Alkaline Trio Packs Cleveland's House of Blues
Lisa Sanchez
Selling out the House of Blues in Cleveland is not always an easy task. It seems reserved for big-brand MTV names and aging rock legends. Apparently Alkaline Trio may be a bit of both considering they played to a full House of Blues on May 28th.

Wolf People - Fain
Chad W. Lutz
Though young, Wolf People remains hungry, and Fain captures a band ready to take a bite out of pop music, one beautifully written ballad at a time.

David Bowie - The Next Day
Danielle Raub
The fact that I would marry David Bowie and bear little Ziggys with fabulous ginger mullets and space suits does not mean I won’t give David’s new album The Next Day the full critique (notice we’re on a first name basis).

Tear Out the Heart - Violence
Lisa Sanchez
Do I smell Evil Dead references? These boys really know how to massage that meaty tender spot between my spinal cord and squishy viscera.

As the Standells sang: Boston, you’re my home. Dropkick – I love you even more than your fantastic music for constantly supporting that home.
The Dropkick Murphys have released Rose Tattoo: For Boston Charity EP, a special three-song EP available exclusively through iTunes for only $1.29. All parties involved have agreed to donate 100% of proceeds to The Claddagh Fund, a charity run by Dropkick bassist/vocalist Ken Casey, which will ensure that the money raised directly benefits the victims and their families.

43 Years ago something happened here that disrupted the foreseeable flow of time. Events born of war and civil unrest spurred the sleeping dragons of infamy and forever blotted tomorrow’s date with images we’ll never forget and a message that’s sure to last. May 4, 1970, almost seems too far removed to think it ever even happened, but it did.

During the last stretch of the 2013 Cleveland International Film Festival I was able to take in a wide array of films that made me laugh, cry and contemplate. The last week of the festival brought record breaking crowds and lasting memories for all who attended. Friday, April 12th was volunteer appreciation day, which gave the countless volunteers who make the festival the success it is the applause they deserve. With 8,334 volunteer hours logged, I think we can agree that the volunteers are truly the heart of the festival.

The 37th Annual Cleveland International Film Festival is now in full swing and downtown’s Tower City has been flooded with a cultural overflow of pure, unadulterated energy. Day 3 isn’t showing any less crowds than the magnificent and packed Opening Night Gala and the main floor’s fountain area is filled with vendors selling crafts and other homemade goods as artists take advantage of the unusually large crowds.

Summer time is upon us! We have finally been granted a reprieve from the days when we are hermetically sealed in our homes in an effort to not freeze our asses off. The thirst to be outside and to be inhaling fresh air by the bucketful is thick in our throats.

I am a man that saw something happen that most people won’t see nor will they have happen to them. As a responsible adult and a responsible father I needed to draw the line and show my kids the difference between humans and animals.
