by Katherine Fulton How did the Hive Robbers come about? How did you get into music? The band started as a backup band for Aidan when he wanted to start playing his songs live. That was the summer of 2010 and by the following January we were a set group playing under the name Aidan Bailey Williams Band. When we wanted to release our first EP we had settled on the name Hive Robbers in order to represent the fact that we were no longer following the creative direction of just Aidan, rather the collective thought process of a single unit. Not to mention, it’s a little easier to remember. ...
Escondido, CA | October 17 -- Best to disregard this press release. It's unlikely that you possess the sophistication to fathom the overwhelming gravitas of the potation it discusses. Thus, stop reading now. Hit delete and retire outside with your fizzy yellow beer. But if, by some infinitesimally minute chance, you are one of the Worthy craft beer cognoscenti and you've somehow surmised that you're prepared for today's release of Double Bastard Ale, then do proceed.

In fact, most of the album sounds like it was recorded with everything peaki...
The seed The Dead Boys planted was rude and crude, and when the NE Ohio streets gave birth to its first true American punk rock band, music would never be the same again. The Cleveland band’s young guitarist, Gene O’Connor who went by the moniker “Cheetah Chrome”, blazed a pioneering punk trail that had never before been seen or heard, if only for a moment in time. The Dead Boys came about at a time when the music world was aching for a new sound separate from the comfortable tedium of the bland sound of 1970s rock and roll. Steve “Stiv” Bators’ Midwest snarl and gra...
Young and old were smiling when Irish Punk band Flogging Molly came to town at the Cleveland House of Blues, March 5. Though St. Patrick’s Day is still a few weeks away this crowd was ready to get down with their inner shamrock. The LA seven-piece hit the stage before a sold-out crowd. The throngs responded by dancing and singing along to tunes of their favorite Celtic Punk sons and daughter, who were in town on the final leg of their Green 17 American tour. An Irish sea of fans replete in black and green t-shirts, caps on their heads and Guinness in their hands cheered and chant...
