Live Review: Fitz & the Tantrums, Walk the Moon at Center Stage, October 29

By Justin Lyons Walk the Moon and Fitz & the Tantrums are two bands that you wouldn’t necessarily picture touring together.  However, the two rising acts do have one thing in common: making people move. Cincinnati-based opener Walk the Moon’s youthful energy was not lost on the diverse crowd of 20-somethings and middle-aged folk.  From […]

CD Review: Megadeth — Th1rt3en

Megadeth Th1rt3en Roadrunner By Ellen Eldridge Things are falling perfectly into place for Megadeth. The release of the 13th studio album, aptly titled Th1rt3en, falls on the eerie date of 11-01-11, the day after Halloween.

CD Review: Girl in a Coma — Exits & All the Rest; Playing Masquerade, November 7

Girl in a Coma Exits & All the Rest Blackheart Records By Al Kaufman If ever a band name has been a misnomer, than it is for Girl in a Coma. Yes, this trio from San Antonio grew up as Smiths fans (hence the band name), but their music is very much alive.
