  • 5 Rules Of Successful Myspace Music Promotion
    By: Ty Cohen | - The music and recording industry is overcrowded. Hundreds of demos make their way into the mailrooms of the big recording studios every day.

  • Devendra Banhart Tickets - Devendra Banhart On New Album And Beck
    By: Brent Warnken | - Devendra Banhart may be readying the release of his major label debut, but that doesn't mean the comic folk rocker is selling out. On the contrary, the singer-songwriter keeps us guessing (and, more often than not, scratching our heads) on his forthcoming new album, What Will We Be, which will arrive via Warner Brothers on October 27.

    By: Brent Warnken | - Emerging out of relative MySpace anonymity (whatever that means these days), Passion Pit has become one of the most buzzed about up-and-coming electro-pop acts and somehow managed to escape the backlash that usually goes along with that. Passion Pit's Ayad Al Adhamy tells Billboard online that the band isn't worried about fans suddenly turning against them because they simply aren't that smooth. Says the keyboardist with a laugh, "I think it helps that we're so dorky. People are like, 'Aw, they' ...

  • Secondhand Serenade Tickets - Twisting His Own Plot
    By: Brent Warnken | - He may be a one-man act, but there is anything small about the sound that John Vessely produces under the name Secondhand Serenade.

  • Guns N' Roses Tickets - From Vinyl To Myspace
    By: Brent Warnken | - Before there was MySpace or any other form of an online music mecca readily available to the eyes and ears of millions of fans, there was vinyl, and Guns N' Roses' frontman Axl Rose has lived through it all, evolving with the changing times and taking complete advantage of the social network MySpace to promote GNR's brand new release Chinese Democracy, an album 17 years in the making.

  • Taylor Swift Tickets - Battle Of The Breakup Song
    By: Brent Warnken | - When it comes to celebrity romance, nothing goes unnoticed or undocumented. So it is for Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas, the two teenage heartthrobs who called it quits several months ago. 19-year-old Jonas immediately went on to date 22-year-old actress Camilla Belle after his very-public breakup last fall with Swift (he reportedly broke up with her in a 27-second phone call,) after which Swift, then working on perfecting the album Fearless, poured her heart out in the catchy "Forever & Always," in ...

  • Asher Roth Tickets - He's Not New
    By: Brent Warnken | - He may not be the first white rapper to crack the Top 40, but he's the first one to really embrace his awkwardness- making Asher Roth, the complete fraternity boy of white suburbia, a popular star via his hit "I Love College," an ode to the rowdy life that lasts four years (sometimes more) during your most formative years (though for Roth, he dropped out of West Chester University of Pennsylvania three years ago, while that remains probably for the better).

    By: Nick Bognar | - If you haven't been reading the trades for the last couple of years, you might be saddened to know that the music industry -at least, the music industry as it has been molded over the last 40 years- is crumbling.
