We recently had a chance to sit down with Ben Romans (Keyboards), Ethan Mentzer (Drums) of The Click Five. With their debut cd ready to drop later in the summer, they are certainly making a name for themselves as one of the openers for Ashlee Simpson (along with Pepper's Ghost). We got to talk to Eric before their show at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. Give a Listen as we talk about about their debut CD, dealing with Ashlee level fame, the state of the "frontman", and Queen touring with Paul Rogers.

We recently had a chance to sit down with Howie Day before his jam packed show at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston. Howie's Stop All The World Now was originally released in October 2003, but recently has exploded with the success of "Collide." Give a Listen as Howie talks about the success of "Collide", relentless touring, as well as what comes next.

We recently had a chance to sit down with Tim Rice-Oxley and Richard Hughes, two-thirds of Keane, THE band that has been breaking big the last year. Their debut CD, Hopes and Fears, was number 9 on our list of the Best CDs of 2004 and have been showing no signs of slowing down. We got to talk to Tim and Richard before their sold out show at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston. Give a Listen as we talk about about their growing fan base, trading music online, as well as their upcoming show as part of Live8.

We recently had a chance to sit down with Chris Edwards, bassist of Kasabian, THE band that is breaking big. If you turn on your Modern Rock Radio, most likely you are going to be hearing Kasabian very soon. We got to talk to Chris before their sold out show at the Paradise in Boston. Give a Listen as we talk about about their new CD Kasabian, trading music online, Coldplay, and the rebirth of the live show.

We recently had a chance to sit down with Pete Wentz, bassist of Fall Out Boy, THE band that is about to break big. With a rabid following and the hooks to match, this summer should easily be the summer of the Fall Out. We got to talk to Pete before their sold out show at the Avalon in Boston. Give a Listen as we talk about about their new CD Under the Cork Tree, their fanbase, rock music, and creative control.

Before their show in Philadelphia, the whole band sits down to talk about re-signing with a major label that had already dropped them, being honest with your music, and skeletons in the closet.
