This week’s list of recommended shows is metal heavy, ranging from the melodic metal styling of Amanda Lepre, to the face-melting thrash of Iron Age and the rock infused Dixie Witch and Superheavygoatass. We also have some great touring roadshows coming through this week in Wilco and ZZ Top.
My pick of the week goes […]

The Human Zoo is every bit as cerebral as you’d […]
Mainstream hip hop has long been focused on the latest beef between rappers; often using violent and misogynistic lyrics. Indie hip hop has taken a progressive turn, often focusing on socially conscious issues or using comedic style to convey a message.
MC trio DAM and rapper Devin the Dude showcase each side of the progressive rap […]

There’s a little something for everyone in my recommendations this week.
