I’m going to go ahead and break some bad news to you here: Ozzy should’ve hung it up a long time ago.  I mean, like, after ‘No More Tears’.  Are you one of those brain dead Ozzy fans that refuses to stop clinging to this guy’s completely shattered legacy?  Let me repeat myself: OZZY.  SUCKS. [...]

Before I officially start up this review, I just wanted to take note of all the eye-rolling that must be going on right now.  You probably saw the review pop up on your facebook or twitter feed and you’re like, “Aww man what the fuck?”.  But you clicked on it anyway and now here you [...]

That might be the longest title for an article I’ve ever written. But it’s ultimately justified because two days later, I still can’t get over the fact that I got to see Conan O’Brien perform in person. I know, I know- I had the opportunity to watch him for years in NYC or for six months in LA, but I just don’t get to those parts of the country… well… never really. It’s been something of a dream for about the last decade to see a taping of his show. When The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien was unceremoniously shut down in January, I knew that one day I would have the opportunity to see Coco once he was hired to another show. But then in March when Conan tweeted that he was going on tour and would be coming through Austin, I bought tickets for the wife and I within minutes. This past Friday, it became one of the most justified purchases in my life.

Sick of It All’s last record, 2006’s Death to Tyrants is widely regarded as their best album since their benchmark album, 1994’s Scratch the Surface.  Not to say that everything in between those two was rubbish; they had their moments.   I can’t deny that I’ve shouted along with ‘Call To Arms’, or attempted to keep [...]

The director of this did the other Butch Walker / American Psycho homage video I posted a couple months back.  It’s safe to say that this isn’t your normal music video and I think it’s just weird enough that even if you don’t like his music, you should at least find something to enjoy of [...]

Coheed & Cambria fans fall into several different camps.  The first is the group of those that swear by the band’s first album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, and that anything since has been an overproduced pretentious mess.  Then there are the folks that are hardcore about the first two records, Second Stage and In [...]

Any metal head worth their weight knows of Lemmy.  Hell, I don’t even consider myself a true fan of Motorhead but I know who this guy is.  But I didn’t know anything about him other than he’s considered a God of the rock and roll genre.  That said, I was genuinely excited to watch this [...]

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…

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!

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
