It’s kinda difficult to take seriously a soundtrack that features components entitled “Jedi Prayer” and “LSD in the Water.” Well, British composer Rolfe Kent most likely wouldn’t have kept those crazy headings had he expected anybody to stay truly serious while listening. But be assured that Kent, who counts to…

A joint project by FUNDarte and the Miami Light Project, the Global Cuba Fest returns for its third annual edition this weekend. But where last year it was a multiple-day, stand-alone event with daily concerts that weren’t cheap, organizers have wised up this year. It’s now being mounted in one…

Dimebag Darrell lives!Every last tiny speck of brain matter splatted against the Columbus, Ohio stage he was riffing on when he was killed by a crazed gunman may have already been sold on Ebay, but the legend of Dimebag lives on through recorded documentation of his music.The video above features…
The upcoming national outing headlined by New Found Glory and Dashboard Confessional was going to be a showcase of ’90s Broward and Palm Beach County heroes made good.

Crossfade has been following Miami-based DJ/producer Alejandro Sab for a while now, considering his PL0T parties and international artist bookings have been a veritable cornerstone of our local underground EDM scene for the last couple years. At least once a month since 2007 PL0T has made us privy to some…
Tony Dez, performing at ULMC 2009Do you swoon like a schoolgirl at the mere mention of Wisin y Yandel’s names (even though you’re not one)? Are you anxiously awaiting Aventura’s upcoming Miami show with your Romeo T-shirt already ironed? Can you frequently be seen driving around town with your windows…
Frankly, the many-membered Boston act Big D and the Kids Table were not, at their inception, among the front-runners for survival of ska’s so-called “Third Wave” in the ’90s. The band started a little too late – 1995 – to be seen as truly authentic at the movement’s peak, around…

via Flickr user SmakuPlenty to check out in Broward and Palm Beach this weekend, and no matter who you are, you’ll find something that will scare you. David Allan Coe, for instance, is playing tonight at Culture Room. He’s been known to scare more than a few people in his…
I have a personal pledge not to think about Winter Music Conference until, shit, at least Art Basel Miami Beach, and, ideally New Year’s are both over. Still, if you are absolutely, totally positive you will be attending both days of the Ultra Music Festival in 2010, this early-bird ticket…
photo by Matt MillerConverge, with Jacob Bannon second from rightTo the uninitiated, the Massachusetts quartet Converge can be downright terrifying. And it’s not because they appear clad in face paint or leather and chains — this underground punk-bred foursome would never waste time on costume-like trappings. Rather, part of the…

If Halloween is for treats, then Devil’s Night is for tricks! A little known tradition that originated in 1930s Detroit, Devil’s Night (or “Mischief Night”) involved the Motor City’s youth engaging in pseudo-criminal behavior on the night of October 30 each year — mostly acts of petty vandalism, like egging,…
Punk rock has always been more about the attitude than the music. Unfortunately, that “punk rock attitude” is often portrayed as a hate-everything, outsider-only, anti-social group. While some of those things may be true from time to time, things like this can also really show off what punk rock is…
It’s enough to make metalhead purists wail and gnash their teeth. Half of the producer/DJ duo Mixhell is Iggor Cavalera, who co-founded seminal Brazilian groove-metal act Sepultura when he was just 15 years old. For the next 20 years, he toured the world and sold out stadiums as the band’s…
A cross between the melodic punk of Lawrence Arms and the churning hardcore of Rise Against, AWS combines a high quotient of heft and hooks. Original drummer Nicholas Pasquale Angelini is the beast’s backbone, driving tempo like Jeff Gordon and keying a thick bottom end worthy of J.Lo. Atop them…
