Live Review: Kurt Vile and the Violators, Lovvers, Carnivores @ 529, November 3
By Julia Reidy Carnivores are my new favorite local band. After rising from the ashes of the now-defunct Chainestereo, they’ve re-formed with renewed vigor and have plenty to show for it. Tuesday at 529, the group pulled about half the set from its surprisingly awesome debut LP, All Night Dead USA (released locally this July […]

By Leila Regan-Porter I really should have written this weeks ago. But it's been a bit of a tough one to write. It's fair to say that I have been putting it off. Let me begin by saying I don't like reading "personal" reviews with first person references. Unless it's on your own blog, or […]

CD Review: R.E.M. — Live at the Olympia
