Future legend Cassadee Pope is about to have one hell of a homecoming. The former lead singer of pop-punk outfit Hey Monday has been hard at work the past few months as a contestant on NBC’s slap in American Idol’s face, The Voice. On Tuesday, Pope made it past yet…

One of the finest names in Miami music history is Metro Zu. The hip-hop group consists of four talented artists with a distinct sense of style and humor with, again, the best name ever. Poshstronaut, their beat-maker, says they chose this very 305 nostalgic (because RIP Metro Zoo, hello Zoo…
Art Basel just seemed to work out magically this Wednesday night. Parking was shockingly easy to find (thank you, dude-looking ladies who left early. You rule!). Then I ran into a friend at the Bass Museum who was on the list for the A$AP Rocky party at the Delano, but…
If loving Aerosmith is embarrassing, then paint our faces red. We may make fun of Steven Tyler’s gnarly toes till our fingers bleed, but we still adore our Beantown boys. And live, Tyler is a sight to see. He’s, not to be mean, but old, and man that dude still…
South Florida pop radio listeners are in for a special holiday-themed treat, complete with a nice pretty ball of glitter on top. Y-100 is back with another Jingle Ball, the all day concert-palooza featuring some of today’s biggest superstars. To top things off, the gravitational pull around PSY might cause…
Every Art Basel, we spend so much time gawking at completely indecipherable mounds of garbage and analyzing people acting like diseased mimes that it’s hard to turn off the ol’ art goggles, even after we’ve been kicked out of the gallery for lining the pockets of our pantaloons with cubes…
“With this new album, I just wanted to make something that was purely comedic — something that could make people laugh like crazy even in the midst of all this global economic slowdown,” PSY, the “Gangnam Style” Korean YouTube phenomenon, told CNN earlier this year. Learning how to “Gangnam Style”…
“Livetronica” is the worst name for a musical subgenre since “emo” or “rock ‘n’ roll.” This ridiculous term is meant to denote psychedelic jam-band hippie rock that has been augmented with the technorganic delights of the future. That is, synthesizers, computers, and combinations thereof. Lucky for flagship livetronickers Papadosio, their…
As time marches on, fans of the (now) classic rock ‘n’ roll animal have fewer and fewer groups to enjoy in their original, or even mostly original, configurations. The years can be pretty unkind to bands: Members quit, members die, and “the magic” can so easily disappear. Aerosmith has almost…
Canadian pop-punk, passive-aggressive Twitter feuds are a riot, eh? It’s been three years since Avril Lavigne ripped ex-husband Deryck Whibley’s heart out of his chest and filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” after three years of marriage. Lavigne’s now engaged to Chad Kroeger, becoming heir apparent to Nickelback’s mountain of…
Boy George is — ahem — balls deep in a flame war with (um) the state of Mexico. And guess who’s to blame? The internet!The cross-dressing ’80s pop sensation Tweeted that he thought Mexico’s newly elected president was a cutie. Somehow, the Mexican media mistranslated George’s comments to make it appear…
By Dan SweeneyBack in the summer of 2009, I went to Fort Lauderdale’s Culture Room to catch the MySpace Let’s Make a Mess Tour. I was writing a column on the sexiest local band for a now-defunct weekly publication’s Sex Issue, and going with the assumption that a sexy local…
Now 25 years deep in the guts of a career in the genre it helped to forge, Cannibal Corpse is still considered the quintessential death-metal group. The Buffalo, New York-based goremongers have somehow managed to keep the quality of their records consistently high while maintaining the original vision that placed them…
“With this new album, I just wanted to make something that was purely comedic — something that could make people laugh like crazy even in the midst of all this global economic slowdown,” PSY, the “Gangnam Style” Korean YouTube phenomenon, told CNN earlier this year.Learning how to “Gangnam Style” really…
Listen up, Broward and Palm Beach counties! I know what you’re thinking: Who the hell cares about this Art Basel bullcrap?! Well, the answer is: You! Well, you should, at least. See also- Top 15 Art Basel Miami Beach Music Events (Updated)Simon Doonan might be pooing all over the art fair…
A name change typically signifies a deep-rooted personal change. When Prince decided to change his name to a symbol and force everybody to call him “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince,” he did so in protest of tension with his label, Warner Bros. We’re not sure why Ol’ Dirty Bastard…
When revered hardcore bands reboot (as most inevitably do), it is generally an event reserved for festivals, an obvious money grab. At best, it’s an attempt to scrape some nostalgia out of the back of the van for old time’s sake. However, for seminal Minneapolis-based hardcore band Harvest, a recent…
There’s no doubt in our mind that pop-singer and perpetrator of domestic violence Chris Brown is — straight up — addicted to marijuana. But if the past few days worth of e-content have been any indication, he may have a parallel addiction that is just as serious if not even…
True to its name, Revolution Live is a club for the people, by the people. This has been proven time and again. Revolution offers us plebes the best in all kinds of musical performances. They feed us the cake we like to eat. Thus, it’s fitting that they’re hosting the Revie…
Last week, Lee Castro wrote up a list of his picks for the top 10 best Palm Beach County rappers. More than a few people weren’t happy with the results or the rankings. But many of them just didn’t click to the last page of the post. See also- Top 10 Palm…
You know what we like more than Willie Nelson? Nothing, that’s what. Absolutely nothing. Any old, white, country-singing pothead who writes a book and calls it Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves, at the very least, the honor of our highest affection. The Red Headed not-so Stranger…
