Dangerous Summer Update

By Leave a Comment

The Dangerous Summer have posted an update on their status. Check out the message below.

Hey everyone,

I am writing this to clear up any confusion that you might have about the band. We are not “getting back together” or “reuniting”, technically we never really broke up… just kind of went on a break. AJ and Tyler both are going back to school this semester, Etay has been hard at work on his solo project People In Cars and is finishing his album now, so please don’t start assuming were going to be doing a full length or a big tour soon. Right now we are just taking things slow and living our lives. We have some show offers that we might take up, so keep checking back!

Jimmy Eat World And Paramore Tour

By Leave a Comment

Jimmy Eat World and Paramore are set to start a co-headlining tour in March. Dates and support acts will be announced soon. You can read a message from the bands below.

Said Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins, “We’re very excited for the upcoming tour with Paramore. We got to know them last December while playing festivals together. They put on a great show and we think it’s going to be an awesome bill.” Adds Hayley Williams (Paramore), “If it all ends tomorrow, we will be happy knowing that we got a tour with the band that gave us a reason to play music.”

If this combo for a tour doesn’t spark a conversation then something must be wrong.

The Boy And His Machine – All That We Make It

By 3 Comments

The Boy And His Machine

Artist: The Boy And His Machine
Album: All That We Make It
Label: Unsigned
Listen: MySpace
Release Date: December 7, 2007

Overall: 7.0
Music: 7.5
Lyrics: 7.0
Production: 7.0

Some people may have written off pop-punk over the past few years but for others its still rocking their stereos. The Boy And His Machine’s new EP All That We Make It should be on of those CD’s in your current playlist. Ron Griffo (Vocals, Guitar), Joey Arena (Guitar), Christan Adams (Bass), and Ryan Martin (Drums) bring their edgy rock to the table in tracks like “Thinking Of An Escape” and “Worth The Wait” while cranking up the melody on “The Plan” and the title track “All That We Make It.” Ron’s vocals are compelling and compliment each song’s harmony. My favorite track is “Worth The Wait” as it showcases the bands full style and what they have to offer to their fans.

With a full-length album in the works, there are only good things to look forward to when it comes to The Boy And His Machine.

Track Listing
1. All That We Make It
2. The Plan
3. Thinking of An Escape
4. Worth The Wait
