STS9Peaceblaster1320 RecordsYou can’t help but like these guys. No, they may not have spikey faux-hawks or wear immense amounts of eye makeup. They don’t prance around on-stage with crumped-out dance routines…they don’t even sing (well maybe a little)… STS9 don’t need any of that commercial propaganda… their music speaks for itself.Although some have cast the band into that mystical hairy-bushed

Comic Book TattooTales Inspired By Tori AmosImage Comics“Your big bag of rocks finally got here!” My boss chimes in as he hands me a box weighing slightly more than a small child after a gluttonous day at the fair. I open the box in a wave of excitement as shards of corrugated cardboard and newsprint go flying about my office. And then I see the shiny green cover drawn by Jason Levesque in all

Author of one of the hottest comic titles released this year, Locke & Key, Joe Hill is well on his way to making a huge name for himself, not only as a New York Times Best-Selling author, but as one of the most imaginative and creative new writers to embrace the comic genre. And did I mention he’s the spawn of Stephen King? Choosing not to go by his famous literary last name, Joe Hill has

Ah, San Diaaago…the whale’s vagina… After battling through the five hour drive from Santa Cruz to Southern California and somehow surviving the almost three hours of horrendous LA traffic without blowing my brains all over the sun-roof, I made it to San Diego for preview night at Comic-Con International 2008. To my shock and amazement, it seemed as if Preview Night, originally designated as

The Wanteds - Failure Looks So GoodSelf Released Like a glimpse back into the indie scene that built the Grunge sound, this Portland trio’s new album had me from track one. Combining gritty yet catchy hooks, loud guitars, dissonant solos and driving drum lines, The Wanteds remind me of the music from my teenage years that inspired me to get out and pick up the guitar. With a sound reminiscent

So...what have all you been up to the past few years? Haven't heard much album-wise from The Dwarves since "The Dwarves Must Die"... Are there plans for another album or did the title track basically say it all? I’m glad you asked that. We have, in fact, died. I’m writing this in a fit of prognostication years before you even wrote to me. As luck would have it, the Dwarves Lost Albums are now

John 5 started playing guitar at the age of seven, inspired by the Saturday morning TV show Hee Haw: “I didn’t know any... musical genres. I was just in awe of the players”. His parents were supportive of his learning and permitted him to play in bars and clubs on the condition that he kept his grades up.Aged 18, John moved to California to pursue a career as a professional session guitarist

When did you decide art was your calling? Did you go to school for it?I've been drawing since I was a little kid. I have a Polaroid of myself at two-years-old, using one of my dad's draftsman pencils. But I made the big "this will be my life's pursuit" decision my junior year of high school, after I saw The Lion King. I watched the opening and was like, "I could do that!" Shortly after that, I

How did you develop your style? Did you go to school for art?It was a case, as it usually goes, of one part happy accident, one part deadline pressure/efficiency issues, and the final ingredient, idol worship of the artists I admire and tried to learn via the work I grew up on and admired most.No art school for me. I went to design school, though I did major in Illustration, it was mostly about
