In the 90’s, rock music took a turn from hair metal to grunge, but there were some who took a different path. The Smashing Pumpkins were a band of 4 misfits who wanted to take the psychedelic and progressive music they grew up on and give it a modern sound. When everyone said there was […]
After the untimely end of Joy Division, the rest of the band was left to decide where to go from there. They would soon go back to work experimenting with new sounds and creating some of the most iconic songs of the 80’s that would bring together the worlds of rock and pop. It’s not […]
We’re wrapping up our Beatlestravaganza with the later years of Mr. John Lennon. We really rip open the onion that is this complicated human and discuss how to truly separate the artist from the art.

Known as the “silent Beatle”, George Harrison was the youngest member of the band, but that didn’t mean he had a lack of any talent. The true dark horse of The Beatles, some of their biggest hits would be penned by this man. But for now we’re going to tell you about baby George, how […]
We’re taking the next several weeks to look at each Beatle as an individual, and we’re starting with someone who raises different controversy than the other three.

This week we want to shine a light on one a band whose true talents get overlooked. The B-52’s may seem like just your standard party band, but they are so much more than that.
