Butch Walker and the Black Widows: I Like It Better When You Had No Heart

I really have no business reviewing this album because even if it was just the sound of Mr. Walker making fart noise for 35 minutes, I’d think it was the best record ever devised. As I admitted last week, I am a self professed “super fan” for Butch Walker and all incarnations of his music. I’ve bought albums that he merely produced just because well, damn it, it’s him! This love affair has been going on for nearly a decade now and shows no signs of slowing. My wife gets suspicious every two years when Walker and his band of merry men put out a new album but I reassure her that Butch wouldn’t want me. She then tells me that if he did though, she would understand the journey that follows…

Breachtube: Panic! at Butch Walker's

So you probably have no idea who Butch Walker is. Or maybe you do. I’m not known for my musical tastes here at the Breach, but Mr. Walker happens to be my favorite musician. I’m going on year 10 of being what some might call a “super fan” of the man and I’ve started the countdown to the release of his new album next week.

Check out a video after the jump that details how Butch deals with a rather co-dependent fan!

Anvil! The Story of Anvil

I can’t imagine having the drive that these guys do.  Hell, I fancied myself a filmmaker at one time but I’ll be the first to admit I tried with little to no effort to break into “the scene” and now spend my time writing on this blog.  Watching Anvil struggle over 25 years to be [...]

Travel Breach: Seattle EMP and Science Fiction Museum

On our trip to Seattle last week, we had time to attend the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum in downtown Seattle. It turned into a rather awesome nerd-experience. I took as many pictures as I could and after the jump there is a slideshow of the exhibits.

Kiss: Live in Austin, Texas 2009

I’m well aware it’s no longer fashionable to be a Kiss fan. Hell, for some people it may never have been. So if you read the positive review below and start grating your teeth, keep in mind that I’m not here to convert you into the Kiss Army. Kiss is a fairly [...]

Breachtube: The Swell Season and Jason Segal

If you’re a fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segal and know the music of The Swell Season or the movie Once, this is the musical interlude you’ve been waiting for. Check it out after the break.

Slayer: World Painted Blood

Praise, hail motherfucking Satan, Slayer is back. In what was a relatively short break compared to previous waits, Slayer has followed up 2006’s Christ Illusion with World Painted Blood. The promises for this new album were much the same that they are for every new Slayer release. It was preceded with the usual, “This sounds [...]

Megadeth: Endgame

I have been listening to Megadeth for way too long. There are albums by them that I absolutely love and some that I hate more than myself.  After Metallica’s successful comeback with Death Magnetic, I thought for sure that Dave Mustaine would come out swinging with this new Megadeth record.  Instead he gave me the [...]

Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown Tour

As I waited in line, surrounded by only the most colorful of people, I thought to myself, “There’s no way they could possibly be any better than last time.”  I’d seen Green Day 4 years prior at the same place, the AT&T Center in San Antonio, and that show stood at the top of my [...]

Municipal Waste: Massive Aggressive

Anyone that knows me knows that I love the thrash metal.  I cut my metal teeth on the genre, and I’ll always have a soft spot for it.  In recent years, thrash has seen a pretty major resurgence with bands like Evile, Toxic Holocaust and of course, Municipal Waste.  While I do enjoy it, I’m [...]

Steel Panther: Feel the Steel

Kill those fucking fuck heads,
Who program MTV.
They can suck my ass,
With all the record companIIIIIIESSSS!!!

I don’t usually write stuff about music here at The Breach.  But on this day, I feel compelled.  So for the uninitiated, listen to the following.

As you can tell, Steel Panther is what’s commonly called “cock rock” mixed with a good [...]

The Summer Slaughter Tour 2009

The Summer Slaughter tour is supposed to be the most extreme tour of the summer. It touts itself as a traveling caravan of the ‘best of the best’ amongst the death/extreme metal community.  While it certainly does have the cream of the death metal crop in Suffocation and Necrophagist, it is far from being an [...]

Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown

It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since Green Day released their major label debut, Dookie.  It seems like it was yesterday that Billie Joe Armstrong & crew gave us their tribute to masturbation and boredom.  Who didn’t love that record?  Anyone that claims to not have owned that in 1994 [...]

The Future

Beef Supreme recently took a trip to the future and this editorial details the facts he brought back with him.

Due to the incident at The Outback Steakhouse, we were only able to provide a picture of this white 4 door B210.

Guitar Hero: Metallica

I have to get this out of the way first.  I’ve kind of lost track of how many times Metallica has raised a hand to me.  I’ve been beaten so many times, it’s hard to remember every incident.  And when the smoke clears for a moment, rather than hold them accountable for their actions, I’ll [...]
