It’s been a while since we heard new music from this California quintet but if this is just a sign of what is to come, then Rooney is definitely going to be putting their name back on the map. The Wild one may be short but provides some great tracks and a sound that may have [...]

It was hit or miss. Motion City Soundtrack’s new album My Dinosaur Life is their first release since signing to the major label Columbia Records. They had announced their follow up to Even If It Kills Me while they were on Warped Tour in 2008. Even If It Kills Me is a tough album to [...]

Here we find ourselves, nearly a decade into the 21st century. A century that’s seen the rise/fall/rise of dozens of bands and artists, a basketball-playing black president, and Pete Wentz’s…stuff.
