Matisyahu and Les Claypool to Play Pompano Beach Amphitheatre on May 30

The best Hasidic Jewish reggae artist is teaming up with quite possibly the best bass player of the last 20 years to give Pompano Beach a unique night of music. Matisyahu, aka Matthew Miller, could easily be written off as a novelty before you hear his music.  Reggae has always had deep spiritu ... More >>

Dancing in the Bazaar

Golem's not a creature — it's a six-piece band waltzing in from New York.

311 Is Underrated!

Our writer loves the band's psychedelic rock/reggae fusion, and he's not afraid to say so.

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Cage the Elephant

With a loud and raucous sound zigzagging over the lines of alt rock, rock n' roll and punk like a driver 14 shots of Jack deep, Cage the Elephant have been rattling the bars of that pen plenty. The quintet out of Kentucky blurs the lines of what their sound is. Guitars shift from dusty, twangy, jang ... More >>

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Manchester Orchestra

Borrowing an opening bit from Coffee Talk with Linda Richman, Manchester Orchestra is neither from Manchester, nor a real orchestra. Okay, talk amongst yourselves. They're actually a five-piece rock band from Atlanta, who just released their second album. And they kick serious ass. Their debut, I'm ... More >>

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: The Used

Emo, screamo, post-punk, pop punk, alt-rock, post-hardcore, call it whatever the hell you want--attempting to keep track of the subgenrefication of moody rock bands in eyeliner is practically impossible. But we can all still agree on good music versus bad music, and The Used most definitely falls un ... More >>

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Panic at the Disco

via Flickr user NRK P3​Panic At the Disco is a very different band from Panic! At the Disco. Back when they had the extra punctuation, they also sported a more dark(ish), electronic, and  keyboard laden sound. Once they dropped the !, they also decided to start sounding much more like the Jon ... More >>

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Matisyahu

via Flickr user Chrontourage​Seeing a Hasidic Jewish man on stage free styling and beat boxing between his hardcore reggae songs might seem off-putting at first but it shouldn't. All that's happening lyrically is reggae's traditional Rastafarian religious views being replaced by Jewish teachings, ... More >>

What to Hear in Broward Palm Beach This Weekend

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: :30 Seconds to Mars

It's been said that if venues used the fact Hollywood dream-boat Jared Leto heads this band, he'll flat out refuse to play the show. I guess we're safe since we're clearly not the venue pro ...

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Metric

via Flickr user Jalapeno​The first couple times I heard Metric, I couldn't stand the singer's voice. Bands with female lead singers who have airy, over processed voices are becoming grating to me, a guy who grew up using Riot Grrl bands as my measuring stick for female vocal performances. Then I h ... More >>

Buzz Bake Sale Preview: Our Lady Peace

via Flickr user Zanastardust​Our Lady Peace is probably the most underrated band playing the Buzz Bake Sale tomorrow. Yeah, they've sold over five million albums, enjoyed relative success in the late '90s, and are revered in their homeland (notch another one for Canada). But aside from their flash ... More >>

​With similar holy praise and spiritual righteousness, Matisyahu scratches the Haile Selassie out of reggae music and gives it up to G-d.
