the great four year strong take over
before i tell you about the concert, lemme tell you about my friend migs. to say he’s one of my favorite people is an understatement. that dude has done things more than the usual “friend” role. he’s been a cheerleader, a naysayer, a bandleader, a punching bag, a judger to my boys and ultimately, a best man. though i have 7 bestmen in my life, migs is the only one who gets...

good charlotte, "it's good to be back"
The crowd went super ecstatic as Good Charlotte guitarist Joel Madden declared onstage “I am so moving to the Philippines”. Personally I’m not sure if the man was serious or not, but you can sense he means it. After all, this is the second time the acclaimed pop-punk band found themselves in our part of the world.

hello, all time low.
It’s not often you get a wake up call from a rockstar. It’s probably one of things you’d never expect you’d catch.

SAY IT AIN'T SO
SAOSIN’S BEAU BURCHNELL SPEAKS ABOUT HIS BAND AND WHY HE DOESN’T LIKE SCREAMO LATELY.
Beau Burchnell is one deceiving character. I’ve always had a mental image of an aloof person, a tad intimidating, a tad soft-spoken despite being one big ball of energy onstage…but never the man that presented himself in front of me. Here, we have a cheerful fellow. Tall, slender with light brown hair and...
