Brave New World’s release, “Catharsis”, is both Brave and Cathartic

**TW: Addiction – Take care while reading** Catharsis hit me like a ton of bricks. Since my first listen I have grooved along, written down great lines to remember, thought a lot, and cried a little. Before I get into the album though, I’d like to start with how I got here. Curtis, from Brave New World, hit me up to talk about his band and their upcoming release. His brother, Ryan, is another brilliant...

New Year’s Eve (Eve, Eve) Party with Dream the Heavy, No Sleep for Zombies and 3 Leagues to Rome

While I am not generally a fan of going out on New Year’s Eve – New Year’s Eve, Eve, Eve? That’s my kind of party! I met the funky fellows from Dream the Heavy on our podcast, Bands and Artists we like and Support that Aren’t as good as GHU. If you’re unfamiliar with the podcast and/or God Hates Unicorns, the name may sound off-putting. This is intentional, as we are a bunch of huge...

You’ll Want to “Line Up” to Get the New Johnny and the Razorblades Album

I first checked out Johnny and the Razorblades when I met Johnny Razorblade himself at his recording studio. He actually records and produces my band, God Hates Unicorns, at his award-nominated spot, Razorblade Recordings. (Side note, the album he recorded and produced for us won 2nd best album of the year in the Pittsburgh City Paper best of 2022. He’s the real deal.) At any rate, I was extremely late to a party that had...

Silicon Kong Gets Out of this World with The Glam-Tastic Escape!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Hemi, AKA Silicon Kong, at a red-carpet movie premier for the Panic Terror Films / DowncastSpark short film, Hidden Behind the Veil. Now one thing I want to clarify up top – I’m not referring to Ian as one of those “licky” dog toys that they get peanut butter out of (unless that’s something he’s into, you’d have to ask his wife on that). Silicon Kong (Ian Hemi) is...

WHO is “You Can’t Lie to God” about? (Spoiler, it’s about Joshua.) IS God Hates Unicorns trying to be the next Fleetwood...

Black Ridge Lights Up the City with their CD Release Party for “Raw Power”

Black Ridge hosted their “Raw Power” CD Release Show at Next Door Café on Thursday, November 10th. A close friend (Bill from Build the Scene) suggested Jana (the boss of my fam, First Angel Media) and I attend, and he didn’t exactly have to twist our arms to make it happen. Anyone who has any experience with these guys absolutely adores them. A chance to see an amazing band with my amazing friends? Count me...

Half-Covered Halloween part 7.1: OZZFEST

Some Die Nameless, a well-respected, loved, and even adored promoter team in Pittsburgh presented a 7th round of their “Half-Covered Halloween” show tradition. This year was a little different than in years past, though. They have split the event into two, each having a specific theme. On October 22nd, round one went down at Ormsby Ave Cafe and Outdoor Stage. The theme was Ozzfest, and the participating bands did not disappoint in bringing this to life....
