Lady Musgrave at Ground Control on 2010-07-28
I like Lady Musgrave quite a bit. This was my third time shooting them live and the vibe was totally different than from The Talent Farm. It felt more emotive, more raw, and more fun. I spoke to Troy, the …
Remembering Never at The Talent Farm on 2010-07-10
I did not make a typo nor did I magically transport myself back to 2004. Remembering Never, one of South Florida’s most prolific and important hardcore bands have reunited. Even though the only original member is Pete Kowalksy, you …

KEZIA at The Talent Farm on 2010-07-10
Up and coming two step metallers Kezia out of Ft. Lauderdale intertwine a tantalizing mix of guttural screams and metalcore breakdowns. Their songs are fast and heavy with punishing breakdowns to dance and groove to. The choruses have a great …
Shai Hulud at Rocketown on 2010-07-03
There is not much I can say about legendary hardcore band Shai Hulud that hasn’t already been said in their storied 15 year career. Their influence into genres such as hardcore, post hardcore, screamo/emocore, progressive hardcore, and metal is immeasurable …
