If you don’t know Travis Newbill, you should. Tall, rangy, towheaded, with thick, Coke-bottle glasses, Travis makes a visual impression as soon as you meet him. And unless you have met this writer, musician, Buddhist, it’s hard to explain the soothing energy he gives off. A citizen of the world,…

OK, let’s start out by saying the S.S. Coachella’s lineup is straight-up solid as fuck. We’d pay good money to see any of these artists do a solo show around South Florida. But as music editor Liz Tracy prepares to board the music cruise, we’ve thought about the five acts…
Daniel Elijah Novem, frontman of {in-boxes} and new Mask Era guitarist, is a hard act to follow. We interviewed him over a year ago, back when he was Daniel Elias Fernandez, and referred to his band, {in-boxes}, as more of “a multimedia collective than just a band,” a conceptual project that…

This state, this year, has produced a plethora of bizarre and horrifying tales that’ll keep anyone with common sense…
It’s pretty common for fans of the Misfits to shit on anything the band did following the departure of Glenn Danzig.

Oh boy! Another year almost down the drain, and here we find ourselves running out of shopping time for another holiday season.

I really hate battles of the bands. I mean, besides the fact that my bands never won, it’s just a reminder that we’re all doing this shit for selfish reasons, despite what anyone says. Yet for some reason I always ended up competing. I just wish my final performance wasn’t…
