Pulling up to the Eagle Hall for the Citizen/You Blew It/Hostage Calm/Praise/Off Trends show, I was met with parked cars spilling into the church across the street. ...

My name is Felipe. I'm 21 years old and a Journalism major at the College of Southern Nevada. Music, friends, and a good time is pretty much all I need.
The “Buzzworthy” page on MTV.com is filled with all the names you would expect. On my last look, they were talking about Miley, Rihanna, and O-Town (?!?!), so you can imagine my surprise when I saw an article about Florida's You Blew It! on there. ...

When bands whose sound is as intricate and versatile as The Speed of Sound in Seawater come to your town, it’s a must-see. YouTube videos definitely don’t do the actual live show justice. ...

The Halloween spirit was in full effect at The Eagle Hall on Oct. 30, as evidenced by free candy at the door, the fact that these photos were taken by a girl in a banana suit (Thanks, Hunter!), and by all three bands I saw being scary good. ...

The Lost Boys Tour made a stop in Henderson last week and Stickup Kid got things started early with an uptempo set that really showcased how much they've grown as a band over the past couple of years. Hot off a tour of Japan, they played highlights from their latest record Future Fire, “The Depths of Me” and “Lost,” but their best song of the night (and a personal favorite of mine), was “Lighthouse.” I’m a big fan of Stickup Kid, and I can’t think of a better way to have started out the night. ...

After teasing everyone with a Split EP with Pianos Become the Teeth back in January, Touché Amoré has finally treated us to their newest full-length, Is Survived By. Relentless touring, a distinctive yell, their incredible lyrics and menacing musicianship has taken this band to the forefront of punk/hardcore and this record shows why. ...
