September 2, 2026

Last weekend we were able to catch Pro Pain live on their summer run in Europe at the “Wallesau Ist Blau”-festival. It’s a three-day-festival in a small town in Bavaria with mostly punk and metal music. The first one ever took place in 2003, so they are already in their 24th year. This show was the last stop on Pro Pain’s summer tour, and they gave their all. The audience went wild with circle pits, mosh pits, singing, headbanging and everything that one would hope for in a live show. Check out our pictures and enjoy!

John Mellencamp Takes Shoreline on a Trip Through the Soundtrack of Our Lives

August 13, 2026

Last night at Shoreline Amphitheatre, we were taken back in time with a stellar performance from John Mellencamp. Mellencamp brought his Dancing Words – The Greatest Hits Tour to Mountain View, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Backed by his full band, Mellencamp delivered a performance where every musician was completely on point. There was such a cohesion between them that you could feel it throughout the entire show. Mellencamp doesn’t just perform to the crowd, he plays off his band, interacts with them and clearly appreciates what each of them brings to the stage. That connection made the night feel even more special. He kicked off the set with “Lawless Times,” with the lyrics filling the backdrop behind him as the crowd sang along. It was the perfect kickoff to a night that nobody would soon forget. From there, it became hit after hit, emotion after emotion, and one incredible moment after another. You couldn’t help but feel like you had stepped into a time machine. With each song came a different [Read More]

Nashville indie rock band Post Sex Nachos are back with another preview of their upcoming album Big Bad, releasing the heartfelt new single “All For You.” The new record, which arrives on September 18, marks the band’s fifth full-length album and their most collaborative effort to date.

Their latest single, “All For You,” captures the emotional push and pull of life on the road. While the band is grateful for the opportunity to tour and perform, the song reflects the longing for the simple moments back home, everything from weekend Costco runs to late-night IHOP trips with loved ones. Frontman Sammy Elfanbaum says the song was inspired by a difficult period when touring kept him away from home longer than he wanted. “All For You was written at a time where I was pretty down on touring—not playing [Read More]
