By Brandon “B-Mac” McCarthy, Photos by Matt “Rabit” Martinez As long as I have been a fan of rock ‘n’ roll, my favorite frontman has been Sammy Hagar. Better known as the Red Rocker, Hagar blew people’s minds with his high energy, incredible stage presence, and his tenor voice that…
It goes without saying that Korn will go down as one of the best rock bands in history. Having started listening to them when I was just a young lad, they sure helped mold my music influence over the years. I got the opportunity almost exactly a year ago to…
I can vividly remember the first time I ever heard Gogol Bordello. If memory serves me, they opened for System of a Down on May 24th, 2011 at The Forum in LA and that opening set was my first taste of the 'Gypsy Punk' genre (and most certainly was not…
It was another rainy day in Dallas, Texas but that didn’t stop the show from going on. Miss May I was not only one of the first metal bands I heard but one that helped paved the way for my post hard core journey and part of what got me…
What’s there not to get excited about when The Goo Goo Dolls and Blue October come through your city. I’ve been listening to both these bands for longer than I can remember. From when my mom would put them on in the car on the way to school and in…
It’s been a minute since before the world shut down that I was able to catch Dashboard Confessional in Dallas. But this time he was co headlining with the man himself, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness and the kings in Cartel. It was sure to be a dope night filled…

I went to Reggae Rise Up Music Festival in Baltimore, MD a couple of weeks ago and the day before the festival The Harbor Boys played at Tin Roof bar and music venue to start off the long weekend of music. They wanted to get their name out there so…
Loving, the indie alt rock group, has been a familiar favorite of mine for years now. Their unique rock n’ roll mixed with melancholy style was a delight to listen to live. As is usually the case, arriving early comes with its perks. Upon arrival I was allowed to watch…
When I was a kid, the first wave of pop punk was taking over the airwaves of MTV with the likes of Blink 182, Green Day, and Sum 41. I was hooked instantly! I had even convinced my mom to buy me Blink 182’s Enema of the State album, regardless…
Article written by Brandon “B-Mac” McCarthy; Photos by Matt “Rabit” Martinez It has been over 3 years since my last visit to Avatar Country. When the pandemic shut the whole world down, access into one of my favorite places to worship heavy metal was locked up as well. In case…
It was complete Palladimodium when the triple-bill of Hatebreed, Black Label Society, and Anthrax stormed The Hollywood Palladium on July 29. Forgive the pun, but the sold out Friday night show was everything any metal lover could have wanted. And more. The festivities started right around 7pm when Hatebreed took…
