Nobodys Hero frontman and Against All Authority founding member, Joe Koontz is punk rock. If you spend any time driving between Coral Way and South Miami you’ll see Koontz on his skateboard, wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and headphones affixed deeply into his ears. Whether he’s tearing up Sub-Humans, Judge or…
Punk god-fathers NOFX, led by infamously outspoken and shamelessly open singer/bassist Fat Mike, attack Fort Lauderdale this Friday. As we came to understand in this week’s print feature, Mike and NOFX don’t give a fuck about what anyone thinks of them and that they love being NOFX. NOFX’s live shows…
For most, being a punk rocker is a phase you grow out of. But for San Francisco punk-rock giants NOFX, it’s a blueprint for living and growing up. When punk was exploding all over the mainstream’s chest in the mid-’90s, NOFX passed up the move to a major, stuck with…
In 2001, the Strokes were going to save rock ‘n’ roll. In 2011, let’s hope they can save Coachella with some new material. Blame the Strokes for indie dance clubs, the way people dress at indie dance clubs, and the nightlife photographer, but the debut album, Is This It, is…
Rapper Gucci Mane loves ice cream so much he got three bluish scoops in a lightning-emitting cone tattooed on his face. The sweet, edible ink is courtesy of Shane Willoughby. We think other stars are gonna follow suit. Everyone loves food, tattoos are super badass, and what’s the most super…
Kid Sister’s Kiss Kiss Kiss mixtape just dropped, and it drops hard. As Kid Sister whispers sweet nothings into our ear over a sample of Digital Underground’s “Kiss You Back” on the intro of the mixtape, it’s clear that the next 30 minutes are going to be a fun ride…
On Friday, we gave some suggestions for five local bands we’d like to see reunite in 2011; we also want to see some national bands from the rest of America get back together. If last year’s Pavement reunion taught us anything, it’s that people will travel for thousands of miles…
When the Pixies got back together in 2004, we didn’t care if it was about the money. For many of us, the band we grew up listening to had broken up before we were old enough to even ask our parents for a ride to see them play. Yeah, they…
Artopia is guaranteed to be an explosive mix of art, music, food, drinks, and interesting people. Il Bacio in the heart of Delray Beach’s coolest drag, Atlantic Avenue, is a perfect fit for the event. This elaborate restaurant/bar knows how to party and how to make a spectacle. For a…
Known for her soulful voice and her prolific body of work, American R&B icon Teena Marie passed away yesterday. As a white singer in a predominantly black genre, she paved the way for many of today’s stars: Pink, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, and Faith Evans. Rick James produced her…
It’s Christmas Day, and our brains have been flooded with beautiful songs that bring a smile to our faces and confusion to our brain zones. We all sing along joyfully, because we know that the best way to spread holiday cheer is to sing loudly. But really, what the hell…
Anyone who drove on US-1 near Ponce De Leon Blvd. in Coral Gables two years ago is familiar with Pepito. This young dashing canine was the face of Laser Eye Center Of Miami. He did it all, he wanted Lasik, he got Lasik, he rode jet skis, went to outer…

Last night, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced its 2011 nominees. The main lesson we learned from the self-back-patting ceremony is: Someone is really out of touch; it may be us, but most likely it’s the Grammys. We were happy see artists like Arcade Fire, Black Keys,…
Kid Rock has established his place in American rock music pretty firmly. Since his 1999 multiplatinum album Devil Without a Cause, he’s been dropping hit after hit. He does so well because he gives people exactly what they want. You kind of like rap, but you like rock more? Kid’s…
In the mid-’90s, just after Kurt Cobain’s death and when bands like Green Day and the Offspring saturated the radio, punk-rock fans saw a lot of their heroes defect to the dark side. Punk is more than just a style of music; it’s about having the freedom to say and…
Among ’90s boy bands, Hanson held the unique distinction of being actual songwriters and musicians. They also held the unique distinction of confusing young men. As they rose to fame in 1997, a common comment was “the girl is pretty cute, if only she was a little older.” The “girl”…

Deerfield’s alt.reggae band the Resolvers is playing Propaganda in Lake Worth tonight. (For a taste of what this is like, check out a recent review of its opening slot for the Wailers.) The alt.reggae genre is something the Resolvers put on themselves and has a connotation that brings Sublime to…
