Directed by Luis Prieto, “Pusher” is a re-make of the 1996 original by Nicholas Winding Refn (“Drive”). Starring Richard Coyle (“Prince of Pursia: The Sand of Time”) as Frank, the drug pusher, viewers are swept into the lifestyle of Britain’s top drug fiends in the span of one week, which clocks in at one hour […]

Slingshot Dakota has been keeping fans in the dark with the long-awaited release of their debut album, Dark Hearts. The indie punk duo composed of Carly Comando (keyboard, vox) and Tom Patterson (drums, vox) make Dark Hearts an accurate title, as the music emits a darker energy that will make the happiest person sink into a state of semi-depression […]

Another alt-rock band from Baltimore, Maryland, the foursome that makes up Storm The Beaches shows everyone that they’re not like the rest. They’re not a wannabe All Time Low band or Animal Collective cover band. Storm The Beaches is ready to rock, and their debut full-length, Hemisphere, is pretty solid. The album is lengthy at 15 songs, some of […]
Even though it’s been a few weeks since Hurricane Sandy wiped out the East Coast, the damage in states like New Jersey and New York still remains and victims of the storm need our help! There are so many different ways to provide support such as directly donating to organizations like American Red Cross and volunteering […]
The night before a concert is always so exhilarating, especially when you’ve been waiting months and counting down for this day to come.
