Pianos Become the Teeth reinvigorate a dying genre
byJason Gardne
“ Screamo music, as the term was originally intended, was seen by many as an outlet for emotions through often times abrasive musical arrangements and heart-wrenching lyricism. "

Small Town Collectors Score Big
Bucks County ‘s Siren Records brings in the vinyl for Record Store Day
By Michael Mercadante
It's chilly and gray just before 10 a.m., yet roughly 40 people are lined up outside of Siren Records. This is not your typical record-shopping crowd. On their faces are distinct looks of anticipation and in their hands and pockets are lists of rare gems. It's Record Store Day, a national celebration of vinyl and independent record stores, and Siren Records is the epitome of such a store.

Long Live Pere Ubu!
by Ryan Simmons
“ Rock and Roll band "Pere Ubu" is performing a "spectacle" of their own design, not quite theater and not quite a concert. It's based on a hundred-year old french play (the same one that gave the band their name), that most have never heard of, and which is most famous for starting a riot when it was first performed."

A Wilhelm Scream
By Jason Gardner
“It’s kind of funny how some things come full circle. Take A Wilhelm Scream for example. Back in the formative years of the band, the earliest recordings were done in a small studio built by the father of AWS guitarist Trevor Reilly located in the house Reilly grew up in. Three full-lengths later and an expired contract with Nitro Records, Reilly says the band decided it was time for an EP and a return to their roots. They decided to take a crack at recording on their own."

Freedom and Memes
by Ryan Simons
Above all, it's iconic: bright glowing colors, sweeping lines. The face of Aung San Suu Kyi stares warmly out at you in the latest image by urban artist Shepard Fairey. It's possessed of the same inspiring character and visual catchiness as much of the artist’s work, including the Obama poster, which still can be seen on t-shirts and walls more than a year after the election. Also like its predecessor, Fairey hopes this image will live not just on the paper it was printed on, but also in the hearts and minds of the audience he hopes to inspire with it. " ~Read more |

For Brian Fallon, making a career out of music seems more and more like a reality each day—so much that it hasn’t quite occurred to him that he might have already “made it.”
