It’s easy to look at Collie Buddz (or even just hear his name) and dismiss him as a joke or at least a novelty. He’s a white guy singing reggae, and he’s using the last name of Buddz rather than his given Harper. People who dismiss him out of hand,…
It’s no secret Crossfade thinks Stonefox is the bee’s knees. If you want to find out exactly why, you can go through the archive and read the blogs we’ve written about them, or you could wait for the upcoming feature, or better yet, you can just clear your calendar on…

You might want to go ahead and grab your credit card now because this deal won’t last long. A while back, we announced the July 15 show featuring Gavin DeGraw and Collective Soul at Revolution Live. Now there’s even better news for those of you who haven’t picked up tickets…

Poison the Well, the best metal/hardcore band of 2009 (as voted by Miami New Times) is playing a hometown-ish gig on August 22 at Culture Room. This date should be extra special, not only because of the whole homecoming after a brutal tour thing, but it’s also the last show…
Bored? Money burning a hole in your pocket? Or do you just have a burning urge to see a fading pop icon try to bring the magic back to her act without resorting to public displays of indecency? If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, then there…
When you think downtown Hollywood, you almost certainly think Dub. Okay, maybe not, but Arts Park has a serious music festival on the books now. On September 5, Dubfest is coming to town featuring Bunny Wailer’s only U.S. appearance (the last surviving member of the original Wailers), Lee “Scratch” Perry,…

Has the Culture Room gone a little soft for your tastes this week? Plain White T’s, Boys Like Girls, and Drop Dead, Gorgeous are all on this week’s bill, but not to worry, true metal fans. Saturday is a new day, and Culture Room is opening the doors for a…
Rob Thomas, formerly of Tabitha’s Secret and currently of Matchbox 20, is touring solo in support of the soon to be released “SwanCradlesong”. He’s had about 30 huge radio hits, and like it or not he’s probably one of the preeminent faces of contemporary singer/songwriters. Other than that, it’s hard…

Their website claims they’re the original British Invasion band, just above a scrolling banner begging visitors to “Call your local Oldies station and request a Herman’s Hermits song TODAY!!!” It’s alternately sad and cute, especially after doing a little research and finding out they actually rivaled The Beatles for a…
The redcoats are coming! British alterna-rockers Psychedelic Furs and Happy Mondays are hitting up Revolution Live on September 29. The Furs, who’ve had a slew of hit songs like Love my Way, Heartbreak Beat, and Pretty In Pink, have (not so) recently reunited and hit the road hoping to inspire…

With all the garbage pop punk polluting the airwaves these days, sometimes it’s hard to recall a time where pop punk was good, much less relevant. If the only punk you know is played on MTV3 or VH1, it’s high time you head out to Respectable Street and catch this…

The formation of the band is typical: they met in college, started playing together, recorded an album, co-vocalist leaves…

Hall’s music stands out from many of his fellow folk singer/songwriters for a…
