Throttlebomb/Bronze Split Record
by Tim Wenger Throttlebomb and Bronze, two of Denver’s rawest hard rock bands, dropped a split album entitled Transmettre A Les Mort at Goosetown Tavern on June 20. 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?
by Rag Rabbit The most impressive thing about the Vans Warped Tour is the way the machine is run. The Warped roadies work their asses off.

Westcoastless Crew falls as the latter- and they rep Colorado pretty hard. Their new record Still Here is a […]
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 […]
