• Concert Review: John Ryle House in Haledon, NJ, 6/13/14

    Basement shows rarely ever run smoothly on a normal day, but having a show on Friday the 13th almost guarantees that nothing will go right. Despite the date, however, the show I attended last night at the John Ryle House in Haledon, NJ was one of the most efficient and pleasant basement shows I've ever been to. For starters, the show only started 25 minutes late, instead of the usual 90 minutes.

  • Florida Georgia Line Wants to Help a Friend Get Inked (and You Can Pitch In)

    Florida Georgia Line is on the "Here's To The Good Times Summer Series Tour" with Nelly and Chris Lane and needless to say, Tyler and Brian have been spending lots of quality time with their tour mates. When Chris Lane's single, "Broken Windshield View" hit iTunes, they were big fans.
