Guards had grabbed me with their free debut LP and released cover songs earlier this year and ever since then the album has yet to leave my iPod. With their performance at The Riot Room on Tuesday the band has turned me into a believer. Before I had the chance to catch the show I was given the opportunity to talk with Richie the front man for the band. We talked about Gaurds’ new album, Stage decorations and made fun of My Space a bit. As always enjoy the interview and let me know what you thought in the comments below....

Get to know the band Empires with me. After seeing a stellar set at The Record Bar on Thursday, I had to pull them aside, at least a couple of them, and find out more about them. The band, from Chicago, has been driving all over this country, and in this heat wave, with no air conditioning. So, the least you could do is give this interview a watch. Let me know what you think and be sure and check out Empires if they play a show near your home town. by Angela Davis

In light of the news from Comic Con that Jurassic Park 4 will finally see the light of day I was able to visit the park and talk with one of the best bands in the world, Foxy Shazam. Risking life and limb outside of one of the dinosaur’s cages we discuss the band’s new album, the future of Foxy Shazam, and their recent run in with the President. In all seriousness though if Foxy isn’t in your current iPod playlist I suggest you seek them out and if you know of the band and love the album you must see them live....

Sergio Vega re-joined the Deftones in 2009 after tragedy struck the band in late 2008 when bassist Chi Cheng was left in a “minimally conscious” state following a car accident. Vega had previously filled in for Cheng ten years earlier in 1999 when Cheng had been unable to tour with the band. Lost in Reviews had a chance to catch up with Sergio prior to the Deftones performance in support of their 2010 release Diamond Eyes in front of a sold out crowd on Monday April 25 at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City. We failed...

Alessandro Cortini may not be a name you immediately recognize. If you’re really into modular synthesizer’s you probably are. If not, its more likely you’ve seen him play. If you caught Nine Inch Nails on tour anytime between 2005 and 2008 there was a good chance you saw him performing live with that incarnation of the band. Cortini is also credited on Nine Inch Nails 2008 release Ghost I-IV as well as that same year’s The Slip. Besides his time with Nine Inch Nails, Cortini also has many other...

You can download  the track “Live In Fear” off of “Speak Through the White Noise” for the...

Blue Valentine is more than one of the indie and critical darlings of the award season of 2010. The film written and directed by Derek Cianfrance is also garnering quite a bit of notice in the indie music world thanks to it’s soundtrack that utilizes no less than 12 tracks from the band Grizzly Bear. Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles member Daniel Rossen took time to discuss the Blue Valentine soundtrack with Lost in Reviews on Wednesday Feb 23. Hi Daniel Its John from LostinReviews.com.

INNERPARTYSYSTEM started in 2008 and with their release of American Trash they have become one of 2011′s most up and coming bands.

At the Night the Buzz Stole Christmas (Night 1) I interviewed southern California’s very own the Dirty Heads.

Along with their music, the Dirty Heads are deeply involved with  the Fccancerfoundation (Fuck Cancer Foundation). If you wish to learn more,...

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...
