Gorgeous Frankenstein: A Gorgeous New Style Of Music

August 26th, 2008 Posted by Jason Baudendistel

Even after leaving The Misfits, Doyle Frankenstein knew that he still would have music as a part of his life. The punk legend went on to form Kryst The Conqueror before his recent formation of the metal band Gorgeous Frankenstein. Doyle’s newfound metal home is steadily building a cult following of metalheads and punk fans alike.

Fight With Tools

August 21st, 2008 Posted by C Zuver

Yes, we can figure out how to ride a bike with no handlebars.

But can you start a band that not only puts rock, rap, and politics together without making critics use the Rage word and puts rap that isn’t typical “white boy” brand corny in the mix?

Taking the advice of Rolling Stone, I paid www.Kingsofleon.com a visit –official site of Kings of Leon- and listened to their new single “Crawl”. Holy fuzz, Batman! This song has a great opening riff and when the vocals start up, strap yourself in. Those dapper boys from the South are really branching out musically and lyrically. I also checked out another track, “Sex on Fire”, which...

Gig Review: Coldplay, TD Banknorth Garden, 8/4/08

August 14th, 2008 Posted by J Frazzetta

You could ask me how this show was, or you could ask: Gwyneth Paltrow, Blythe Danner, Kate Bosworth, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Tom Brady, even Gisele Bundchen. You’ll probably get the same answer: awesome.

We hit up the Garden for our first encounter with Chris Martin and company. The end stage set in place, a black veil was hanging in front of the stage while “Life in Technicolor” started playing. Swiftly moving to “Violet Hill”, the...
