See Crossfade’s full 53-photo slideshow from Sweatstock 2012. If there’s a Miami musician who’s best suited to accompany early afternoon drinking on a rainy day, it’s Jesse Jackson. Driven inside Churchill’s Pub by the rain, Miami’s favorite melancholy scruffster played a set pulled from his approximately nine billion songs, accompanied…
Skrillex is on a speedboat flying through the Biscayne Bay. He’s on his way to commit mass murder at Ultra Music Festival where he will kill beats and cause a massive dubstep bloodbath. For now, he’s just another cracker tourist on the water in Miami. But soon, his massive legion…

Nope, you didn’t misread that headline. DJ and electronic music producer The Polish Ambassador (AKA David Sugalski) is giving away the greatest gift in the world … Free music. And not just one song. But all of them. That’s over seven hours of music…
On Magrudergrind’s Crusher EP, there’s a track called “Heaviest Bombing” about writing graffiti. It fades from grindcore brutality into a hip-hop breakdown, ends in a squall of screeching feedback, and then jumps back into violent chord changes for the next song. That shit’s pretty cool. And the Washington D.C. band…

Proof that God is nonexistent struck us like an 18-wheeler going 65 MPH in a school zone when Nickelback announced their Here and Now arena tour earlier this year. We asked our readers to join the “stop Nickelback from infiltrating our up-and-coming, culturally relevant music scene” movement, but few responded…
Yesterday, CNN ran an interesting article about Southern stereotypes, “The South: Not all Bubbas and Banjos.” “The lower right-hand portion of the U.S. of A. is often pigeonholed as a tobacco-spittin’, Bible-thumpin’, gun-totin’ (and worse) backwater,” writes Todd Leopold. “So go ahead, fry up the buckwheat cakes, spoon out the…
WTF, 1.8 Million people “like” Def Leppard on Facebook? And holy shit, another 800,000+ dig Poison? No wonder these two glam metal giants are hitting the road together again; it’ll be the biggest tour ever! That’s right, MILFS, “Great Britain’s premiere arena rock band” and Rock of Love heartthrob Bret…

The art of sensual seduction via song ain’t nothin’ like it used to be. Back in the day, all it took was a few lines from Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” to not only get the panties droppin’, but also have them flying through the air like graduation caps. Contemporary…
Fuck the haters. Like, literally. In public. With an oversized inflatable banana. While wearing just a blazer and zebra-print speedo. In addition to laughing their effing asses off, screeching “I’m in Miami Bitch,” and doing non-stop “Shots” of Viagra-infused booze, LMFAO’s Redfoo and Sky Blu have become famous for their…
Cuban hip-hop flows will never stop flooding Miami’s shores. Take Mr. Haka, who came to the United States around the turn of the millenium, bringing the sounds of Camagüey with him. In 2004, he released an album titled El Legendario. He achieved some regional and national success with it. And…
Seth Bogart is queercore’s flat-chested poster boy and a household name among same-sex households with an affinity for independent garage rock. The colorful 31-year-old Hunx and his Punx frontman has become one of Hardly Art’s chief impresarios, a showman who’s second to none. Whether he’s eye-fucking men at his lively…
The last time singing dinosaurs were cool (read: Barney), we were barely old enough to ride in the passenger seat. Back then, our idea of a good dino song was sing “Apples and Bananas” as many ways as possible. But now we’re older and demand something more sophisticated from our…
The act of popular ’90s musicians scheduling and subsequently postponing tour stops in South Florida continues. Following a trend perfected earlier this year by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eddie Vedder has regrettably postponed his upcoming 15-city U.S. solo tour “due to temporary nerve damage” in the legendary Pearl Jam…
