April 3, 2013 Before I became a Metal Head, I went through many different phases of music before I discovered the greatness and brutality that is metal. Limp Bizkit's Significant Other was the VERY first CD I ever bought, so there is a piece of my heart with these guys. After many rumors, new album, etc. Limp Bizkit is making a stop here in Grand Rapids!

July 7, 2011 Long Island rockers Taking Back Sunday, who were one of the early torchbearers to bring emo to the masses in the 2000s, have premiered the music video for "Faith (When I Let You Down)". The song is the first single from their just released self-titled album, which reunites the Tell All Your Friends lineup. Watch the clip after the jump to see the rise and fall of a viral video sensation.
