“‘Pink Pony Club’ is about embracing exile from a boring, shitty world and remaking yourself into whatever you want—be who you are, be who you aren’t, piss people off, we don’t care!” The Berzerker Blöthar Richmond legends GWAR are back on The A.V. Club’s A.V....
People tend to think punk rockers are real nihilistic types -- people who smash bottles, knock over trash cans, and generally walk around not giving a damn about anything. If you're actually part of the punk world, though, you know that punk is actually about wanting to change the world we all live in for the better, in as many ways as possible....

Natalie Tyer, AKA Nath, is a singer songwriter from RVA whose music has a serious "wow" factor. She's been releasing music for nearly a decade, recently following up her self-titled third album, from 2020, with a pair of digital singles: the Legend-Of-Zelda-themed "Let's Save Hyrule Together," released in July; and "Everything I Have," released...
On a cold Tuesday afternoon I found myself sitting around a poker table with the three members of one of my favorite local bands, Palmyra. Although the table was not set for us to play, I was hosting a game later that evening, the image was still rather amusing to me in the moment. We had gathered because, somehow, RVA Magazine had yet to cover...

Coming out of the 90s alternative rock music movement, bands in the third-wave ska movement of the 90s were music’s Captain America: the man out of time. Brass, punk and upstrokes on the guitars caught a unique wave that even the most seasoned of label employees couldn’t say they saw coming. Less Than Jake reached a lot of ears at the same time...
Chatting with singer-songwriters is one of my favorite things to do, so I was very excited to sit down with Jason Farlow. Based right here in RVA, Farlow is a folk-rocker and the founder and leader of The Last Real Circus. Right now, the band is working on their new album, to be released next year. But Farlow's back story is just as interesting,...
We get sent a lot of music videos by local groups here at RVA Mag. And of course, since we are always trying to keep track of what’s happening in the local music scene, we stumble across a whole bunch of videos on our own time. The result is an ever-growing list of tracks that would be cool to post. But too often, we don’t find the time to devote...
