Brooklyn’s own TV On The Radio (or TV On the Rain-dio as I heard someone call it…not funny), played on yesterday despite the initial pouring rain and crazy thunderstorms. The group played lots of older tracks, like “Young Liars,” but also snuck in some new ones like “Blues From Down Here” and “Wolf Like Me.” Of course, they ended with the fan favorite “Staring At The Sun,” which had pretty much everyone in attendance dancing like crazy, despite being soaking wet.

Naked Raygun ( as well as The Bomb), American Steel, Dillinger Four, 108, The Lawrence Arms, Avail, Seaweed, Paint it Black, The Marked Men, J Church, Modern Life Is War, Toys That Kill, Radon, The Draft, and many more amazing bands we couldn’t possibly fit in one post.

Go buy tickets now and find out all the details you need to know on the website!

“How beautiful is that?”

Imagine hearing 200 kids in an overcrowded church basement screaming that back at you in harmony.Some little kid who can’t be older than 13 is stage diving and being carried and among all the faces looking up at you, every single one is sweaty and smiling.Now you sort of have an idea of what it feels like to be the Bronx’s Daly’s Gone Wrong.It’s a sight that I’ve managed to see a bunch of times and let me tell you, it never gets old.

“What the fuck is this?” That’s what I was thinking the first time I saw Antelope play last summer. All of their songs sounded very similar and consisted of two or three chords and the same phrases repeated over and over, which were mostly about demons and ghosts. Now, a year has passed and they are one of my favorite bands. In a year’s time I’ve grown to appreciate what they were doing which is emphasizing minimalism. Yes, the music is very simple and down right repetitious but I find that pretty appealing considering that many popular bands are so loaded with over the top guitars and complicated lyrics.
