Devo Sells Out to the Man
Friday, August 15th, 2008In a shocking move, the original Radiohead (*), Devo, along with fellow 80’s supergroup Duran Duran and The Janitors are joining the illustrious ranks of bands included in Rock Band.

The Clash Complete Control Misunderstood Lyrics
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008The Clash are probably my favorite true punk band (unless you count U2’s first album Boy, or The Police’s Outlandos d’Amour, which I do, making them the best punk albums ever).

Rock History Lesson: The Police
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007They just don’t make rock bands like they used to.
