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. Although it is definitely a change of pace to go from punk to metal, for Doyle it isn’t really all that big of a challenge, as he is...

Gorgeous Frankenstein: A Gorgeous New Style Of Music
August 26th, 2008 Posted by Jason BaudendistelFight With Tools
August 21st, 2008 Posted by C ZuverYes, we can figure out how to ride a bike with no handlebars.

Gig Review: Herbie Hancock, Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, 8/13/08
August 20th, 2008 Posted by J FrazzettaIf you listened to WKNH from 2003 to 2005 and heard the intro riff of “Chameleon”, then you probably were listening to my show: The Alternative Pollution.

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 FrazzettaYou 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...
