The first five tracks are definitively Throttlebomb, as full of breaks and as headbang-able as 80’s metal but with the energy and tempo of nineties punk rock. […]

The Warped Generation: What Happened?

Dirty Few- Party or Don’t

Westcoastless Crew- Still Here

by Tim Wenger Denver is home to a burgeoning reggae-rock scene, and we have the full gamut of the genre- from the more mellow reggae style, to the heavier, more punk and hip hop influenced groups.

Three Musical Genres Modern Music Can Do Without

by Tim Wenger Ask any girl that I’ve ever dated, and she will confirm one statement: people (me, in this case) that grew up listening to punk rock (the ‘90s wave, in my case), will continue to do so, and carry on in their firm belief that everything else sucks in comparison–at least until they […]
