations of Burden, due August 19th via Profound Lore. Their simultaneously devastating-but-life-affirming debut, Sorrow and Extinction, is by no means an easy act to follow, but Pallbearer have armed themselves accordingly, […]

It’s summer festival season, and your wallet is echoing uncle every time you open its empty leather folds. We get it. These price points aren’t easy on a Williamsburg loft-blasted bank roll, no matter who is playing (Outkast) and how […]
