The record features three studio tracks, three live recordings, and a couple of demos. I’m assuming the studio tracks are leftovers from the band's last album, Star Spangled Fist Fight, and if that’s the case, I’m struggling to understand how they didn’t […]

‘A Complete Unknown’ Offers the Usual Biopic Clichés … And That’s Alright, Ma

Andy Vineberg Features Writer, Tune Up Magazine I’m a sucker for music biopics. Always have been. Despite the usual flaws (hackneyed timelines, over-the-top substance abuse-fueled scenes, exaggerated or outright fictionalized events, and all the other clichés so memorably parodied in 2007’s “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”), I get a kick from seeing the lives and music of my favorite artists (and even many of my non-favorites) portrayed on the […]

KK Law Middays, 10am - 2pm, WTYU.rocks (Starting Jan. 2025) You know, the boss never puts bad songs on the list—just a lot of them. And while every track deserves its moment, I’m working with a six-pack budget here, so a sixer for me it is. Some weeks are easier to pare it down, but not this time.
