Cease the Day Newark, DE www.ceasetheday.com “Hardcore music with [a] hip-hop influence” – that’s how Matt, drummer for Newark DE’s Cease the Day, describes their music. I’ve never particularly cared for hardcore, and I’m about as far from a hip-hop fan as you can get. Yet, there’s something irresistible about Cease the Day’s sound. This is real foot-tapping, trance-inducing, knock-your-ass-out,…

Capitol Risk Philadelphia, PA Back in 2001, Max, BQ, and Vince all joined together and formed Capitol Risk, a high energy, pulsating band. They were all a bunch of kids with a goal, to go out there, give it their best, and have a lot of fun doing so. Vince was the lead singer and the bassist up until 2004,…

Baxter House Los Angeles, CA www.Baxter-House.com Usually, after living with the same roommate(s) for an extended period of time, you tend to learn to hate and revile them. At least this has been my experience. Music – or any other solitarily cathartic exercise – such as drinking yourself into a constant vertiginous state of insobriety, is necessary to ease the…

I stumbled across Any Old Joe for the…
