Help Blink 182 Raise Money for Red Cross
epicartsentertainment:
Blink 182 has just released this exclusive charity T-shirt in light of the recent earthquake and dire need of assistance in Haiti. At just $15, all of the proceeds (yes that is 100%) will go to the Red Cross. That’s right, you can help make a difference and for doing so Blink 182 will send you this awesome tshirt in recognition. Every little bit helps.
To buy this tshirt...

To celebrate the release of their latest album, ‘Sainthood’, Tegan and Sara announced a European tour, the oh so imaginatively named Sainthood tour. On the 14th November, the two girls along with their band and their crew, and a very strange supporting act that went by the name Astronautalis, rolled into Manchester. The line outside (I’ve heard) began at some point around...

Interview: Dahvie Vanity from Blood On The Dance...
epicartsentertainment:
…Sorry I just lost my train of thought. Lol. Lol. Jk. Cut That. Do you think the whole practice redefines the parameter of who can be a live performer or is it just another means?
It’s just another creative means. Like I said, fuck, it’s exciting. Music wants to always be progressive and things like that so you don’t always want to use the same things. You can switch it...

Buddy: (rambling about something) *gets something thrown at head* Whoa, what was that? *looks around, finds it, picks it up* Which one of you fucking…what? … Is this a vibrator? Dude, it’s a motherfucking vibrator. Well, I’m a little drunk right now, so that didn’t hurt as much as it should have.
- A few songs later -
Buddy: So, I haven’t been hit with...

Dual review: Paramore - Brand New Eyes
epicartsentertainment:
On Brand New Eyes, Paramore might have gotten around to taking off their training wheels, but they only have scraped knees to show for it.
The band’s third studio album is their most mature effort yet. However, I’m not convinced that Paramore (particularly frontwoman Hayley Williams) has the chops or drive to reach post-pubescence. Technically, the playing has improved....
Reading Weekend '09
epicartsentertainment:
Reading Festival opened it’s gates on Wednesday 26th evening to thousands of happy campers completely stoked on three days of pure live music and partying in fields, that for the most part of the year act as a livestock farm but for these few days they serve as camping grounds an a place to get fucked up and have an all round good time for those lucky enough to get their...

Malaysia: Gay Sex Leads To Swine Flu
fuckyeahlgbt:
Malaysia’s state-run news agency is urging its readers to avoid homosexual sex and masturbation if they want to remain free of swine flu. An article published Sunday by Bernama, the Malaysian government news agency, singles out homosexual sex as an activity that can cause people to contract swine flu, while also emphasizing that “normal sexual union between members of the opposite...
Interview: LIGHTS at Warped Tour 2009
epicartsentertainment:
Now we’ve gone over what a freaking hectic bit the whole of Warped Tour in Mansfield, Massachusetts was time and again. The pouring rain. The mud. The grounds that caused kids to herd like cattle to get from one bit to another with little sense of cohesion. Trying to see your favorite band and missing out isn’t the only kind of crap luck that can happen. Press and the...
Interview: Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail at Warped...
epicartsentertainment:
The tiny hallway hidden away behind catering is packed. Maneuvering through the tiny room filled with chairs, massive amounts of food, and crammed full with musicians and others on tour was hard enough. Trying not to get crushed in the small hallway while waiting for interviews? Equally impossible. Dripping from the rain that had yet to let up outside (by that point,...

Interview: Alex of All Time Low at Warped Tour '09
epicartsentertainment:
It’s Tuesday May 21st and Warped Tour has rolled in to Mansfield, Massachusetts and despite the (lack of) proximity, everyone will always refer to any date in Massachusetts as “Boston”. The press area consists of a maze through catering wherein photographers and journalists are told to stay out of the way of artists, not acknowledge them, get in their way, or take candid...
Showbread Fears God August 11th
epicartsentertainment:
The Fear of God is probably one of the most powerful album titles that a album has had to boast to date. Showbread will reveal exactly what they have to offer with their next release off of Tooth and Nail records on August 11th. Over the years, there is scarcely a place that Showbread has not ventured with their sound from the chaotic dissonant No Sir to the more melodic and...
Interview: Architects at Warped Tour '09
epicartsentertainment:
I’m just going to come out and say it. Architects is one of the best bands I’ve heard in the past few years. In an industry filled with repetition, whining, and “Superman”ing ladies, Architects play honest rock music. They write songs about two things: drugs and law enforcement (frontman Brandon Phillips’ words, not mine), they turn out some killer guitar riffs and hooks,...
Beggars - Thrice
epicartsentertainment:
Three months early and it has already leaked, which lead to an iTunes release date being pushed forward two months in hope that people would be a little less tempted to download the watermarked leak and wait that little extra. Truthfully, I was a little skeptical from what I’d heard thusfar of Thrice’s latest effort, Beggars. My hopes were answered when the shitty...
harry potter & the half blood hoopla
epicartsentertainment:
There are so many things that need to be said about this blockbuster of the summer. Regardless of the fact that few people I know could boast having seen any substantial forms of promotion for this movie, it clearly wasn’t needed. Fans have been counting down since before the movie was pushed back from a winter 2008 date to a summer 2009. The sixth wind of the series of...
bleeding through rises or records at least
epicartsentertainment:
The Southern California based band, who celebrates their 10 Year Anniversary next month with a West Coast tour, is proud to announce their new alliance with Rise Records, the Portland based independent record label. And from the sound of it, the band is pretty excited about the signage and allying themselves with a label that in the midst of many that are flopping at the...
wtf omg sn33kz p34kz with blood on the dance floor
epicartsentertainment:
Admittedly, I have to look away to pay attention to the music because Dahvie’s hair distracts me too much to write anything coherent. There are so many colors and stripes and I wonder if there are clips or if they are glued in there? Then there’s the fact that at first I was really confused and convinced that the singer was a girl because of the lips and the possibility of...
epicartsentertainment:
Enter Shikari’s Common Dreads, though emblazoned with the symbol of the lion over the album’s artwork which is somewhat patriotic to the British crown, this album show’s the band in a light in which they are far from proud of their own countries actions. The album itself seems to be more of a reaction to the misdeeds of British politicians, the war mongers, and an expression...
Millionaires Milli Vanilli Moment at Warped Tour
epicartsentertainment:
Time out. I thought I was watching a video of Millionaires on Warped Tour not Milli Vanilli. Alright, alright. I guess I can’t go so far as to say that considering they have vaginas, weaves, more makeup than Sephora and are at least kind of doing something with their vocals. Maybe. Sort of. Regardless, I’m still a little bit confused: lip syncing? warped tour? The last...
The return of the exclamation point. →
epicartsentertainment:
Ladies and gentleman, let it be known that an item marked for punctuation has never made me happier in my life(!).
For those who are unaware, the past week has brought about some shocking news in Fueled By Ramen-land. That’s right. Ryan Ross does coke. (Why is anyone shocked?) But more importantly, he and Jon Walker have left Panic(!) At The Disco. Never fear,...
the big bang
The sound of his voice is creation itself though he wanders misguided without cause or recollection. The words pour from his lips without so much as a thought. He weaves the beginning of his very own end but these stories he tells from times long past about people he once knew and places he had once been are all that remains. Everything else has been forgotten and he struggles with the names...
