INTERVIEW - SERJ TANKIAN
Posted by Bomber on Sunday, October 17 @ 18:55:02 CDT (1443 reads)
“Imperfect Harmonies” is almost an entire world away from albums like “Toxicity” that made Serj Tankien a well-respected name in the music community. It seems that the System Of A Down days are a fair way behind him, but Serj has no intention of slowing down. On this second album he takes a fair more classical approach to song writing while still maintaining his strong and powerful stance with his lyrics. Deborah Konopnicki had a chat to Serj about his new release and his rather unique views on music. Read More to check it out.

INTERVIEW - ENTER SHIKARI
Posted by Bomber on Friday, September 17 @ 13:59:11 CDT (1970 reads)
As lead singer Rou says on their new live album, Enter Shikari have been abusing music’s worthless boundaries since 2003. The boys from St.Albans in the UK play a very unique style of music, fusing elements of hardcore, metal, dub step, drum ‘n bass and anything else that can help make the experience exciting for the listener. After visiting Australia twice previously as part of the Big Day Out and Soundwave festivals, Enter Shikari are finally coming back to play a headlining tour around the country.
