Off the next two weeks to track vox for something new (metal!) and wedding duty (not metal!), so sip this one slow. WHAT TO HEAR: Leading the way this week is Portent (Gilead Media), the cauterizing new full-length from middle west black metal collective False. Comprised of four hypercoaster epics, Portent is Six Flags for […]

Hope you all made the most of your may-as-well-have-been-a holiday weekend last time around. These five day weeks are tough, who came up with that idea?
A kitschy restaurant and music venue called the Turk’s Inn opening soon in Bushwick up
The Turk’s Inn & The Sultan Room is opening June 27 at the Jefferson stop in Bushwick. The over-the-top design will be an homage to a restaurant that was formerly in Hayward, Wisconsin.

Top 5 shows of the weekend it
Happy 4th of July! Chances are you’re at a BBQ or otherwise imbibing and having fun instead of reading this already, but so long as you didn’t party too hard, there are some excellent shows to catch up with in the next few days. Personally, we’ve got the AC cranked, the cocktails batched, the dog tuckered out […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend
We’ve had crappy weather for days but the weekends looks like it should be nice, which is good because there are some excellent outdoor concerts to see. This week’s selection is mostly celebrating artists who have been in the game for decades rather then some fresh-faced newcomers, so here’s a big tip of the hat […]
This One Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup
Lots of must-hears this week, so let’s get to the business of hearing them. Onward, downward, whatever. WHAT TO HEAR: Leading us off this week is Baroness, one of the few late-2000s sludge acts, along with Mastodon, still carrying the torch aloft. But a long time (and a lot of miles) have passed since the […]
