News broke that Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour [November 2009 - April 2011] is estimated to gross $200M worldwide according to Billboard, putting her in a league not of her own perse, but one shared only with the likes of the few including Madonna and u2. So I gotta ask, why are we so gaga for [...]
What would you get if Peter Gabriel sang hard-rock? Virginia Beach based rockers The Influence seem a likely candidate. The best way to describe their sound is crunchy, tight, 90′s style hard rock. Anyone who can shred a wicked rock solo is a welcome relief from the sometimes monotonous lo-fi aesthetic currently strangling pop music [...]
When we last heard from Sufjan, the cipher of indie rock dropped a symphonic look at the BQE on us, a kind of love note indie symphony of precious melodies and delicately soaring brass that expounded on the virtues of a New York freeway. A man after Robert Moses’ heart if I ever saw one. [...]

Summer Camp loves the 80′s. They really love it. Like, make it hand-made cards and mix tapes kind of love. From their unadulterated adoration for its synth-laden sounds, curly-haired protagonists, and the hazy SoCal sunshine quality of its movies.
