Female-trio Wetdog join the ranks of Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls carrying on a tradition that began with bands like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney in the ‘90s. Whether the U.K. ladies would appreciate the Riot Grrrl tag is unknown, but they recently toured with The Slits so we’re in the right ballpark. Certainly they share a similar esthetic: buzz-saw guitars, surf bass-lines, and shouty...

The Moon has held a strange fascination over our imaginations ever since our hominid ancestors first looked up and gazed upon our closest companion. The Moon has been seen as the abode of strange beings, the cause of Madness (hence Lunacy), the power that triggers Lycanthropy and many other things too. Musically, Moon has traditionally been rhymed with June, but that hasn't stopped musicians using...

SENSE OF COMMUNITY & MUSIC - One of the things I like best about music is the sense of community it helps you amass. I think of the people in my life who have come to me through music - in one way or another - and I truly feel gifted. One of these people is our friend Bradley Searles. Brad is the man behind Bradley's Almanac (an incredible music website) - he and his family recently learned that...
