Richmond’s First Friday in October is far more than just an entry in the social calendar; it's an event that encapsulates the very ethos of the city. As the colors of fall unfurl across Virginia’s capital, Broad Street turns into a swirling kaleidoscope of arts,...
William Basinski – A Red Score In Tile (Streamline) The idea of movement in music is sometimes taken as a given. The idea that songs have to build, to wane, to rely on some degree of harmonic or rhythmic shifts in order to propel their development or, at the very least, to render them accessible is an idea so taken for granted that most people...

After releasing a split EP with Kevin Devine last year, Manchester Orchestra is preparing their third studio album to be released May 10, 2011. According to lead singer Andy Hull, Simple Math is a profoundly personal concept album where Hull questions every aspect of his life, from marriage to love, religion to sex. That’s enough to pique my...
My Inner Burning - Eleven Scars (SPV) When I listen to this album, I hear a good record trying to get out. However, over the course of Eleven Scars, it never quite does, and that's why I can't in good conscience recommend this record to anyone. The music is heavy, chugging midtempo metal, and some of the riffs could work on a Lamb Of God album or...
What do we think of when we think of The Morning After Girls? Guitars? Australia? Melodies that seem to extend for miles and miles, disappearing into the horizon, where they are ultimately reclaimed, re-purposed and reborn for the next gorgeous song about falling, human nature and love? Sure--all of those things. But also the Marquis de Sade....
David Allan Coe, with Loose Honey Friday, February 11 at The Hat Factory “Shit. I thought he was already dead,” my friend Travis joked when I told him I was going to see David Allan Coe play the Hat Factory on February 11th. I had to laugh at his honesty. To the uninformed, country shows aren’t much different than any rap, hard rock or metal...
This Saturday at Alleykatz, prepare for an all-day onslaught of Virginia metal bands, beginning at 3 PM and lasting far into the night. This event, known as the Rockin Massacre, mostly features bands whose brand of metal comes from a time when the genre didn't have a lot of subsections. No thrash, no death, no black, no core; it's just metal, of...
