We Are The In Crowd at Warped Tour 2010, Oceanport
July 18– Forming in 2009 and signing to Fearless Records not too long after, We Are The In Crowd (formally The In Crowd) has gained quite a bit of exposure within the past year. With Warped Tour 2010 being their longest tour to date, the band has a lot to prove to its audience within this tour– while the band did suffer from a handful of mishaps, the five piece from Poughkeepsie, NY showed some promise during their set on the SkullCandy stage.

Flyleaf at Webster Hall
May 22– Combining stellar energy with poetic and meaningful songs, Flyleaf absolutely destroyed New York City’s Webster Hall and its audience. The band’s performance was something that will stick in my mind for a long time.

Four Year Strong at Blender Theatre
February 12– On Feb. 12, it appeared as though a flannel-clad army had assembled at New York City’s Blender Theatre. Was a war about to break out in the city’s streets? Not exactly.

Interview with Laura Stevenson & the Cans
If you’re a fan of female-fronted, heartfelt folk-rock, it’s time you check out Laura Stevenson and The Cans. The band is part of QuoteUnquote Records, run by Jeff Rosenstock [Bomb the Music Industry, Kudrow, Arrogant Sons of Bitches], and, like their label mates, showcases a flawless brand of DIY-tunes. I personally had the pleasure of asking the talented Laura Stevenson a few questions, and here is what she had to say.
Bands for Anne Benefit Concert
Local rock music photographer and a dear friend of mine, Anne Ferguson, suffered a great loss when her Nikon D80′s mirror system was shattered while photographing a concert recently. Known to many frequent concert-goers as “photog-mom”, Anne was a staple at almost any hardcore show, happily situating herself in the photo pit and capturing not only a live show, but the very passion and emotion musicians expressed during a performance that only she could find.
While many of her fans and close friends wanted to help, not many could think of an appropriate way to aid Anne, who did not have the funds to replace the irreparably damaged DSLR camera body. It was Darien Paige, lead singer of NYC’s Belladonna, who thought of a way to help Anne while providing any potential donaters some great entertainment; it was with this idea that the Bands For Anne Benefit Concert was born.
