Purity Ring Concert Recap
There’s something unique about going to see a show at the First Unitarian Church. You walk downstairs to the sweaty, subterranean hall and push your way past a crowd of flannelled, snap-backed U Arts kids crammed right up to the stage.
Review: Band of Horses, “Mirage Rock”
Two years after a moderately successful third album, indie rock group Band of Horses have released their fourth, “Mirage Rock.” Fans still yearning for the plaintive and personal melodies that defined the group’s debut, “Everything All the Time,” will be disappointed by this release, which lacks tenderness and memorability.

Review: "Battle Born” — The Killers
Thirty seconds into “Flesh and Bone,” the opener on The Killers’ new album, “Battle Born,” it is easy to believe the band has not changed in eight years — the pop synths, edgy guitar chords and Brandon Flowers’ raspy vocals are reminiscent of their first studio production, “Hot Fuss.” Nonetheless, “Runaways,” undeniably the strongest track on "Battle Born," features high–soaring vocals and riveting drumbeats that showcase the group’s distinctive Springsteen and 80s rock influences in a completely new way.
