Interview: Bob Nanna: Braid
Chances are, if you’re a fan of alternative music, you have heard Bob Nanna’s influence. His band Braid was instrumental in defining that 90’s indie (dare I say emo) sound that countless musicians cite as inspiration. When Braid disbanded, he didn’t stop writing, and formed Hey Mercedes, another poppy indie band the same same vein,...
Mike Kinsella: Owen
When I was in high school, my guitar teacher always tried to open me up to new music. Around 1999/2000, he gave me a record by a Chicago-local band called American Football. The guitarwork was beautiful. Clean, melodic, complex without being complicated, and just created a wonderful mood. The man behind the music was Mike...
Nick Steinborn: The Wonder Years

Unfortunately, due to the current issues with the music industry, students seem to be willing to take whatever they can get. One of the first ideas they have, if they can’t be in a successful band,...
Ben Sharp: The Man Behind Cloudkicker
Cloudkicker was one of the most refreshing bands I have heard in a long time. After reading the website I found out it wasn’t a band, but in fact one insanely creative talented guy, Ben Sharp. Combing the heaviness of Meshuggah, and the sense of melody of Jimmy Eat World, he has really hit something...
Josh Newton: Every Time I Die
Josh Newton is the ultimate utility man. He has been the role player in bands ranging from bouncy indie rock, to blood curdling metal riffage. His time with Shiner garnished one of my top 5 all time favorite records, The Egg. These days, he’s found himself as the first bass player Every Time I Die...
