All of you nerds already know of Freezepop, I’m sure. With songs appearing in a few popular video games and having played PAX a few times, Freezepop has been in nerd culture enough already. Of course, it is a specific branch of nerd culture and I’ll explain a bit for those of you in other […]
What happens if you cross Rammstein and the Beastie Boys? I have no idea, but Die Fantastischen Vier (or Fanta 4 for short) are one of the first German Hip-Hop groups to actually rap in German. If you can enjoy music in a different language AND you like hip-hop then you might actually like Fanta […]
I’ve been holding off on writing this article for awhile now. I discovered William Elliott Whitmore around the same time as O’Death – They both did 7″ splits with Murder by Death. The reason I waited was because I wasn’t sure at first if I liked Whitmore or not. After spending a week listening to […]
Again with the old CDs I found, another band the turned up was Type O Negative. Unlike most bands I listen to, I remember how I discovered Type O. It was 1997 and I was a wee lad of thirteen. I bought a video game, Blood and on the CD there was a music video. […]

NIN is also a good comparison for sound, though Pain has a bit heavier metal sound. Pain is somewhere between […]
A few weeks back I decided I wouldn’t just blog about music I like, I’d blog about any music I come across. While that time it was clearly for an inside joke, this time I’m serious. I don’t really like O’Death but I’ve listened to a half-dozen tracks and figured someone else might like it. […]
Call it an oversight on my part that I’ve yet to mention the Sea Dogges here. For those of you who listen to RPG podcasts you might already be familiar with Springfrield’s own Capt’n Black’s Sea Dogges. Former podcasters, Chuck and Lonnie, of the Dragon’s Landing Inn are members and it was that connection that […]
I love rock opera. I love post-apocolyptic future settings. I love torn characters, tragic romance, deception, isolation,murder… ohhhh murder. I love gothic and punk fashions, cult films, and Paris Hilton… Ok, maybe not that last one. Repo! The Genetic Opera is not for everyone. Hell, its not even for the majority of people. Still, there […]
Have you ever wondered what Flogging Molly would sound like if Dave King was Romani instead of Irish? Neither had I, but since being introduced to Gogol Bordello I know. I had never heard the term Gypsy Punk but I guess if you can have Irish Punk then why the heck not? Below you’ll find […]
