Two weeks after a near capacity album release show, and thousands of people downloading their second album via their website in 2010, Maid Myriad’s Kevin Klemm and JCK’s brother Alexander died on Christmas day. “I found myself frozen in death’s glazed stare,” says songwriter JCK. “My writing wheels rusted up and wouldn’t spin anymore.” After an eight-month hiatus, the band is back with a whole new set. “It’s liberating to be playing again. We have a string quartet joining us for a few songs about our brother.” Catch Maid Myriad’s first show in eight months April 22nd...
December 16 - Cleveland - The Winchester After a few year's hiatus, Motter Flynn reunites for this show, which will also serve as a send-off to Mike as he prepares to move to Los Angeles! Motter Flynn is a three piece indie alternative, rock n’ roll band from Cleveland, Ohio which formed in 2007. Their catchy songwriting and unique on-stage chemistry garnered them much deserved attention. Although the Motter Flynn sound is truly their own, they cite bands such as U2, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and R.E.M. as influences. A track on their EP release, Just For You, won Ultimate-Guitar....
Thirty-one years, 13 albums and a million miles of road traveled and there seems to be no end in sight for The Meat Puppets. From their humble beginning in Phoenix in 1980 playing parties and punk bars to flirting with commercial success in the early ’90s grunge boom, the “brothers meat” have put together one of the most interesting catalogs in alternative music. We interviewed frontman Curt Kirkwood to find out some more about them. BB: Tell me about the new album, “Lollipop.” CK: Well, it’s the third record since we reunited in 2006. We’ve been on tour pretty much non-sto...
We've been eagerly awaiting the return of AMC's The Walking Dead since last season ended with a literal bang that destroyed the Center For Disease Control and left our heroes in the lurch with no more protection than a beat up RV. During the hiatus, things got sketchy thanks to the abrupt departure of showrunner Frank Darabont and many worried that the show would suffer. After watching the season two premier, the worry is over and it's apparent that Robert Kirkman, the graphic novelist, has everything under control. The pacing has picked up and fear is at the forefront. The largest hurdle st...
Foo Fighters play the Quicken Loans Arena on 9/20. There are hundreds of jokes about drummers being the least sexy member of a band. This is probably because they sit at the back of the stage, hidden behind a drum set nearly as large as them and hit things. The drummer may be the timepiece of the band, but they don’t have the face time that the other members do, so they are usually lost in the commotion. When Dave Grohl started Foo Fighters in 1994, it was thought of as a joke. How could a drummer start his own rock band, especially when he was the only official member? When he walked...
Third Eye Blind Ursa Major Third Eye Blind return from a six-year hiatus with “Ursa Major,” a release on their own Mega Collider Records imprint. Now while often a switch from the majors to your own label can signal a significant shift for most bands, with Third Eye Blind, some of the forced sheen from Elektra is gone, but certainly not the pop rock sensibility. “Ursa Major” showcases the band in a slightly more serious light than previous efforts, but make no mistake, it’s still a Third Eye Blind record. Drummer Brad Hargreaves said in his interview with this very magazine that ch...
If you live in northeast Ohio and haven’t heard of Stone Slinger, you must have been hiding in a cave for ten years — the Canton natives have played nearly every bar in the area. If that’s the case, come out of that hole and allow us to catch you up to speed. Stone Slinger consists of Todd “Wolf” Williams on vocals, Andy “Riffman” Masalko and Mike “Stone” Fisher on guitar, Neal “Beard” Franklin on bass and Kevan “Mountain” Phares rounding out the band on drums. Buzzbin caught up with the band over enough cheap beers and cigarettes to feed a village in Africa. Afte...
After Akron's famed Houseguest had taken an open-ended hiatus, musician David Rich was looking for some new blood to play some tunes. Enter Dave Giffels, who Rich had known since the days of Main Street's now defunct Lime Spider. Giffels' band Difficult had also stopping playing together so the time was fitting. The two dudes started writing music last summer with the likes of Friday Mike and Pat McNulty, who both played in The Same Things that sadly had also called it quits. And May Company was born. Buzzbin Magazine caught up with Rich to discuss the recent workings of this exciting new ...
Lestat’s industrial sound is back again after the band’s hiatus since early 2000. This Cleveland band captivates with its dark sound — definitely worth checking out. ...
Every rock fan in America worth their salt remembers A Perfect Circle, the rock supergroup that seemed to be everywhere at the turn of the millennium. “Mer de Noms,” their first album, went platinum and the next two both struck gold. Then, in 2004, the band went on hiatus, and despite swirling rumors of their imminent reunion, nothing seemed to materialize. A Perfect Circle was founded by Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan. Howerdel started his musical career as a guitar tech for Fishbone, David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and Tool. Keenan, who co-founded Tool, was al...
Though he captured a few hearts with his band The District after two albums (along with endless nationwide tours), Ron Pope engineered a solo career after an extended hiatus of the band. Within a year, he gained a loyal following, made countless singles and received several offers from major record labels, eventually landing at Universal Republic. Now free from his contractual agreements, Pope steps out with “Whatever It Takes,” released last month courtesy of his own label, Hard Six Records. Tracks such as “If You Were A Stone” and “Our Song” seem primed for local Top 20 radio ...
