Richard Thompson — or, more properly, Richard Thompson, Esq., OBE — is arguably the finest white guitarist of his generation. He is also, sometimes, our greatest living songwriter. The former…

“Sometimes discouraged but not defeated; Cast down but not destroyed; There are times when I don’t understand; But I believe it’s turning around for me.” Every once in a while I like to take the time to reflect about how I feel when I overcome some of my struggles. This time is no different. If you didn’t know I have an entrepreneurial spirit as do the partners I’ve aligned myself with. Sometimes we don’t always do the best things we […]

Make no mistake, Jesse Leach is back. “In Due Time”, the first single off of one of the most anticipated metal releases of 2013, sees Killswitch Engage re-engage with their original singer without skipping a beat. It’s fast and it’s heavy and it’s everything you’d expect and more from the reinvigorated KSE line-up.

Um, so I really like this. If you didn’t know it already, Fall Out Boy are back! They have a new album due in May, a full blown tour ready to roll, and a whole new sound.
