Death From Above 1979 has always been surrounded by mystery for me. It’s so hard to believe it’s only two guys - especially since their long hiatus resulted in me never getting to see them play live. ...

Earlier this month, the House of Blues played host to one of the year’s heaviest and best tours - The Ghost Inside and Every Time I Die with Architects, Hundredth and Backtrack.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see them again, after being disappointed with their song selection at the last show I attended, but as if by magic, or as if they read my last review, this show couldn't have pleased me more. ...

You know there's something special about your band when your intro music - in this case American Civil War anthem "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" - can cause a 6 foot tall 30-something in a banana suit to start hard core dancing, inciting a pit that doesn’t let up over an hour+ set. ...
