Josh sat down and had a good long chat with the guys from ALO, Dan and Steve,  while passing through Kansas City on tour with Jack Johnson recently. They discuss all matters from where their sound was defined, to the meaning behind the name, ALO and even onto their thoughts with the environment and the Gulf Disaster right now. Check it out and check out their music on their MySpace, linked below. ALO is not a band that dwells in the past. They are always moving forward. Always striving to discover new ideas. Always looking...

One of the bands that we were looking forward to most at this year’s Warped Tour was the highly acclaimed Gardening, Not Architecture. Angela got to sit down with Sarah, half of the genius that is GNA. If you don’t own their first record entitled The First LP make sure you head over to the official website and put it in your iTunes library, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Gardening, Not Architecture is an “electronic-tinged ethereal powerpop” collaboration between singer/songwriter Sarah Saturday...

Josh sat down with Stella Katsoudas from Dirty Little Rabbits for a little one on one time after their set at Warped Tour. Dirty Little Rabbits may be most notably known for Shawn Crahan (Slipknot), but it’s Stella that brings the sound to the masses and gets the attention the band most certainly deserves. Dirty Little Rabbits’ musical style is considerably different to Crahan’s most notable band Slipknot. Crahan explained in an interview in 2008 that he is an “alternative person in art and music”...

Modern Day Escape, comprised of vocalist James Vegas, guitarists Nxe and Marti Rubels, bassist Shep and drummer Corey, have made a name for themselves on a DIY ethic. Shortly after forming, the band began working on their breakout self-titled EP, recorded with Cameron Mizell at Change Studios in Orlando, FL. The EP, released in May of 2008, helped to skyrocket the band into the music scene, reaching as high as 4th on Smartpunk and garnering the attention of fans and labels alike. Closing out 2008 with a bang, vocalist...

Josh had a chance to talk with Ben and Liam from The Dillinger Escape Plan on how the tour has been, their process with recording and coming together on eHarmony plus much more. With a long history behind them since putting their debut album Calculating Infinity out in 1999, we will just guide you to their web pages to let you learn more about where they came from.  http://www.myspace.com/dillingerescapeplan The Dillinger Escape Plan is an American mathcore band from Morris Plains, New Jersey. The band originated in 1997 after...

Since the year 2000, FLATFOOT 56 have steadily unleashed a rollicking barrage of Celtic punk and folk-tinged hardcore from the South Side of Chicago to an international audience with intense and positive party-like energy. Coinciding with their 10-year anniversary, Flatfoot launched the release of their 3rd label-backed studio effort, Black Thorn, on March 30, 2010. Led by spirited front man Tobin Bawinkel (Vocals/Guitar), along with brothers Justin (Drums), and Kyle (Bass), and multi-instrumentalists Eric McMahon (Bagpipes/Guitar)...

Hidden in an electrical closet under the stage at Sandstone for the Vans Warped Tour, Josh started his day by interviewing AM Taxi from Chicago. Fueled only on a vegan diet and a full glass of black coffee, Josh blazed into the day, unbeknownst to AM Taxi for what they had in store for them. AM Taxi are a blend of old-school punk, world beat and modern pop influences. They combine experience with storytelling in their songs to create something people can relate to. We spoke to Adam (vocals/guitar) and Jason (bass)....

Many of you may know that we at Lost In Reviews are all big, big fans of the epic Andrew W.K. One might think, “Why? He is just a crazy screamer who sings about partying?” Well you would be only initially correct. He does like to scream his praise about partying, but there is a deeper layer to his scream and his love for putting everyone in a great mood. His motive in life seems to be to please everyone around him. He is never one to turn down a hug request from a fan, or cancel a show due to a lightning...

I had the pleasure of representing Lost in Reviews at the world premiere of Predators in Austin, Texas. This was my first red carpet event, so if I stumble a little in the video, it’s because I was truly nervous as heck. It was a small red carpet right outside of the Paramount theatre.  Not too many news outlets were there. It is really hot and humid in Austin and Dallas right now so everyone was sweating profusely, myself included. I was able to interview Charlie Boswell (worked on the technology used, from AMD), editor...

Josh sat down with the members of AutoVaughn before the Beaumont show in Kansas City last night (June 24) and chatted about their tour, drinking and mountain jousting. The band opened for Cage The Elephant and were supposed to be playing with The 22-20s, however, they canceled due to illness. AutoVaughn originates from Nashville, Tennessee and the members are:Darren Edwards – Lead vocals / Guitars; Stephen Wilson – Lead guitars / BGV’s; Ben Graham – Bass / BGV’s; and Andrew Grooms – Drums....

Interview: Play in new window| Download Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with the Director of the upcoming film Splice, Vincenzo Natali. It was a fun interview and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did participating in it. Ryan: I have been looking forward to this movie for a long time, and even after a week it’s still sticking with me. Was that your intention for the film? Vincenzo Natali: Yeah, I hope this is a movie that gets under your skin. Absolutely I’m very heartened to hear that. R:  I know it’s been...

Scroll to bottom for audio. I sat down with director Chris D’Arienzo and Chloe Sevigny to talk about the new film Barry Munday. This was Chris’ directorial debut and Chloe Sevigny was one of the stars of this brilliant comedy. Previously, Chris has worked as a screenwriter, and Chloe Sevigny has been in many movies such as American Psycho and television shows like HBO’s Big Love. You can read my review of Barry Munday here. This interview was what is called a round-table interview, in which other critics/reporters...

I was given the opportunity to interview Floria Sigismondi for her directorial debut in the new movie, The Runaways. Previously, her work has consisted of music videos and photography. Look for our review on the film here. This interview was what is called a round-table interview, in which other critics/reporters and myself try our hardest to confuse and embarrass the talent we are interviewing. Just kidding, you will hear other voices though, that I can not name. For the sake of continuity, all questions asked by others...

Andrew Bowser is not only the Director, but also the writer, editor and star of the excellent new film, Jimmy Tupper vs the Goatman of Bowie. I had the luck of seeing this fun experience of a film at this year’s SXSW festival. Afterward, I just had to talk to Jimmy Tupper himself about the amazing ride that this film takes you on.  Enjoy! By Angela Davis

While at SXSW, I had the opportunity to catch a screening of Haromny Korine’s latest Trash Humpers. You can read my review for the film by clicking here. The film has left a mark on my mind that almost three weeks later can’t be shaken. A few days after screening the film at SXSW I had the great fortune to sit down and discuss Trash Humpers with it’s Writer, Director, Actor, and Cinematographer, Harmony Korine  and get some insight into the film.
