From the preview Gone Away Again : The Fiery Furnaces, Cryptacize, Dent May (Chop Suey) Just when you thought you'd never hear a straightforward recording by the Fiery Furnaces again, along comes their new album I'm Going Away (Thrill Jockey).

Favourite Gig Fridays: Friday the 13th Edition
The Glass Walking-Stick (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009
My Official Worst Gig Ever: The Screaming Ameebas / Death Planet Commandos, July 1988. Not just your average bad gig - you know, boring band, arrogant frontman, grotty venue - but the Seventh Circle of Hell itself. We ( that is, the semi-legendary Death Planet Commandos ) were supporting the Screaming Ameebas at a black hole of a venue called the Night Owl. We'd seen the Ameebas around the local scene...

MTV Newsroom (Free subscription) | 11/09/2009
Maybe it's the volatile nature of the beast, but it always seems like it's extremely difficult to keep a good hardcore band together. With all that raw emotion coming out of the singer's throat and the inevitable misplaced flailing limb, it's no wonder that many of the most intense groups break up just as they're [...]

Westword | Complete Issue (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
In the rock world, singing drummers are almost as rare as talking dogs. But Grant Hart, the man who assaulted the kit for Hüsker Dü throughout the '80s, was more than a novelty back in the day. Besides writing and lending his voice to almost as many Hüsker classics as his guitar-sl...
