News: Front Porch Step Addresses Child Molestation Accusations, Sorta

Posted by admin on Apr 3, 2015 in News | 0 comments

Singer/song writer/pedophile Front Porch Step wrote a lengthy diatribe addressing recent allegations that he sexually assaulted and molested several underage women. Highlights include claiming that it is as much the fault of the girls he was texting, how excited he was that women – while it is not necessarily my position to take such liberties as a journalist, I will presume he’s speaking about underage ones – were calling him hot and sexy, and so on.

It’s long, it’s poorly thought out, and it is most definitely cringe-worthy. We’ve included a transcript of the post below, but honestly, I can’t even say it’s worth the read.

On Mare Nostrum, film composer and general tuneweaver Ben Lukas Boysen (the sole mind behind Hecq) takes you to Barcelona, Spain to discover the haunting beauty of the world’s 9th largest super computer. Using field recordings of the glass-ensconced monolith – which finds its home inside an old chapel – Hecq creates a four track, 60 minute masterpiece. The glitch work of his past is only amplified by Mare Nostrum’s own organic blips and whirs. His use of space in the sound design makes this a wonderful work of art, as man and machine come together.

News: AnberlinForever.com; the Unauthorized Story of Anberlin

Posted by admin on Apr 1, 2015 in News | 0 comments

For those of you that are still reeling from loss of Anberlin like we are, you can now take solace in AnberlinForever.com, an extensive unauthorized biography dedicated to the 14 year history of the band. This may not be news of a reunion or new music, but what it is is an extremely thorough and well-conceived written history chronicling every step the band has ever taken.

Anberlin seemed like such a mainstay in the music scene for such a long time, their breakup seemed surreal, if not inevitable. But it’s not often when someone preserves the history of a band in such an admirable way. This isn’t merely a Wikipedia page that will fall into disuse over the years, this is the complete story. And that’s a pretty remarkable legacy to leave behind.

If you’re looking to take a trip down memory lane, or continue nursing the wounds that never quite healed when Anberlin broke up, head over to AnberlinForever.com, and follow the band from step one to their last show.

Fresh off a slew of co-headlining dates with Saves The Day celebrating the 10th anniversary of their seminal pop-punk album “…Is A Real Boy,” Say Anything announced today their tour plans for the summer. The “Hebrews” tour will make stops in 31 cities over five weeks, including an early July date at Baltimore Soundstage. While billed as the official tour for the band’s fifth full-length Hebrews, the tour promises a “loud interpretation of Say Anything songs old and new,” and in true over-the-top Max Bemis fashion will feature both guitars and a four-piece string quartet.
