After issuing his first album in 1973, Bruce Springsteen spent more than a decade building a deserved reputation as the best live act in rock and roll. During that time, however, his discography consisted solely of studio albums. If you weren’t lucky enough to have seen him in concert, all you knew of his stage presence were the rave reviews from those who’d managed to score tickets.
That…

One of the biggest female popstars in current times, Olivia Rodrigo’s highly anticipated third studio album displays some of the best vocals and lyricism of her career thus far.

Willie Nelson Is Still Going Strong!
It’s remarkable that Willie Nelson is still making records nearly three decades after the age when the average American retires. But it’s even more remarkable that those LPs contain some of the best work of his long career. Dream Chaser, which arrived shortly after Nelson’s 93rd birthday, is his 79th solo studio album and the latest evidence that…

A truly stacked bill recently came to New Jersey. The Warning and Yungblud performed at the Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City. Both bands have increasingly been becoming the faces of modern alternative music. They take chances and really push the boundaries of what rock music in 2026 sounds like.

Trying to explain Dance Gavin Dance to the uninitiated can be difficult. It’s metal, it’s funk, it’s mathrock, it’s hardcore, it’s post-hardcore, it’s emo, it’s everything. The band is so eclectic that fans have dubed them Swan-core after their lead guitarist Will Swan. They had to create a new word for this band’s genre because of how original they are. That inherant uniquness is the band’s…

The Lovin’ Spoonful, whose origins the Mamas and the Papas chronicle in their hit “Creeque Alley,” ranks among the most notable products of New York’s Greenwich Village folk explosion. Combining elements of that genre with blues, pop, rock and roll, and jug band music, the group scored seven consecutive Top 10 hits—five in 1966 alone—including some of the most lovable singles of the late 1960s.…

We started out 2026 right, with a new Alter Bridge album. _Self-titled_ was released on January ninth. It set the bar for the rest of the year.

Once the they announced a tour we needed to experience what they had in…
It appears that a new album for Greta Van Fleet is upon. To say we’re excited is an understatement.
