Link to the Power Chord column. Welcome to Dunn, North Carolina, Anytown, USA, population around ten thousand. It’s not the kind of place you would expect anything extraordinary musically.

Steve Hammond Interview. Watching Ice Queen’s singer and guitarist on his knees soloing over the heavy beat of the father-and-son rhythm section of the thrash band could certainly confound, if you were only familiar with Steve Hammond from his honky-tonk band The A.M.’s or had spoken to the erstwhile quiet musician.

Muscle Shoals Sound. About two hundred and sixty miles from Atlanta, a young woman, blind, deaf, and without speech, held her hands beneath a cascading capillary of the Tennessee River and was so moved that a single word found its way to her lips; “water.” And thus Helen Keller added her voice to the magical […]

Blood donation. An article by Liam Sweeny. A drunk driver swerves erratically down a busy street, losing control of the steering wheel and colliding with a woman in an SUV. The drivers’ side door is crumpled; she’s hurt, and the baby in the seat next to her might just become an orphan on day five […]
Interpol Review, by Josh Reedy. My copy: 2014 reissue by Matador Records When people think of early 2000s alt-rock bands that helped reignite interest in certain genres, Interpol is usually brought up pretty quickly.
