Crystal Stilts Know How To Add Retro Feel to Contemporary Sound

The contrast of the lively driven guitar work of JB Townsend and the pensive vocal delivery of Brad Hargett is a poignant combination.

“Everybody’s Scene: The Story of Connecticut’s Anthrax Club" is a Fond Recollection of a Punk Rock Club

“Everybody’s Scene: The Story of Connecticut’s Anthrax Club,” by Chris Daily (Butter Goose Press, $18): This fall, I was both surprised and proud when I heard that a book about the Anthrax club was being published. My hometown punk/hardcore scene – which happened to coincide with my own formative years - merits a book? Maybe the music and atmosphere were really as great as I remembered them – and my memories weren’t just growing fonder as I grew older.

Sound of the Beast — It's No Complete Guide But it's a Good Read

Will Green Day's Broadway musical of "American Idiot" Be Cheesey?

My knee-jerk reaction to this question was 'yes, yes, YES!' However, I have not seen the musical, yet. But the great people of Berkeley, California seem to love it — as the musical broke attendance records at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Of course, the band is from Berkeley, so, I'm sure that was certainly a factor.
