Danko Jones | [DVD]
Rock ‘n roll is way more than just attitude. Rock ‘n roll is way more than just a few kicks and tricks, some fancy clothes and a few shots on a far end page of a tabloid. True Rock ‘n roll derives from the inner self, jumps from the gut, from the way of handling [...]
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant
In a time when all the media seems to be discovering the wonders of K-Pop (that’s Korean pop music) and a few years after the well succeeded hangover of J-Pop (that’s Japanese pop), the Cult Edge decided to pay its tribute to a real rock ‘n roll Asian band: Thee Michelle Gun Elephant.

And that happens precisely because they were so over the place (just try to recall how many times you have listened to ‘Should I stay or should [...]

The prescription is way simple: get to know all the records by the Beastie Boys. Attitude, statement, empowerment, and a way of generously liberating our minds [...]
Sonic Youth | The future is well-written
Transcending, visceral, disturbingly acute… it is hard to define the art of Sonic Youth in a few words. Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley constituted the hard core of the band that recently “ended for a while” (as stated by Ranaldo himself), after the pretty much well-known separation of Moore and Gordon. [...]
Johnny Cash
The title of first Master of the Cult Edge had to be presented to an outstanding individual. This distinction had to be given to an artist that truly embodied what means to be different by simply being extraordinaire. Around here, the choice was pretty easy. Our discrete tribute goes to Johnny Cash (1932-2003).
