By Corey Blecha Sparks! Glitter!! Confetti!!! Flood Lights!!!! All just another night at a Blood On The Dance Floor show, where screaming teenagers shake the stage, sing along to every song, and learn the dance moves that will later get them through college.

Instant Empire – Instant Empire [EP]

Jenn Cohen | November 1, 2011 | 1 Comment

Jeanie Straub [email protected] This five-song debut EP released in May by Indie Rock band Instant Empire is instant enjoyment. It is truly a stellar achievement: The lyrics are outstanding on each hook-driven track, and, for having formed only last year, the band sounds truly gelled. The first members got together when vocalist Scotty Saunders posted […]

by Sal Christ [email protected] One thought on the mind of every fan that walked into the Ogden Theatre on Oct. 10 to see The Smashing Pumpkins: Would the show be worth it without the rest of the founding members?

by Tim Wenger [email protected] Their bio on FaceBook claims that they aim to please, and that is exactly what Torch the Wagon does with their new record, Let It Burn.

by Jeanie Straub [email protected] Free Radt is after a whole new sound with Love 101, although the band is still very much made by the vocals of singer/songwriter Katz Romero, who has a voice and ability like Grace Slick and can take on any female singer from PJ Harvey to Bjork to Debby Harry. These […]
