. Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth
If you love earsplitting guitars, bleeding drums and a bass line with enough rhythm to make a white man blush, then you will love Steve Conte & Crazy Truth. Conte has made a name for himself as a gun slinging guitar god (especially as the lead guitarist of the New York Dolls). (3 stars) - Read the full Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth review

. Even If It Breaks Your Heart
Growing up, I loved watching all award shows. I would root for my favorite actors, directors and music stars to win. Sometimes in the 1990s I stopped caring. I realized that awards are hollow, unmemorable and that its the music that lives on. - Read the full Even If It Breaks Your Heart review

. Anvil: Defying the Odds
If you are wondering if the band are similar to the personalities we came to love and cheer for in the film, the answer would be a resounding yes. There was no ego involved here, I found three guys extremely grateful for this rebirth which is a glorious resurrection that is unparalleled in the annals of music. - Read the full Anvil: Defying the Odds review

. Fantastic Mr. Fox Soundtrack
This past holiday season the public at large missed out on one of the most ingenious and charming films of the year- Fantastic Mr. Fox, a stop motion animation film directed by Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums). (3.5 stars) - Read the full Fantastic Mr. Fox Soundtrack review

. Tony K Names the Artist of the Decade
Tony J writes of his Artist of the Decade pick: As I looked back upon this decade, I found this artist to have more songs that spoke to me than any other artist.

Find out here. - Read the full Tony K Names the Artist of the Decade review

. Tony K's Top Albums of 2009 Special
2009 wasnt a great year for albums. I didnt award a single album I heard all year four-stars. Considering I had a five-star and a few albums that earned 4.5 stars in 2008, this is a bit of a letdown. Despite this, Id be lying to you if there werent a number of great albums that I heard this year - Read the full Tony K's Top Albums of 2009 Special review

. Tony K's Best Concert of 2009 Pick

(5 stars) - Read the full Tony K's Best Concert of 2009 Pick review

. John Mellencamp - Life, Death, Live and Freedom
Its stunning to realize that it took Mellencamp 33-years after his debut record to release a live recording that was something more than a few B-sides. The performances housed on the live EP Life, Death, Live & Freedom feature Mellencamp at his most severe and sincere (4 stars) - Read the full John Mellencamp - Life, Death, Live and Freedom review

. A Buyer's Guide to the Beatles Remasters
While others were rushing to get the reviews of these remasters out in record time, I couldnt do that, I had to listen to every last song on a CD player no less allowing me to revel in the brilliance of the Fab Four. - Read the full A Buyer's Guide to the Beatles Remasters review

. Motley Crue: A Visual History, 1983-2005 (Neil Zlozower)
Neil Zlozower has been a staple of the LA music scene for over three decades. Besides capturing many of the biggest 80s stars of the Sunset Strip, he also has some of the most legendary pictures of Van Halen, for which he compiled into a book, something he has done once again for Motley Crue. - Read the full Motley Crue: A Visual History, 1983-2005 (Neil Zlozower) review

. Rock Reads: Bruce Springsteen: The Light in Darkness
To this day, I cant go to a Springsteen show without someone telling me a tall tale about how they saw Springsteen play an eight-hour show…and then he took out a broom and swept the floor of the club. Its almost laughable, but understandable. - Read the full Rock Reads: Bruce Springsteen: The Light in Darkness review

. Keith Urban Live in Chicago Nov 2009
Urban kicked it all off with an intimate full band performance for a few hundred fans at Joes on Weed Street in Chicago. He brought the tour full circle with a one-off acoustic/ Q&A performance for a mere 300-fans once again at Joes. - Read the full Keith Urban Live in Chicago Nov 2009 review

. KISS Live in Chicago Nov 2009
Arriving in Chicago for their first show in a half decade, and the bands first performance at the United Center, it was like a entering a time machine back to the 1970s where KISS ruled arenas. - Read the full KISS Live in Chicago Nov 2009 review

. Kelly Clarkson Live October 2009
Flexing a range of musical styles and perfect pacing, Kelly Clarkson did everything right. She is someone who through her enthusiasm and fortitude has become more than a television star, but someone who is without question, a truly significant artist. (5 stars) - Read the full Kelly Clarkson Live October 2009 review

. Bon Jovi - The Circle
Bon Jovis eleventh studio record, The Circle is an enticing enigma. Playing to their strengths with a sound ready-made for arena bombast, its immediately alluring and entrancing, but is this a positive or a negative is the question at the tip of everyones tongue? (3 stars) - Read the full Bon Jovi - The Circle review

. Rock Reads: Bon Jovi - When We Were Beautiful
This book is a standalone entity and while it shares its name with the title of a new song and their documentary, its more or less a collection of pictures and stories celebrating the bands quarter of a century together. (4.5 stars) - Read the full Rock Reads: Bon Jovi - When We Were Beautiful review

. Will Hoge: Highway Wings and Harrowing Hearts
This was Will Hoges first plugged-in full band show in Chicago in nearly a year-and-a-half.

. Michael McDermott - Hey La Hey
Taking a page from the rock eras great singer-songwriters, McDermott has a penchant for making you believe that hes in the throes of war in each of his songs as he exerts himself to the point where your speakers will tower over from the avalanche of emotions. (3.5 stars) - Read the full Michael McDermott - Hey La Hey review

. Europe - Last Look At Eden
Sadly many people only know of Europe from the hits from the The Final Countdown record, which is a misfortune because theres more to them than meets the eye. I know what youre thinking, but stay with me. (3.5 stars) - Read the full Europe - Last Look At Eden review

. Will Hoge - The Wreckage
Nashville singer-songwriter Will Hoges fifth full length record The Wreckage finds broken souls questioning everything as the their walls close in on them. The eleven songs that encompass The Wreckageare drenched in melancholy. (3.5 stars) - Read the full Will Hoge - The Wreckage review

. Anvil! The Story of Anvil DVD
Anvil! The Story of Anvil is more than a momentous music documentary, or even an indispensable documentary; it is simply one of the best films of 2009. I have yet to meet someone who hasnt been overwhelmingly moved by the film. (5 stars) - Read the full Anvil! The Story of Anvil DVD review

. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band -The Born To Run Concert
How would the entire Born To Run album performed in sequence within the larger scope of a show? Springsteen and the E Street Band hushed the cynic in me with a tense and telescoping performance of eight of the greatest songs to ever be assembled and sequenced on a circular piece of vinyl. - Read the full Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band -The Born To Run Concert review

. Anvil - This Is Thirteen
This Is Thirteen feels like an ageless metal record- it isnt death metal, speed or thrash metal, but simply a distinguished metal record cut from the cloth of their classic past where they embrace all of the elements that made them so influential in the first place. (3 stars) - Read the full Anvil - This Is Thirteen review

Through the towering crowd and visceral reactions, we discover unheralded gems, hear favorites in an entirely distinctive light. - Read the full Pearl Jam Month: Live In Chicago Night 2 review

. Pearl Jam Month: Riot Act
Riot Act is still a very crucial record with illuminating lyrics many choose to overlook. However, its also deemed to be the bands least sonically rewarding. Records live inside of you and despite some of their faults; a song like this can appear out of nowhere and just reinvigorate you - Read the full Pearl Jam Month: Riot Act review

. Pearl Jam Month: Backspacer
Backspacer is a quintessential Pearl Jam record it whips past you in a mere 37-minutes. Im not going to tell you this is a return to form or their best since Vs., but its an unbelievably resilient record that continues to disclose harmonious wonders with every listen. (3.5 stars) - Read the full Pearl Jam Month: Backspacer review

. U2 Live in Chicago Night Two (With Photos)
Early on in U2s second 360 Tour show at Soldier Field in Chicago (their second North American show) Bono told the crowd Weve got new songs, weve got old songs, weve got songs weve never played before. It was an ostentatious proclamation that could have meant several things - Read the full U2 Live in Chicago Night Two (With Photos) review

. U2 - Opening Night of US Tour
Four songs into U2s opening night of their US tour, the bands more prevailing side shined through as the Magnificent lifted off like a rocket ship into space.

. It Might Get Loud (Film Review)
One of the twentieth centurys greatest inventions was the electric guitar and over the course of 100-minutes, three guitar gods from different generations (The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White) try to define and express what this instrument means to them. (3.5 stars) - Read the full It Might Get Loud (Film Review) review
