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...

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...

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....

I had the pleasure of talking with Harley Prechtel-Cortez, lead singer of Red Cortez. It is rare that I am excited about a new band, but this band from Los Angeles has blown me away with their music and style and stage presence. When I saw them opening for Airborne Toxic Event back in September, I described them as “a rock ‘n roll band with a twist of rockabilly and a hint of an homage to the 50’s when the harmonica was cool and men used to roll a pack of cigarettes up in the sleeve of their t-shirts.” You can...
