- Photos: The Bravery at Best Music Poll 2009
The Bravery headlined the Boston Phoenix and WFNX's annual Best Music Poll Concert on August 1, 2009 on Boston's City Hall Plaza. Not pictured: WFNX DJ Paul Driscoll sitting in drums for a surprise Journey cover.
- 78. Chris Martin
We can’t imagine anything lamer than being a colorless vegetarian musician who pokes a frigid aristocratic phony like Gwyneth Paltrow. Wait — yes we can — the life of anyone who listens to Coldplay’s soulless pedestrian garbage rock.
- The Big Hurt: Crashing Pumpkins
I recently had the "was that real, or did I dream that?" feeling about the upcoming Spider-Man musical featuring songs by U2, and I happily concluded that it was a dream.
- Kaiser Chiefs | Off With Their Heads
If you were hoping that Kaiser Chiefs’ hiring Mark Ronson to produce their third studio disc would result in a vintage-soul overhaul of their jittery new-wave sound, prepare to be let down.
- Epics in minutes
Rupert Clervaux has made a game out of reading how people dissect his band's sound. As a multi-instrumentalist in the London collective Sian Alice Group (who come to the Middle East on Monday), he hears the whole spectrum of genres.
- What can Brown do for you?
Our local alt-country renaissance continues this weekend with Gunther Brown's debut release, a five-song, 20-minute EP called Eustis Ridge.
- Photos: Miracle just off of Tremont Street
WFNX's Miracle on Tremont Street, with Franz Ferdinand, Dearly Beloved, Airborne Toxic Event, Vampire Weekend, and Black Kids at the Orpheum Theatre, December 6 and 7, 2008
- Dropping by with an old friend
Even before there were festivals like All Tomorrow’s Parties to formalize the concept, Sonic Youth have always given off a curatorial air.
- The Big Hurt: Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks
What a lovely concept is mainstream rock : all that subversive stuff was fun for a while, but isn't rock much lovelier now that it's straightened up and joined the hegemony?
- The Big Hurt: Bieber fever
Of the 45 headlines on mtv.com’s music-news section, nine are about JUSTIN BIEBER . That’s precisely 20 percent.
- 12. Robert Smith
The bloated goth frontman is well on his way to becoming the Leslie West of alternative rock. Most of the Cure’s ’80s contemporaries have updated their stage looks to reflect the inevitable processes that time, gravity, and tight-pantsed young hipsters eventually impose on us all. Not Smith: he’s still smearing on the makeup like Bette Davis after her fifth cocktail, and the mangy hair that used to look batty, cool, and aloof now makes him a dead-ringer for Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice . In the name of Pitchfork, please make it stop.
