• Culture Collide Festival: Keaton Henson and Liars

    With over 65 acts from countries around the globe, Culture Collide is like the U.N. of Music. The three-day festival has seven venues nestled within Echo Park, LA. There's little room for pretention -- soundchecks happen in front of the audience and artists put their sound and soul on the line for whoever stumbles their way. There's out-door dancing, dark-room discovering, and in some cases, sitting in a church. Keaton Henson and Liars are two standout acts exploring outcast themes, which festival-goers fully embraced from start to finish.

  • AFI Brings Joy Through Its Sorrow to Devoted New York City Fans

    AFI's fan base, the "Despair Faction," put more emphasis on the faction aspect than the despair. Although prone to wearing every shade of black available at Hot Topic, the group is a friendly bunch at the band's shows, waiting for hours outside the venue and selling out concerts as soon as tickets go on sale, as they did for the October 10 show at Webster Hall in New York City. Perhaps they enjoy the music more than the mood, or perhaps being in the presence of cult-of-personality vocalist Davey Havok (although guitarist Jade Puget certainly has his admirers) pushes the clouds away for brief moments. The positive vibes made even the fan club's official slogan, "through our bleeding, we are one," (frequently chanted) seem like a good thing.

    Kentucky rockers Cage The Elephant battle the idea of "fear of music" on their third album, Melophobia.
