Theory of a Deadman

Black metal, death metal, thrash metal, speed metal . . . whatever you want to call it, the band Theory of a Deadman immediately conjures up images of a group of dour dudes wearing inverted crosses and growling about dancing with Mr. D. The quartet’s affiliation with Roadrunner Records — the past breeding ground for satanic metal gurus such as Deicide and Mercyful…
Seether

Few bands come with as handy a self-descriptive name as Seether. The three-piece rock outfit specializes in angst-y anthems that paint a darkly complicated world, with many tunes moving from a slow boil to a full-bore explosion. Regularly compared to Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and Scott Stapp of fellow Wind-Up Records act Creed, singer/songwriter/guitarist Shaun Morgan makes no bones about where that discontent comes…
12 Stones

It’s been a pretty amazing two-year ride for 12 Stones, a rock-solid foursome from the New Orleans suburb of Mandeville, LA. In just a few months, the group has recorded and released its self-titled debut album (on Wind-up Records) and is now touring with Wind-up megastars Creed. Not bad, considering three of the Stones are under 21 years old. After playing only a handful of gigs,…

Their chances of escaping without sliding back down the hill to a life of boredom and a job at the local…
Live Paves a Confident Path to the Future

Having survived the alternative rock hysteria of the '90s with their integrity intact, Live has good reason to celebrate their triumphant 10th anniversary. But instead of uncorking champagne and resting on their laurels, the Pennsylvania foursome is releasing a vibrant new album that retains the power of previous recordings while paving a confident path to the future. Modestly titled V, the new album underscores Live's penchant for composing…
Faith Hill Tops BMI’s List of Grammy Winners

Hill, a first time winner, took home Grammys for Best Country Album (Breathe), Best Female Country Vocal Performance ("Breathe") and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals ("Let's Make…
Fuel

Trendy cynicism be damned: On their rousing sophomore album, Something Like Human, Fuel creates heroic, fist-pumping music that recalls '70s hard rockers like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. "Something Like Human" is more than a curious CD title - it's also an apt description for Fuel's musical approach. As evidenced by tracks like "Last Time," "Empty Spaces" and "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)," Fuel creatively bridges…
