There’s another new supergroup of sorts on the horizon: two members of Fall Out Boy are using their time away from the band to provide riffs and beats for a new heavy metal side project called the Damned Things. FOB guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley have teamed with Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Rob [...]

inspired by this utterly astounding steel band take on "Transmission" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mm6ycEz2A8). something else isn't it? famous covers, youtube jobs with an acoustic guitar or a dinky keyboard, whatever. not counting tribute acts, though. but counting update versions of...

Before the Pharmacists ever prescribed their first dose of politically-infused, Thin Lizzy-informed indie rock,...

Sorry if this has come up before, but I'm a recent convert to The Word. There's a local TV show called Rockwiz down here on SBS in Oz which I love, very funny host, it's like a drunken pub trivia quiz for rock tragics/obsessives, but on the TV with actual musos. Not sure if you can see it outside Oz, but they put the show online at www.sbs.com.au/rockwiz . Some of the covers they do at the end of...

So, this is the first album from the Plight (I think?) previous releases Black Summer, the Self-Titled and the Demo have all been raging pieces of Rock and Roll inspired Hardcore at its very best. And honestly, this is not exception. It rocks so hard there should have been a sticker plastered to the front that says "WARNING: ALBUM MAY LEAD TO AIR GUITARING". Although this is perhaps a slightly...

More pictures in the same box, it seems unreal now that we saw Thin Lizzy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ten Years After and Sabbath all in the same weekend for just fifteen quid.

With all due apologies to Thin Lizzy and “The Boys Are Back in Town,” our friend Ben and Silence Dogood have been enjoying the return of our winter birds here at our cottage home, Hawk’s Haven, located in the precise middle of nowhere, PA. We’d kept up three tube feeders through the summer, enjoying the [...]

Last week I posted a video of 1970s Celtic rock pioneers Horslips performing the "The Man Who Built America," and I described them as a combination of Jethro Tull, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues. Although it's a great song, there wasn't anything Pogues-like with that tune. "High Reel" moves the needle a bit in that direction, although the feel of it is more in line with British folk...

[ November 27, 2009; 8:00 pm to 11:55 pm. ] Japandroids || Listen what makes Post-Nothing such a thrill is the manner in which Japandroids hold absolutely nothing back. As contagious as any of the lyrics, melodies, riffs, or drum fills are, their energy and lack of self-consciousness is every bit as equally lovable. Opening mission statement "The Boys Are Leaving Town" could be seen [...]...

Can’t beat a bit of Thin Lizzy! But it was more like ‘trudging in the moonlight’ as the safari staggered the hill towards Patch 1 hunched against the rain. At least there was a bit of light from the moon as the clouds broke between downpours and in the gardens a couple of Robins twittered their melancholy winter song as we passed. On the Patch nothing much was doing at all, somewhat...
