Rimsky and his live bandBesides being a metal head and a member of the semi-slumbering Miami-based rock juggernaut Humbert, Rimsky Pons makes his own sweet music, self described as “power-pop for the working class.” For those of you familiar with Humbert’s body of work, and Mr Pons’s place in it,…
Back in the day when two sweet Sweet brothers linked up with a hot shot guitarist who went by Oz Fox, a revolution in heavy metal was caused to occur. No longer would the genre be forced to walk in sin with Satan worshiping denizens of sleazy back alleys. Stryper…

305 Fest Flyer305Fest is happening this week at the Firefly, maybe some stuff at Goo and maybe one other place which I can’t figure out yet. It seems like it costs 25 bucks for three days of at least 45 bands with a really incredible amount of variety in music…

Somehow Afrobeta doesn’t have a proper record out. Even though the dynamic pop duo slays the crowds, plays international gigs and gets featured on acts like Calle 13’s tracks, they don’t have a proper album. So they did what any self respecting street DJ would do — they put out…
Zac WolfDub Getting Some HelpThe crusty grindy HC 305 Death Squad are hitting the road for the second time in their lives. After a couple of years of toiling in the swampy trenches of South Florida, these guys are getting off to their second tour in less than a year…

Collectively known as Autonomous Bass Heads (ABH), the duo has been rocking parties, big and small, mostly on the south side of town for some time now. Sometimes they throw…
Da Cheef in action.Stay Hitt is one of those Miami bands that is destined to go down as one of the best, catchiest punk ‘n’ roll outfits that Dade County has ever produced. Unfortunately, they are also apparently destined to never actually produce a record or ever leave the state…

These guys wear cool masksThe Hukilau seems to be stepping up it’s game this year with at least one of this writer’s favourite surf instrumental bands, Los Straightjackets. Aside from their musicality and deft picking, the band is also noted for it’s decision to don mascaras de lucha libre whilst…
Live in Gainesville 2007Dino Felipe is one of those Miami guys who has a nice little national rep for himself. People who are in the know about underground currents of off-kilter sounds know what’s up. This is wrong. This shouldn’t be the case. In a just universe he would be…
