Native New Zealander Dion Lunadon has been known since moving to America in 2009. His raucous, energetic rock & roll that he’s been making since the early 90s has brought him to release his debut solo self-titled album Dion Lunadon via Agitated Records. The 11 track album combines Lunadon’s primal punk impulses and garage rock sounds with […]
Sometimes, I don’t think I understand what punk rock is. That’s probably for good reason — punk can be anything for anyone. Whether it’s expressing an opinion, dealing with a political issue, or just having fun with friends, punk is a scene designed to be all-inclusive (especially if you’re an outcast).

I’ll be honest: Black Foxxes may have just released my favorite album of the year (so far). It seems like lately, it’s not often that I come across music that resonates so deeply with me, especially since my job is to sift through music daily.

This is the case with Graveyard Lovers, an indie garage band from New York City that just released their latest album, Past the Forest of the […]
By Emma Cohen of Indie Band Guru Fades, a five piece musical group from London, formed in 2014 and started releasing music soon after. The group’s newest, the selftitled EP Fades, consists of six original songs that all share the same edgy underground rock sound they’re becoming known for. Each song on the album bleeds […]
By Lauren Wisbeski of Indie Band Guru Bronco Simmons is a garage-rock band comprised of five young men from Dallas. Based on their latest single, “Away She Goes,” I can tell you right now that they’re going places. Jorge Hinojosa’s vocals are deep and strong, and it’s clear that he has tremendous control over both […]
