SuperHeavy <em>SuperHeavy</em> CD Album Review

SuperHeavy is a supergroup consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, Damian Marley, and Allah Rakha Rahman. It didn’t make me feel anything. Sure, it was interesting. But interesting doesn’t make the hair on my arms stand up, and if that doesn’t happen, I can’t recommend it.

Evanescence <em>Evanescence</em> CD Album Review

It’s been five long years since the last Evanescence album. Nearly every other review talks about her opening lyrics announcing she’s back. Yes, she’s back. Unfortunately, not much else is happening. At first a refreshing listen. Subsequent listens, average at best. Hey, still listen to it. It’s not bad, but it could have been better.

Conversation with Tunelab.com Founder Jay Rushing Posted

Jay Rushing is the founder of Tunelab.com, a site on which I’ve received my active rock news for four years. Outside of that, I’m mostly impressed with Jay’s articles on the music industry They identify problems, and unlike most articles on the subject, propose reasonable, viable, and practical solutions. He also possesses a much better voice for radio than yours truly, but that’s a discussion for another day.

American Head Charge Co-Founder and Bassist Chad Hanks Interview Archived

American Head Charge has reunited for Tourette, a mini-run of shows they’re doing in Minnesota and surrounding cities. Chad Hanks joined us live to talk about this development, as well as a potential new album. This show clocks in at two hours. This isn’t an interview, more like three guys sitting at a bar where one of the three just has more interesting stuff to say. All Knowing Force will forever support everything Head Charge does…always. AKF <3 AHC, but not in the “Dave Navarro took off his shirt so I must look” kind of way.

Bush, Chevelle, Filter Concert Review – 9/28/11 – Grove of Anaheim – Anaheim, CA

Not only was it worth $50, but I think this tour is one of the very best values currently on the road.

Making Fun of Death Metal

One of two things happened after our interview with Marty McCoy of Bobaflex.  Either a bunch of dudes decided to email us and pretend they were death metal-loving women or a bunch of death metal-loving women emailed us.  I don’t know if it’s more pathetic that a bunch of dudes would pretend to be women or if a bunch of women actually enjoy death metal.

Interview with Ville Friman of Insomnium

Melodic death metal, exported from Finland, right here on All Knowing Force. Ville Friman and his band Insomnium’s fifth album, One For Sorrow, will see an October 18th, 2011 United States release on Century Media. The album hasn’t been made available, so I haven’t heard it. But, if past releases are any indication, this is going to be awesome. -AB

Interview with Marty McCoy of Bobaflex

If a well-structured rock radio show with a defined trajectory is your thing, you might want to skip our recent interview with Marty McCoy of Bobaflex. As show hosts, this was as easy and enjoyable as it gets. We don’t sit around a table and do anything for the “Boom Boom” nor will we ever. Bobaflex fan or not, you’ll enjoy this show. Check out their latest release, Hell in my Heart, available everywhere.

Nonpoint Concert Review – 8/17/11 – Webster Theater – Hartford, CT

Andrew here. We’re are STILL without power. We’re also dealing with some technical bugs. BUT, let me say, I’m converted. Nonpoint is RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING live. Enjoy Darius’ review.
